Chapter 36, Problem 19P
(I) Suppose in Fig. 36–11 that the origins of S and S′ overlap at t = t′ = 0 and that S′ moves at speed v = 30 m/s with respect to S. In S′, a person is resting at a point whose coordinates are x′ = 25 m, y′ = 20 m, and z′ = 0. Calculate this person’s coordinates in S (x, y, z) at (a) t = 3.5 s. (b) t = 10.0 s. Use the Galilean transformation.

A spaceship S blasts off from the Earth. After some time, Earth station
informs the crew that they have settled into a constant velocity 0.28c
radially outward from the Earth, but unfortunately they are on a head-
on collision course with an asteroid A at a distance of 15 light-minutes
coming in towards the Earth along the same radius (see figure below).

Instruments on-board the spaceship immediately estimate the speed of
the asteroid to have a constant value 0.24c. It follows that the
maximum time (in minutes) available to the crew to evacuate the ship
