Question: Reference frame S is moving along the x axis at 0.6c relative to frame S. A particle that is originally at x = 10 m

Reference frame S’ is moving along the x’ axis at 0.6c relative to frame S. A particle that is originally at x’ = 10 m at t1’ = 0 is suddenly accelerated and then moves at a constant speed of c/3 in the -x’ direction until time t2’ = 60 m/c , when it is suddenly brought to rest. As observed in frame S, find

(a) The speed of the particle,

(b) The distance and direction the particle traveled from t’1 to t’2, and

(c) The time the particle traveled.
