"Bonus Question [4 Points]: I've made enough questions for you, make your own question to solve. (Give me an E&M II question of similar difficulty to those found in Question 1. Give me the correct solution.)" Student question (handwritten): Professor Goodwin acquired superpowers and is now able to fly at 3/5 of the speed of light. They pass the group of E&M students and shout, “Look at this beautiful 5 m ladder!” Confused students look around, not finding a 5 m ladder anywhere. Perhaps relativity is the problem? How long is the ladder in the students' reference frame?

A modelled view from space looking down on the Earth's Northern hemisphere. The Sun is well off-screen, to the left. A light purple (pink?) mesh drapes over the left (sunward side) of the Earth, representing the approximate location of the Earth’s bow shock (where the solar wind collides with the Earth's magnetic field). Closer to the Earth, a dark purple mesh drapes over the Earth, representing the approximate location of the Earth's magnetopause. The moon is near the top of the image, underneath the bow shock.
Current location and upcoming locations of the moon from www.timeanddate.com. The moon is near the top right corner, between the dawnside and nightside (relative to the Earth and Sun).
