Question:

Bullwinkle in reference frame S' passes you in reference frame S along the common direction of the x' and r axes, as in Figure. He carries three meter sticks: meter stick 1 is parallel to the x' axis, meter stick 2 is parallel to the y' axis and meter stick 3 is parallel to the z' axis. On his wristwatch he counts off 15.0 s, which takes 30.0 s according to you. Two events occur during his passage. According to you, event 1 occurs at x1 = 33.0m and t1 = 22.0 ns, and event 2 occurs at x2 = 53.0 m and t2 = 62.0 ns. According to your measurements, what is the length of

(a) Meter stick 1,

(b) Meter stick 2, and

(c) Meter stick 3? According to Bullwinkle, what are?

(d) The spatial separation and

(e) The temporal separation between events 1 and 2, and?

(f) Which event occurs first?
