A supertrain (rest-length = 100 m) travels at a speed of 0.950 c as it passes through a tunnel (rest-length 50.0 m). As seen by a trackside observer, is the train ever completely within the tunnel? If so, by how much?

Question 2

The period of a pendulum is 2.0 s in a stationary inertial frame of reference. What is its period when measured by an observer moving at a speed of 0.60 c with respect to the inertial frame of reference?
