Moon is at the distance 384400 km from Earth and orbits the Earth every ∼28 days. Ifthe radius of the Moon is 1737 km (consider it to be spherical), what is the area of themoon as measured by the observer on Earth? (Hint: Length contraction)
The Global Positioning System (GPS) relies on very accurate atomic clocks aboard a network of 24 satellites, each of which orbits the Earth in 12 hours. To provide a resolution better than 1 meter on Earth, the clocks must not gain or lose more than 3 ns in 12 hours. That is, the clocks must be accurate to 3 x 10-⁹ s/(12 hr) = 7 × 10-14 The satellites move at a speed v = 3.9 km/s in circular orbits. Is it necessary for GPS receivers on Earth to account for special relativistic effects?
