In my inertial frame of reference S, event A occurs before event B. I measure these events to be separated by a time interval ∆tAB and a distance ∆xAB.
What are the conditions on ∆tAB and ∆xAB such that event A will be
observed to occur before event B in all inertial frames, no matter what?
Note-Answer must have only ∆tAB and ∆xAB, not any other variable should be present in the answer.

- 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.A particle is accelerated from 0.975c to 0.992c as measured in a laboratory reference frame. This is a change in speed of only 1.7% and the ratio of the velocities is 1.017 (as measured in the lab frame). What is the ratio of the particle momentum when moving at 0.992c as compared to when it was moving at 0.975c? This ratio should be expressed as a decimal number. P2 P₁Einstein concluded that the speed of light is the same in all inertial frames. Prove that the analysis of the Michelson-Morley experiment (see attached image) is in error.
- If simultaneity is not an absolute concept, does that mean that we must discard the concept of causality? If event A is to cause event B, A must occur first. Is it possible that in some frames A appears to be the cause of B, and in others B appears to be the cause of A? Explain.The muon is an unstable particle that spontaneously decays into an electron and two neutrinos. In a reference frame in which the muons are stationary, if the number of muons at t = 0 is N0, the number at time t is given by , where τ is the mean lifetime, equal to 2.2 ms. Suppose the muons move at a speed of 0.95 c and there are 5.0 × 104 muons at t = 0. (a) What is the observed lifetime of the muons? (b) How many muons remain after traveling a distance of 3.0 km?The inertial reference frames, S and S', both share the same origin at t =t'=0. The S' frame is moving at a speed 0.700c in the positive direction, as seen by frame S. An event happens at (t',x', y', z') (300s, 2.50x10"m, 1.50x10"m, 2.90x10"m), as observed in the S' frame. What are the spacetime coordinates in the S frame?
- Astronomer David observes that a distant quasar is receding from the Earth at a speed of 0.80c. He also observes a not-as-distant galaxy to be receding from the Earth at a speed of 0.20c. How fast is the quasar receding in the frame of the galaxy? Express your answer as a fraction of c = 2.998 × 108 m/s.This is the question please answerCalculate the interval ∆s2 between two events with coordinates ( x1 = 50 m, y1 = 0, z1 = 0,t1 = 1 µs) and (x2 = 120 m, y2 = 0, z2 = 0, t2 = 1.2 µs) in an inertial frame S. b) Now transform the coordinates of the events into the S'frame, which is travelling at 0.6calong the x-axis in a positive direction with respect to the frame S. Hence verify that thespacetime interval is invariant.
