Question: ( 1 0 pts ) In the coordinate system S , an observer measures a bright flash at x 1 = 1 2 0 0

(10 pts) In the coordinate system S , an observer measures a bright flash at x1=1200m, followed by a smaller flash 5 ms later at x2=300m. Meanwhile, an observer in system S' observes both flashes occurring at the same point x'.(refer to the figure below)
(a)(5 pts) Calculate the relative velocity v of S' with respect to S and determine whether S' is moving in the +x or -x direction.
(b)(5 pts) Determine the time interval between the two flashes as measured by the observer in S'. State which flash occurs first.
