Relativity Unit 1: Quiz 03 Part A
Anastasia is standing next to a train track and a train carrying Beowulf passes her at a speed of 100 m/s.  Ten seconds later a firecracker explodes 500m from where Ana is standing, in the direction of the train tracks.  Find the spacetime coordinates of this event in both Ana's and Be's reference frames.  (Assume that the train's direction coincides with the x-axis and that Be passes Ana at time t=0.)
