Question: A plane trip lasts 8.0 h; the average speed of the plane during the flight relative to Earth is 220 m/s. What is the time

A plane trip lasts 8.0 h; the average speed of the plane during the flight relative to Earth is 220 m/s. What is the time difference between an atomic clock on board the plane and one on the ground, assuming they were synchronized before the flight? (Ignore general relativistic complications due to gravity and the acceleration of the plane.)
