Special relativity relating 3 dimensions

[Eats Dirt]

Homework Statement

An event happens in frame S at x=100m y= 10m z=1m at time t=2*10^-3s. What are the coordinates of this event in rame S' that is moving with velocity v=0.92c (ihat) and the orgins coincide at time t=0.

Homework Equations

Lorentz transformations

The Attempt at a Solution

I would think to do length contraction just in the x-axis but I don't think that is right.
Im not entirely sure how to boost from S to the frame S"

Why don't you just use the straight Lorentz Transformation equations?

Why don't you just use the straight Lorentz Transformation equations?

Which ones?
x'=y(x-Bct)?

 

[Chestermiller]

Which ones?
x'=y(x-Bct)?

Yes. But you can also use the other LT equation to give you the t' coordinate of the event.
