Question 1166690: According to the Theory of Relativity, the length L of an object is a function of its velocity v with respect to an observer. For an object whose length at rest is 25 m, the function is given by
L(v) = 25
1 −
v2
c2

where c is the speed of light (300,000 km/s).
(a) Find
L(0.75c), L(0.85c), and L(0.9c).
(Round your answers to two decimal places.)
L(0.75c) =

m
L(0.85c) =

m
L(0.9c) =
