**Relativistic Physics Question**:**Question 33**: If a box is accelerated at relativistic speeds toward the top of this page, which dimension would be reduced?**Answer Choices**:A) X B) Y C) Z D) None, they all stay constant **Explanation of Graph/Diagram**:- There is a coordinate system included with three perpendicular axes labeled X, Y, and Z.- An illustration of a cube is shown with an arrow labeled V, indicating velocity, pointing upwards. This suggests the direction of motion is aligned with the Y-axis.**Note**: In the context of special relativity, objects moving at relativistic speeds experience length contraction along the direction of motion. In this case, since the motion is toward the top of the page, which corresponds to the Y-axis, the dimension Y would be reduced. Therefore, the correct answer is B) Y.

Relativistic Energy and Momentum

According to classical physics, time flow is the same for every observer. But according to einstein's theory, time flow is different for different observers. The idea that time flow is not the same for all may sound strange because we may not experience this effect in everyday life. This effect is only observed when an object moves with some velocity comparable to the velocity of light. This velocity is termed relativistic velocity.
