Chapter 36, Problem 19P

(I) Suppose in Fig. 36–11 that the origins of S and S′ overlap at t = t′ = 0 and that S′ moves at speed v = 30 m/s with respect to S. In S′, a person is resting at a point whose coordinates are x′ = 25 m, y′ = 20 m, and z′ = 0. Calculate this person’s coordinates in S (x, y, z) at (a) t = 3.5 s. (b) t = 10.0 s. Use the Galilean transformation.
