A meter stick moves parallel to its axis with speed of 0.96 c relative to you. What would you measure for the length of the stick? The speed of light is 2.99793 × 108 m/s. Hong does it take for the stick to move past you?

The length of the stick is 0.28 m.

The time the stick take to move is 0.97 ns.

Explanation:

Given that,

Relative speed of stick v= 0.96 c

Speed of light

Proper length of stick = 1 m

We need to calculate the length of the stick

Using formula of length

Put the value into the formula

We need to calculate the time the stick take to move

Using formula of time

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The length of the stick is 0.28 m.

The time the stick take to move is 0.97 ns.
