WhenEnterpriseispassingtheEarthstationataconstantspeed??? =0.99?(relativetoEarth), Earth station detects Romulan at a distance 0.21 ly (relative to Earth)in front of Enterprise and travelling at a constant speed ??? = 0.84? (relative to Earth). Enterprise received an order from Earth to intercept Romulan spaceship.(Figure ) Captain of Enterprise asks you to report (a) the Romulan’s speed relative to Enterprise. (b) the distance of Romulan relative to Enterprise when Enterprise is passing the Earth station. (c) the time of interception happens in Enterprise frame.

Captain of Enterprise asks you to report
(a) the Romulan’s speed relative to Enterprise.
(b) the distance of Romulan relative to Enterprise when Enterprise is passing the Earth station.
(c) the time of interception happens in Enterprise frame.
(d) the time of interception happens in Earth station frame.
(e) The Lorentz transformation that connects the coordinates between Enterprise and Earth station.(Use (??,??) for the coordinates in Enterprise’s frame and (??, ??) in Earth station’s frame.)
