In frame S, event B occurs 2 ms after event A and at Dx = 1.5 km from event A. (a) How fast must an observer be moving along the +x axis so that events A and B occur simultaneously? (b) Is it possible for event B to precede event A for some observer? (c) Draw a spacetime diagram that illustrates your answers to (a) and (b).
In frame S, event B occurs 2 ms after event A and at Dx = 1.5 km from event A.
(a) How fast must an observer be moving along the +x axis so that events A and B occur
simultaneously? (b) Is it possible for event B to precede event A for some observer?
(c) Draw a spacetime diagram that illustrates your answers to (a) and (b). (d) Compute the
spacetime interval and proper distance between the events.
Given that,
In the S frame,
event B occurs after event B and the time between them is
* in question it is ms but time must be a microsecond, if not then velocity will be greater than the speed of light and which is not possible.
And the distance between them
a)
From the question in another frame (observer frame) they occur simultaneously, then
Let the velocity of the other frame or the velocity of the observer is
