Answer:
<em>0.97c</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
From the relativistic equation for length contraction, we have
= 
where
is the final length of the object
is the original length of the object before contraction
β = 
where v is the speed of the object
c is the speed of light in free space = 3 x 10^8 m/s
The equation can be re-written as
/
= 
For the length to contract to one-fourth of the proper length, then
/
= 1/4
substituting into the equation, we'll have
1/4 = 
substituting for β, we'll have
1/4 = 
squaring both side of the equation, we'll have
1/16 = 1 - 
= 1 - 1/16
= 15/16
square root both sides of the equation, we have
v/c = 0.968
v = <em>0.97c</em>

Have a great day!
Answer:
0.25 m/s
Explanation:
Average velocity = change in displacement / change in time
v = (1.5 m − 2.5 m) / (6 s − 2 s)
v = -0.25 m/s
The average speed is 0.25 m/s.
