If a meter stick moves to your right at a constant velocity of 0.8 c, what would you measure its length to be

To solve this problem, we will use the length contraction equation as follows:

L = L0 ((1 - v^2/c^2)) ^0.5

where:

L is the desired length

L0 is the length measured at initial frame = 1 m

v is the velocity

c is the speed of light

Substituting by these givens in the above equation, we can calculate L as follows:

L = 1 ((1 - (0.8 c) ^2/c2)) ^0.5 = 0.6 meters
