can't_think_of_a_name Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Go to the link below and click on page 49 and question 1.24. https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/david-morin/files/relativity_chap_1.pdf So assuming I am understand the question correctly Bob and Alice have the same location in both frames. Event 0 everything is 0. event 1 I assume both Alice and Bob are at the same location for every location. So I am just doing the calculations once for Alice's frame for Alice and Bob's frame for Bob. I am not sure if the question asked it but I also did prime frame for Alice and Bob. gamma = 2 v = .866c t = 1 sec I go d = vt = (1 s)(.866c) = .866LS (for lorentz transform) Then t = 2 I could do the calculation or mulitply everything by 2. For t = 3 multiply by 3 etc Now to find t' for event 1 t' = gamma (t -xv /c^2) t' = 2(1 sec - (.866LS)(.866c) ) t' = .5 sec. Now to get event 2 variables multiply time by 2 to get event 3 multiply 3. Here is my basic formula t_event_number = t_1_or_t'_1 (event_number) t_event_number = t_1 t'_event_number = t_1' Let me show an example t_1' = .5 and t_1 = 1 While, event number = 0 - infinity Is this correct?
