Relativistic length expansion in general accelerated system

In summary, the article revisits the classical solution of the relativistic length expansion in a general accelerated system and highlights the need for revision in the standard solution of the Bell's problem. The authors also consider the successful measurement of instant proper length between J.S. Bell's rockets. The article emphasizes the importance of discussing topics in high energy physics and String/etc. using peer-reviewed publications rather than preprints.

Abstract: The aim of the present article is to give an exact and correct representation of the essentially important part of modern special relativity theory that touches upon the behavior of the proper length of accelerated moving bodies.In particular we pointed out that standard solution of the Bell's problem [3]-[4]revision needed. Classical solution of the relativistic length expansion in general accelerated system completely revisited.Instant proper length measurement between J.S.Bell's rockets also is considered successfully.

Please note that for topics outside of high energy physics and String/etc., we would recommend that the sources should be a peer-reviewed publication, not preprints. If you have an exact publication citation for this, please provide it. If not, we strongly recommend that you wait until it is published before discussing it in here.

Related to Relativistic length expansion in general accelerated system

1. What is relativistic length expansion in a general accelerated system?

Relativistic length expansion refers to the phenomenon where objects appear to increase in length when they are moving at high speeds, close to the speed of light. In a general accelerated system, this length expansion is further enhanced due to the effects of acceleration on the object's motion.

2. How does acceleration affect the relativistic length expansion?

Acceleration increases the velocity of an object, causing it to approach the speed of light. As the object's velocity increases, its length appears to expand due to the effects of relativity. In a general accelerated system, this expansion is even greater due to the constant changes in the object's velocity.

3. Can relativistic length expansion be observed in everyday objects?

No, the effects of relativistic length expansion are only noticeable at very high speeds, close to the speed of light. In everyday objects, the speeds are too low to experience any significant length expansion due to relativity.

4. What is the formula for calculating relativistic length expansion?

The formula for calculating relativistic length expansion is L = L0 * √(1 - v2/c2), where L is the length of the object in motion, L0 is the rest length of the object, v is its velocity, and c is the speed of light.

5. How does relativistic length expansion relate to time dilation?

Relativistic length expansion is closely related to time dilation, which is the phenomenon where time appears to slow down for objects moving at high speeds. Both effects are a result of the principles of relativity and are dependent on an object's speed and acceleration.
