(I) Lengths and time intervals depend on the factor

                 \(\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}\)

according to the theory of relativity (Eqs.  and . Evaluate this factor for speeds of: \((a)\ v=20,000\ \mathrm{m/s}\) (typical speed of a satellite); \((b)\ v=0.020c\); \((c)\ v=0.200c\); \((d)\ v=0.95c\); \((e)\ v=0.98c\); \((f)\ v=0.999c\).
