Homework Statement
A clock is moving past us at speed v=\frac{c}{2} reads t^{'}=0 when our clock read t=0. Using the Lorentz tranformation, find out what our clock will read when the moving clock reads 10s.
Homework Equations
t=\gamma(x^{'}+\frac{Vt^{'}}{c^{2}})
The Attempt at a Solution
Alright so I know I have this one wrong if I use the equation for time dilation I get 11.5 seconds and it is correct, but I am having trouble using the lorenz transformation to get the same answer. For x^{'} I am using the equation Vt=x and get 5cs (light seconds), but I am ending up with a t=14. seconds.
I have some small silly disconnect somewhere. Help?
