According to the Theory of Relativity, the length of an object depends on its velocity v with respect to an observer. For an object whose length at rest is 10 m, its observed length L satisfies the equation c2L2 + 100v2 = 100c2 where c is 300,000 km/s, the speed of light. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably more comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0 m/s = 3.6 km/h and (b) 1.0 m/s = 2.2 mi/h.
