80. A problem from relativity theory Suppose a spaceship of length Lo travels at a high speed v relative to an observer. To the observer, the ship appears to have a smaller length given by the Lorentz contraction formula L = LOA 1- d. Find lim Lov 1 V-C v² where c is the speed of light. a. What is the observed length L of the ship if it is traveling at 50% of the speed of light? b. What is the observed length L of the ship if it is traveling at 75% of the speed of light? c. In parts (a) and (b), what happens to L as the speed of the ship increases? v2 and explain the significance of this limit. c²
