The body becomes shorter along its direction of motion; that is, its length contracts.
(If I were to pull out a pair of binoculars and look at your speeding car, I would actually see its length contracted and you moving in slow motion inside).
In the core, the bond length and the bond energy are almost the same as the corresponding bulk values; in surface, the bond length contracts but the bond energy increases; and in the subsurface, the bond energy keeps the bulk value but the bond length contracts.
Clark is an impoverished grad student and gambler who owes money to the mob and has signed a high-risk, book-length contract with Jamie's father to tutor her for her SAT.
Professors Milberg and Winkler define offshoring as "all purchases of intermediate inputs from abroad, whether done through arms-length contract (offshore outsourcing) or within the confines of a single multinational corporation".
Similarly, according to the relativistic equations, an observer riding a light wave would see lengths contract to zero and clocks stop ticking as the universe approached him at the speed of light.
Liverpool-born O'Donnell, 28, who arrived from Rotherham on a two-year contract in 2012, has signed a new, unspecified-length contract.
The factor γ by which lengths contract and times dilate is known as the Lorentz factor and is given by γ = (1 − v2/c2)−1/2, where v is the speed of the object.
"Is this an African viewpoint or rather a Western viewpoint?" In Namibia, political scientists say concerns are growing about whether officials are negotiating arm's-length contracts with China.
There is excessive arm's-length contracting compared to the case where the top firm controls this organizational choice itself.
As compared to arm's-length contracting, a vertically integrated firm can more readily realize efficiencies in the form of lower costs or improved quality, conditions that greatly benefit customers of the firm.
