    To solve this problem, we will use the length contraction equation as follows:

    L = L0 ((1 - v^2/c^2)) ^0.5

    where:

    L is the desired length

    L0 is the length measured at initial frame = 1 m

    v is the velocity

    c is the speed of light

    Substituting by these givens in the above equation, we can calculate L as follows:

    L = 1 ((1 - (0.8 c) ^2/c2)) ^0.5 = 0.6 meters
