If you were to travel at speeds near the speed of light, you would notice that your

All of these.

pulse rate has decreased.

mass has increased.

length has contracted in the direction you are moving.

None of these.

  1. Answer:  None of these.

    You would notice:pulse rate has decreased, mass has increased and length has contracted in the direction you are moving only in those things outside your frame of reference.  Everything within your frame would remain unaltered relative to you.  You don't experience the effects; you observe the effects.


  2. none of these

    in your own frame of reference nothing changes since you aren't moving relative to yourself

    ,.,

  3. I know " mass has increased & lenght contracted " about the paulses I do not know.

  4. None of these, although they happen it only seems such to people who are at speed 0, whereas you don't notice your own time slowing down.  I don't know about mass though so maybe that one is right and/or length.

  5. firstly it depends w on frame of reference,if frame of reference is in urself yhen nothing gonna changed but if reference frame is not dat 1 then mass increases....

  6. This is one of the most confusing aspects of Special Relativity. I.E. Since everything in the entire universe is in motion, what exactly constitutes a rest frame of reference?

    For example, if you measure an object on Earth, the rest frame of reference is the Earth. If you then board a spacecraft, accelerate to near light speed, taking the object with you, and measure the object, you get the same results because the spacecraft is the rest frame relative to you. At the same time, someone still on Earth would measure you, the object, and the spacecraft undergoing time dilation, relativistic mass increase, and length contraction by the Lorentz transformations. Depending on your point of view, both of you are right.

    Check the following link and see what makes sense to you:

  7. If you were to travel at speed near the speed of light,... wait, with respect to what?

    You ARE already traveling very near the speed of light with respect to  some electron in accelerator. Do you feel any strange effects because of this?
