in an inertial frame, two events E1 and E2 are separated by a distance 6 m in the x-direction. E1 occurs 4.0 s before event E2. An observer in inertial frame S' moving in the x-direction relative to frame S observes the events at the same location. what time interval does frane S' observe between the events?

Two events are observed by inertial observer Stampy to occur a spatial distance of 15 c·s apart with the spatial coordinate of the second larger than the spatial coordinate of the first. Stampy also determines that the second event occurred 17 s after the first. According to inertial observer Philip moving along Stampy’s +x axis at unknown velocity v, the second event occurs 10 s after the first. (1 c·s = 1 light-second = unit of distance.) a) Given Philip...

3) Two events are perceived by inertial observer A as being separated by distance x and time t. a) What is the time between the events perceived by inertial observer B who is at both events, and is that more or less than t? (One way is to find an invariant.) b) Does B reckon that A's clock is ticking slowly or quickly, and by what factor, in terms of the above givens? c) How does B resolve the apparent...

Keilah, in reference frame S, measures two events to be simultaneous. Event A occurs at the point (37.0 m, 0, 0) at the instant 9:00:00 Universal time on January 15, 2013. Event B occurs at the point (105 m, 0, 0) at the same moment. Torrey, moving past with a velocity of 0.760cî, also observes the two events. In her reference frame S', which event occurred first? event A event B What time interval elapsed between the events? ns

Two events observed in a frame of reference ? have positions and times given by (?1, ?1) and (?2, ?2), respectively. a) Frame ?′ moves along the ?-axis just fast enough that the two events occur at the same position in ?′. Show that in ?′, the time interval between the two events is given by ′ √ 2 Δ?2 Δ?= (Δ?)−(?), where Δ? = ?2 − ?1 and Δ? = ?2 − ?1. Note that this shows that if...

Inertial reference frame A and inertial reference frame B have x-axes that point in the same direction, and reference frame A moves relative to reference frame B at a constant velocity of 0.680 c in the +x-direction. These reference frames record the times and positions of the following two events. A space transmitter is destroyed in a sudden explosion. The on-board computer on a space satellite suddenly shuts down. According to reference frame B, the computer shutdown occurred 7.51 x...

Observer S detects two flashes of light. A big flash occurs at x1 = 1020 m and, 4.34 μs later, a small flash occurs at x2 = 690 m. As detected by observer S', the two flashes occur at a single coordinate x'. (a) What is the speed parameter of S', and (b) is S' moving in the positive or negative direction of the x-axis? To S', (c) which flash occurs first and (d) what is the time interval between...

Two neutron stars are separated by a distance of 1.0 x 1011 m. They each have a mass of 1.0 x 1029 kg and a radius of 1.0 x 105 m. They are initially at rest with respect to each other. As measured from that rest frame, how fast are they moving when (a) their separation has decreased to one-half its initial value and (b) they are about to collide?
