9. Which one of the following statements is a consequence of Special Relativity (speed comparable to the speed of light)?

A) Clocks that are moving run slower than when they are at rest.

B) Clocks that are moving run faster than when they are at rest.

C) Clocks run the same whether at rest or in motion.

10. According to Special Relativity,

A) The length of a moving object is larger than it is at rest.

C) The length of a moving object is shorter than it is at rest.

D) The length of a moving object does not change.

9) option a is correct.

Moving clocks run slower as there is time delation. This can be further understood by time interval in moving spaceship is less than that on Earth.
