Question

Event A occurs at spacetime coordinates (300 m, 2μs ).

a. Event B occurs at spacetime coordinates (1200 m, 6 μs). Could A possibly be the

cause of B? Explain.

b. Event C occurs at spacetime coordinates (2400 m, 8 μs). Could A possibly be the

cause of C? Explain.

Short answer

a. yes

b. no

Step-by-step solution

Given information

Event A spacetime coordinates $=$$(300m,2\mu s)$

Event B spacetime coordinates $=(1200m,6\mu s)$

Event C spacetime coordinates $=(2400m,8\mu s)$
