Problem

An inertial frame of reference S′S' moves past another inertial frame SS moving to the right with speed 15 m s−115 \text{ m s}^{-1}. At time zero the origins of the two frames coincide. a. A phone rings at location x=20 mx = 20 \text{ m} and t=5.0 st = 5.0 \text{ s}. Determine using Galilean transformation equations the location of this event in the S′S' frame. b. A ball is measured to have velocity 5.0 m s−15.0 \text{ m s}^{-1} in frame S′S'. Calculate the velocity of the ball in frame SS .
