Pendulum Clock
What happens it your take a pendulum clock in a jet,would it swing & read differently?Explain?
according to Newton gravity theory the period of a pendulum clock formula is;
T^2 = LENGHT OF PENDULUM DIVIDED BY ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY.
Would it be different if we use Relativity theory?
Super question. Yes but only imperceptibly. In the order of fractions of a nanosecond.
One: the swing of the pendulum is affected by the force of gravity. The higher the elevation the weaker the force gets, the slower the pendulum swings ie; Newtonian physics.
Two, the faster the object the more slowly time moves within it’s relative reference frame; Einsteinian special relativity.
Thirdly, weaker gravitational field yields to a space-time contraction; General Relativity principle.
So even raising the pendulum a few inches will alter it’s rate. But it will only do so to an incredible small and undetectable amount. On the other hand experiments have been done in jet planes using atomic clocks which have demonstrated these theories of our universe to be correct and yes, the atomic clocks did slow down !
Amazingly it only takes a little study of algebra and physics to understand how this is so.
