An observer at origin of inertial frame S sees a flashbulb go off at x = 190km, y = 20km, and z = 0kmat time t = 5 x 10-4s. At what time and position in the S' system did the flash occur, if S' is moving alongshared x-direction with S at a velocity v =0.8c? Let the origins of frame S and frame S' coincide at timet = 0 and t'= 0.HintThe time (in units of 10-4s) and position (in units of km) of the flash is[Format hint: Specify your answer as a 4-tuple, for example, (2, 100, 5, 1), for a flash occurring at2 x 10¹s at the location of (x = 100km, y = 5km, z = = 1km).]

To find the time and position of the flash in the S' system, we need to perform a Lorentz…

1) Calculate the interval As 2 between two events with coordinates (x1 = 50 m, y1 = 0, z1 = 0, t1 = 1 us) and (x2 = 120 m, y2 = 0, z2 = 0, t2 = 1.2 µs) in an inertial frame S. 2) Now transform the coordinates of the events into the S0 frame, which is travelling at 0.6c along the x-axis in a positive direction with respect to the frame S. Hence verify that the spacetime interval is invariant.
An experimenter has studied the decay of a K° particle in which it emits a 7° at 0.8c. One such K° particle passes the experimenter at 0.5c and decays, emitting a 7° in the original direction of motion. In the experimenter's frame, the speed of the T° is measured to be O 1.3c. O between c and 1.3c. between .5c and .8c. O between .8c and c..

A person on Earth observes two rocket ships moving directly toward each other and colliding as shown in the figure below. At time t = 0 in the Earth frame, the Earth observer determines that rocket A, travelling to the right at vA = 0.80c, is at point a, and rocket B is at point b, travelling to the left at vB = 0.60c. According to the Earth observer they are separated by a distance l = 4.2 x 108 m as shown in the other figure. How much time will elapse in frame A from the time rocket A passes point auntil collision?
