Question:

In studies of elementary particles such as electrons, physicists use machines called “accelerators” in which the particles move at very high speeds. Suppose an electron in one of these machines has a speed of 0.9999c and it travels along a straight line for a distance of 500 m as measured by physicists doing an experiment. How long is the accelerator as measured by a person riding along with the electron?
