ok I am a little stuck on this problem, I am hoping some one can help me out
One way to set up the system of synchronized clocks would be for the chief observer to summon all her helpers to the origin O and syncronize their clocks, and have them travel to their assigned positions very slowly. Prove this claim as follows: Suppose a certain observer is assighned to a position P at a distance d from the origin. If he travels at a constant speed V, when he reaches P how much will his clock differ from the chiefs clock at O? Show that this difference approches 0 as V approches 0.
So i found the observer that is moving with speed V has a time t=d/v at first i thought this was the difference but the limit is not 0. now i am thinking that there is no difference between the observer and chief because he is moving very slowly, but is that is right how do i show that the limit approches 0 ?
thanks for the help
