Homework Statement
Find a system K' in which the following events in frame K appear at the same time:
i) x1 = a; t1 = (2a) / c; y1 = 0; z1 = 0
ii) x2 = 2a; t2 = (3a) / (2c); y2 = 0; z2 = 0
Describe the motion of K'.
Homework Equations
Lorentz transformations; time dilation; length contraction..maybe?
The Attempt at a Solution
My scratch-work is too complicated to try and re-post here, but basically I have come to the conclusion I don't really know how to use the equations to describe the motion of K'. I need to describe the motion of K' in the direction along which the motion occurs, which is obviously the x-axis
