Answer:
Relativistic Length Contraction. One of the peculiar aspects of Einstein's theory of specialrelativity is that the length of objects moving atrelativistic speeds undergoes a contraction along the dimension of motion. ... The amount ofcontraction of the object is dependent upon the object's speed relative to the observer ...

Answer:
Explanation:
We will apply special relativity here,
γ = 1/√(1–V²/c²)
so, here, γ= original length / length after contraction=1/0.99
=> 1/0.99=1/√(1–V²/c²)
1–V²/c²=0.9801
V²/c²=0.0199
V/c=0.141
=141/100= (14.1%)c
Hope this helped you a little!!!
