Lorentz contraction formula The Lorentz contraction for- mula in relativity theory relates the length L of an object moving at a velocity of v mi/sec with respect to an ob- server to its length Lo at rest. If c is the speed of light, then L? = L3 1 (1-) %3! For what velocities will L be less than L.? State the answer in terms of c.
