Why the velocity v is taken as a value and the definition of velocity not applied on a relativistic equations?


The equations of time dilation and length contractions as we know are

L=L0(1v2c2)

and

δt=δt0(1v2c2)

Here, Δt0 is time interval between two events, and L0 is length in rest frame. An observer moving with velocity v measures the time interval Δt and the length L.


The velocity v that I am using has some value and for some reason I take it as a value and do not apply the definition

v=dxdt=limδt0δxδt=limtt0xx0tt0

Velocity as I know is “change in displacement over change in time”. Let’s take length contraction equation, as the length contract there must be some variation for the end points of a rod (say) to move across a point, causing change in v. So, why I am not taking some relativistic equation of v here in the equation. I feel, somehow there is some connection between length contraction, time dilation and this velocity. There must be something in this v which is not factored in these equations.
