Problem
The figure below shows two rectangular spaceships, one at rest and the other one moving at speed v=3c/2. In the stationary frame, they are seen to have the same length L and their two ends align at t = 0. If we know that the clock at the left end of the moving spaceship is showing that the time is at t' = 0, what time would the clock at its right end show?
a) −3L/c
b) 3L/c
c) −L/3c
d) L/3c
e) 0
