Two events are observed in a frame of reference S to occur at the same space point, the second occurring 1.80 s after the first. In a frame S′ moving relative to S, the second event is observed to occur 2.05 s after the first. What is the difference between the positions of the two events as measured in S^?

  1. Answer:

    The difference between the positions of the two events as measured in = 3.53 *10^8 m/s

    Explanation:

    As we know –

    [tex]\Delta x = -\gamma \mu\Delta t[/tex]

    Here,

    [tex]\Delta x[/tex] is the difference between the positions of the two events as measured in S^

    [tex]\gamma[/tex] [tex]= \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{\mu^2}{c^2} } }[/tex]

    And

    [tex]\mu[/tex] = 0.547 c

    Substituting the given values in above equation, we get –

    [tex]\Delta x = (0.547 c)*\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{\mu^2}{c^2} } }*2.15\\\Delta x = (0.547 c)*\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.547 c)^2}{c^2} } }*2.15\\\Delta x = (0.547 *3*10^8)*\frac{1}{\sqrt{(1-\(0.547 )^2 } }*2.15\\\Delta x = 3.53 *10^8[/tex]meter per second
