QUESTION:

If you were traveling in a high-speed rocket ship, would meter sticks on board appear to you to be contracted? Defend your answer.

ANSWER:

Answer: Step 1: In a high speed rocket ship a meter stick would appear normal to an observer on board. It would appear shorter seen by some one on the earth. Because of frame of reference. If you are in the same system ( or frame of reference) then you will not notice the change as you and the object are at same speed.
