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 the flashes?

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...
