1 Lorentz Factor, g

2 There was a young lady named Bright
Who traveled much faster than light, She departed one day In a relative way And returned on the previous night.

3 Length Contraction

4 The length of the object is measured to be shorter when it is moving relative to the observer than when it is at rest.

6 There was a young fencer named Frick,
Whose thrust was exceedingly brisk, So fast was his action The Lorentz contraction Reduced his rapier to a disk.

7 A rectangular billboard in space has the dimensions 10mx20m
A rectangular billboard in space has the dimensions 10mx20m. How fast and in what direction with respect to billboard would a space traveler have to pass for the billboard to appear square?

8 Relativistic Momentum

9 Mass and Energy
