Lorenz Transformation where L0
is the length of the object at rest,
L
is the relative length when the object is moving at velocity
v
, and
c
is the speed of light. Factor the radicand and use the result to determine the relative length of a domestic shorthair
cat of length 18 inches if it is shot past a stationary observer at 0.75 times the speed of light.
