Question
Multiple Choice: Please select the best answer and click "submit." A stationary observer views four identical objects that are traveling at nearly the speed of light. Can their lengths be used to rank the objects according to their speeds? No. The length of each object depends on the frame of reference of the observer. No. The lengths of the four objects should be the same regardless of speed. Yes. The longest object is traveling the most slowly, because lengths appear shorter nearer to the speed of light. Yes. The shortest object is traveling the most slowly, because time slows down nearer to the speed of light.Explanation / Answer
A because the length of each object depends on frame of reference of observer
if observer is stationery but in a frame which travels at near light speed he will experience length contraction
otherwise for everyday speed there shall not be any change in length of the objects.
