Determine the metersticks length

Reference no: EM13521405

A meterstick moving at 0.931c relative to Earth approaches an observer at rest with respect to Earth. (Assume the long dimension of the meterstick is parallel to the velocity.)

(a) What is the meterstick's length, according to the observer? m

(b) Qualitatively, how would the answer change if the observer were moving relative to Earth in the opposite direction?
