In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the Lorentz factor for objects moving at given speeds relative to an observer.
Q1:
Which of the following is the correct formula for the Lorentz factor, 𝛾?
Q2:
What is 𝛾-1 for an object moving at a speed of 0.005𝑐 relative to an observer? Give your answer in scientific notation to two decimal places.
Q3:
Object A has a Lorentz factor of 1.25. Object B has a Lorentz factor that is ten times that of object A. What is the ratio of the speed of object B to the speed of object A? Give your answer to two decimal places.
