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 5 m, the function is given by :5/1-1// L(v) = 5 where c is the speed of light (300,000 km/s). (a) Find L(0.65c), L(0.7c), and L(0.95c). (Round your answers to two decimal places.) L(0.65c) = 0.35 Xm L(0.7c) = L(0.95c) = m m (b) How does the length of an object change as its velocity increases? It will appear to get shorter. It will appear to get longer. It will appear to stay the same. According to the Theory of Relativity, the length L of an object is a function of its velocity v with respect to an observer.
