How fast would a rocket have to go relative to an observer for its length to be corrected to 99% of its length at rest. Data: (l)/(l_(0))=99% =(99)/(100), v = ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :`l=l_(0)sqrt(1-(v^(2))/(c^(2)))`
`l=(99)/(100)l_(0)`
`(l)/(l_(0))=(99)/(100)`
`:. (99)/(100)=sqrt(1-(v^(2))/(c^(2)))`
`:.` v = 0.141 C
`v=0.141 xx 3 xx 10^(8)`
`v=0.423 xx 10^(8) MS^(-1)`
