Two events occur in an inertial system at the same time, but distance Do apart. In another inertial system, moving relative to the first with velocity , the two events are observed to be separated by distance D. The direction of is parallel to the line between the two events. What is the time difference between the two events in the second inertial system? Do = 4970 km; D = 9400 km;

ASK YOUR TEACHER You and your secret celebrity crush pass each other in rockets that are each traveling 0.83c relative to the other. Your secret celebrity crush takes a nap and you decide to time how long the nap takes. In your frame, the nap takes 2.6 h. How long was the nap in your secret celebrity crush's frame? Unbeknownst to you, your secret celebrity crush's agent is onboard the celebrity's rocket and saw you timing the nap. Concerned, the agent decides to time how long you were timing the nap. In the agent's frame, how long were you timing your secret celebrity crush's nap?
