According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and then slows down, eventually coming to a stop?

Which diagram correctly demonstrates the various forces acting on a ball moving horizontally with some speed?

Unpolarized light of intensity i_0=750w/m^2 is incident upon two polarizers. after passing through both polarizers the intensity is i_2=280w/m^2. (a) what is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in w/m^2? (b) write an equation for the angle between the polarizers in terms of the initial (i_0) and final (i_2) intensities. (c) find the angle between the polarizers in degrees.

The seven sisters, seven stars located more than 400 light-years away in the taurus constellation can be seen here with venus and another constellation, orion. the seven stars stay grouped together but seem to move, like the planet venus. why do stars seem to move like planets in the night sky?
