Homework Statement
Frames S and S' are moving relative to each other along the x and x' axes. They set their clocks to
t = t'=0 when their origins coincide. In frame S, Event A occurs at xA = 1 yr and tA = 1 yr, while event B occurs at xB = 2 yr and tB = 0.5 yr. These events occur simultaneously in S'.
(a) Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of S' relative to S.
(b) Draw a spacetime diagram to confirm part (a).
(c) At what time do both events occur as measured in S'?
(d) At what locations do the events occur as measured in S'?
Homework Equations
I believe V=x/t can be used
Also, slope=1/v
The Attempt at a Solution
Using those two equations, the velocity for A is 1 and the velocity for B is 4
I don't know how those relate to S and S'. Also, isn't the slope of C=1? So B is going faster than the speed of light? Thats doesn't seem right
