Chapter 29, Problem 33PCE

Predict/Calculate The starships Picard and La Forge are traveling in the same direction toward the Andromeda galaxy. The Picard moves with a speed of 0.90c relative to the La Forge A person on the La Forge measures the length of the two ships and finds the same value. (a) If a person on the Picard also measures the lengths of the two ships, which of the following is observed; (i) the Picard is longer; (ii) the La Forge is longer; or (iii) both ships have the same length? Explain. (b) Calculate the ratio of the proper length of the Picard to the proper length of the La Forge.
