Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply length contraction einstein's relativistic formula to calculate the length observed by observer on the earth . For the observer , increased length will be observed for an observer on the earth
[tex]L=\frac{.5}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{.97c}{c})^2 } }[/tex]
[tex]L=\frac{.5}{.24}[/tex]
L= 2.05
The length will appear to be 2.05 m . and width will appear to be .5 m to the observer on the spaceship. . It is so because it is length which is moving parallel to the direction of travel. Width will remain unchanged.
