5.9 Exercise 33

Avg difficulty 2.5

An observer at origin of inertial frame S sees a flashbulb go off at x=150km,y=15.0km,x = 150 \text{km} , y = 15.0 \text{km} , and z=1.00kmz = 1.00 \text{km} at time t=4.5×10−4s.t = 4.5 \times 10^{−4} \text{s} . At what time and position in the S′' system did the flash occur, if S′' is moving along shared x-direction with S at a velocity v=0.6c?v = 0.6 c ?
