Physics - Modern Physics - Relativity - Time dilation and length contraction - Dilation and Contraction Problems

8 problems mixing time dilation and length contraction. P1: 'A rocket (proper length 50m) moves at 0.6c past a space station. Station observer measures its length as L = 50 × √(1-0.36) = 50 × ___ = ___m' (0.8, 40m). P2: 'A pulse of light inside the rocket takes 167ns to cross it (proper time). From
