The Figure Shows a Right-Angled Construction Frame ABCA B C When Measured at Rest, It Has Dimensions as Follows

Question 22

Multiple Choice

The figure shows a right-angled construction frame ABCA B C . When measured at rest, it has dimensions as follows: AB=18.9 m,AC=10.0 mA B = 18.9 \mathrm {~m} , A C = 10.0 \mathrm {~m} , and BC=16.0 mB C = 16.0 \mathrm {~m} . This frame is now given a new velocity of 0.4200.420 c, relative to Earth, in a direction parallel to ACA C . How long is part BCB C of this frame with the new velocity as measured by Earth-based engineers?  The figure shows a right-angled construction frame  A B C . When measured at rest, it has dimensions as follows:  A B = 18.9 \mathrm {~m} , A C = 10.0 \mathrm {~m} , and  B C = 16.0 \mathrm {~m} . This frame is now given a new velocity of  0.420  c, relative to Earth, in a direction parallel to  A C . How long is part  B C  of this frame with the new velocity as measured by Earth-based engineers?   A)   16.0 \mathrm {~m}  B)   10.0 \mathrm {~m}  C)   12.0 \mathrm {~m}  D)   18.0 \mathrm {~m}  E)   14.0 \mathrm {~m}


A) 16.0 m16.0 \mathrm {~m}
B) 10.0 m10.0 \mathrm {~m}
C) 12.0 m12.0 \mathrm {~m}
D) 18.0 m18.0 \mathrm {~m}
E) 14.0 m14.0 \mathrm {~m}
