Multiple Choice
Lorentz transformation: System S' has a velocity u = +0.45c relative to system S, as shown in the figure. The clocks of S and S' are synchronized at t = t' = 0 when the origins O and O' coincide. An event is observed in both systems. The event takes place at x = 600 m and at time t = 1.9 μs, as measured by an observer in S. What is the x'-coordinate of the event, measured by an observer in S'?
A) 380 m
B) 340 m
C) 360 m
D) 350 m
E) 310 m
