@TuringTest silly question, but I'm not following. A meter stick is projected into space at such a great speed that its length appears to be contracted to 50cm. How fast is it going?

OpenStudy (agent47):

Is there not enough info, or does he mean that L-L_0 = 50

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so it has shank to half size apparently

OpenStudy (agent47):

L=L_0*sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

OpenStudy (agent47):

ohhhh lol hahahah... a METER STICK!

OpenStudy (agent47):

I am an idiot. I've spent hours on this.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

they are usually the same size 100cm

OpenStudy (agent47):

lol thanks

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

ha ha ha
