The space and time coordinates of two events as measured in an inertial frame S are as follows: xA=a Event A t₁ = a/ (2c) Event B = 2a ta= 5a/ (6c) where a is some constant. There is an inertial frame S", in the standard configuration with S, in which these two events are simultaneous. b) to S. a) Draw a Minkowski diagram to indicate these two events in both the S frame. Also indicate the r' and ct' axes on your diagram. (5) c) d) YA = ²A=0 YB=B=0 Use the Lorentz transformation equations to find the speed of the S" frame relative (3) (5) (3) At what time do these events occur in the S" frame? Calculate the spacetime separation between these two events. 1 e) Is the spacetime separation between the two events time-like, space-like or light-like? (1) f) Is there a frame where Event A caused Event B?
