In a clown's frame, two events occur at t=0, one at x=6m and another at the origin. Show that in inertial frames moving on the clown's x-axis, the two events are not simultaneous and that in fact the time difference between the two can range from negative infinity to positive infinity.

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...

ane sets up two mirrors in her reference frame where mirror A is located on the x-axis 100 m from the origin and mirror B is located on the y-axis 100 m from the origin. She then causes a light source, which is located at the origin and emits light uniformly in all directions, to flash once at t=0. (a) As measured in Jane's inertial frame, what is the time at which the light flash reaches mirror A? (b) As...

Keilah, in reference frame S, measures two events to be simultaneous. Event A occurs at the point (43.0 m, 0, 0) at the instant 9:00:00 Universal time on January 15, 2013. Event B occurs at the point (140 m, 0, 0) at the same moment. Torrey, moving past with a velocity of 0.750cî, also observes the two events.

Consider two events. Give an example of coordinates x,y,z,t and x’,y’,z’,t’ and relative velocity of the two frames u, such that event 1 occurs first in the unprimed reference frame, but event 2 occurs first in the primed reference frame. The example must use special relativity and show it works using numbers not just concept

Consider the case of two different frames of reference. One frame is stationary, the other is moving at a speed of 0.6 c in the + z direction. If an event occurs at position x = 1.9 light years at time t = 55.6 years in the moving frame, what x position, in light years, would be recorded for the event in the stationary frame. Give your answer to two decimal points.
