Question

A meter stick hurtles through space at a speed of 0. 95c relative to you, with its length perpendicular to the direction of motion. You measure its length to be equal to.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Caty  ,  Use   the relativity formula for length.  ( they teach this in H.S. ? )  it's from my Modern Physics in college, A 300 level class  

L = $L_{0}$$\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }$

L = 3  $\sqrt{1-\frac{.95^{2} }{1^{2} } }$

L = 0.9367496998  meters

L = 0.94 meters approx
