The question...
Two events are observed in a frame of reference S to occur at the same space point, with the second event occurring after a time of 1.70s. In a second frame S' moving relative to S, the second event is observed to occur after a time of 2.25 s.
What is the difference Δx between the positions of the two events as measured in S'?
I know that you guys like people to post their attempt at a solution, but I am legitimately lost and don't even know where to start :(
All I've managed to work out is that for S', event 2 occurred [tex]6.75*10^8[/tex]m away.
Help would be much appreciated.
