Chapter 26, Problem 56GP

According to the special theory of relativity, the factor γ that determines the length contraction and the time dilation is given by γ = 1 / 1 v 2 / c 2

Determine the numerical values of γ for an object moving at speed v= 0.01c: 0.05c, 0.10c, 0.20c: 0.30c; 0.40c, 0.50c: 0.60c; 0.70c, 0.80c, 0.90c, 0.95c, and 0.99c. Make a graph of γ versus v.
