If Professor Joe were to be traveling at the speed of light holding this meter (100cm) stick, what length of the meter stick would be seen by an outside observer?
greater than 100cm
less than 100cm
100cm
0cm
Homework Answers
Ans- 0cm
This is the general thing that when a body moves then its length seems to be shortened. But when an object moves in the speed of light i.e. 3*108m/s we can't see it. As we can't see that object it will seem to be of zero length.
Here the length of the stick is only 100cm. This is very less. So when it will move in the speed of light we can't notice it, so its length seems to be 0.

If you were in a spaceship traveling at a speed close to the speed of light (with respect to Earth) your notice that your mass is different than normal. some of your physical dimensions were smaller than normal your pulse rate is different than normal. None of these effects occur. More than one of these effects occur.

Gax is standing on his home planet as he observes his wife Zax orbit their planet at near-light speed. Gax and Zax have identical sticks that are one meter long and each are holding them parallel to the direction that Zax is moving. What does Gax observe about the length of the sticks? a) Zax’s stick is more than one meter long, while his stick is exactly one meter long. b) Both sticks are still exactly one meter long. c)...

Imagine a spaceship traveling at a constant speed through outer space. The length of the ship, as measured by a traveler aboard the ship, is 30.8 m. An observer on Earth, however, sees the ship as contracted by 19.7 cm along the direction of motion. What is the speed of the spaceship with respect to the Earth? (Express the speed as a fraction of c, the speed of light in a vacuum.) v c =
