The car heads east at an average speed of 50 miles per hour from the intersection point towards East. The truck heads east at an average speed of 60 miles per hour from the intersection point towards South.
The distance of car from the intersection point after t hours is .
The distance of truck from the intersection point after t hours is .
Since these distances are perpendicular to each other, distance apart d (in miles) at the end of t hours is
Thus the distance apart is
Answer:
Do neither of these things ( c )
Explanation:
For length contraction : Is calculated considering the observer moving at a speed that is relative the object at rest applying this formula
L = (l)
where l = Measured distance from object at rest, L = contracted measured in relation to the observer , v = speed of clock , c = speed of light
you will do neither of these things because before you can make such decisions who have to view the object in this case yourself from a different frame from where you are currently are, if not your length and width will not change hence you can't make such conclusions/decisions .
