Description: Relativists consider it a very important exercise to have students decide how to measure the length of a rapidly moving object.
Application of the Lorentz Transformations To use the Lorentz Transformations, we must decide to measure a moving meterstick or a moving rocket ship. It sounds simple enough. But if you will think on this for a moment, you will realize that it is not something you ordinarily do. Consider a freight train moving along a track. How would you measure its length?
