The formula for length contraction gives the length of an interval on a ruler moving with velocity
Question:
The formula for length contraction gives the length of an interval on a ruler moving with velocity v relative to an observer as √1 - v2/c2 times the length of the same interval on a ruler at rest with respect to the observer. By what fraction is the length of a meter stick reduced if its velocity relative to you is measured to be 95 percent the speed of light?

Myself Jitendra kumar yadav and I am currently studying at Malviya National Institute of
Technology, Jaipur in M. Sc PHYSICS final semester. And I did my graduation at central university of Rajasthan in physics and mathematics after that I'm qualified iit jam exam for M. Sc And join MNIT jaipur. And recently I'm qualified GATE - 2020. and i m too interested into become a tutor on solutioninn and distribute the my physics knowledge among the students and help more to more needy students.
Thanks
