Will the two clocks still be sunchronized after one year


Two atomic clocks are synchronized. One is placed on a satalite, which orbits around the earth at high speed for a whole year. The other is placed in a lab and remains at rest, with respect to earth. You may assume that both clocks cn measure time accurately to many signnificant digits.

a) Will the two clocks still be sunchronized after one year? Explain your reasoning.

b) Imagine that the speed of light was much slower than its actual value. How would the results of this experiment change if the speed of the light was only twice the average speed of the satalite? Explain your reasoning using a calculation.
