(I) A spaceship passes you at a speed of 0.850 . You measure its length to be 38.2 $\mathrm{m} .$ How long would it be when at rest?
Madhur L.
A spaceship whose rest length is 350 $\mathrm{m}$ has a speed of 0.82$c$ with respect to a certain reference frame. A micrometeorite, also with a speed of 0.82$c$ in this frame, passes the spaceship on an antiparallel track. How long does it take this object to pass the ship as measured on the ship?
