2. In order to avoid detection by the Borg, the starship Enterprise must make itself appear to be less
than 25.00m long. If the rest length of the Enterprise is 420.0m, how fast must it be travelling? [0.998c]
3. A train that has a proper length of 2000.m is traveling through a station at a speed of 0.75c. How long
does it appear to be to an observer standing in the station? [1300m]
4. If a second train heads through the station at 0.970c and appears to be 37.5m long to an observer
standing in the station, what is the trains proper length? [154m]
