Answer:
19m
Explanation:
we have proper length L = 100m
the speed of the train v = 0.95
the speed of light is given as = 3x10⁸
length of the tunnel is given as = 50 meters
we can solve for the lenght contraction as
LX√1-v²/c²
= 100 * √1-(0.95*3x10⁸)²/(3x10⁸ )
= 31.22 metres
the train would be well seen at
50 - 31.22
= 18.78
= this is approximately 19 metres
we conclude tht the trains ends clears the ends of the tunnel by 19 meters.
thank you!
