Hey guys I am doing special relativity in my physics class and we are working on time dilation. Right now I am really confused by what my teacher said and what the book says. Can someone help me out? here is my question...
Your friend flies from Los Angeles to New York. She carries an accurate stopwatch with her to measure the flight time. You and your assistants on the ground measure the flight time as well.
a. Identify the two events associated with this measurement.
b. Who, if anyone, measures the proper time?
c. Who, if anyone, measure the shorter flight time?
I am so confused by this, please help me
