An atomic clock moves at 1000 km/h for 1.75 hours as measured by an identical clock on the Earth. At the end of the 1.75 hour interval, how many nanoseconds slow will the moving clock be compared with the Earth-based clock?Hint: The binomial expansion allows the approximationΔtp=1−v2c2−−−−−√Δt≃(1−v22c2)Δt which can be used to find the differenceΔtp−Δt
