if the plane is sitting on the ground , it is moving.
and it is moving faster than the ground.
plane and ground
no I was talking about the plane moving relative to the ground.
plane and ground
…a balloon that will not be moving relative to the ground
balloon and ground
Reasoning in two directions at once may work well in politics, but how good is it in science?
how did you compose the two different directions?
not only can we not understand you guys , Im not sure how you guys can even understand yourselves.
when something is moving it has both direction and speed.
the plane is sitting on the ground , both the plane and the ground have the same direction , but the top of the plane
has more speed that the ground has.
the top of the plane has a speed 13 mph faster than the ground.
its not that hard to figure out.
still I introduced the balloon to try and give you a mental
picture of the differences in speed between the two.
BTW ... and Im surprised you didnt catch it.
I had the calculation wrong.
there was only a .00247 mph difference in speed between the top of the plane and the ground.
if 50 ft shows a difference in speed of .00247 mph , then a balloon at an altitude of 31 miles...
would show a difference of 8 mph speed between the ground and the balloon.
that's not really a lot of difference in speed , but because
in my opinion time dilation only occurs during acceleration the two clocks should register different times even though the clocks are not even moving away from each other.
they only have different speeds ( angular acceleration ) due only to there distance from the center of the earth.
