Due to the extreme comfort of the bench, you accidentally doze off. Eventually, you wake up and determine that you napped for 4 hours! How long would a train observer measure your nap to be? Q.3 Why does the Earth revolve around the Sun? Thats it 4 now Answer 1 A1. The world would seem stationary as you travel at c because as you travel at c the light coming from objects around you will never catch up to you as your relative speed becomes 0. Answer 2 Well, using the time dilation formula, here we have t0 = 4 hrs and v = 0.6c, so v/ c = 0.6. Therefore, a train observer measures your nap to last. Substitute the values and use the formula and you'll get 5hrs. Answer 3 The earth does not revolve around the sun because the sun is has a
