Lorentz Transformation: System S' Has a Velocity U = +0

Question 2

Multiple Choice

Lorentz transformation: System S' has a velocity u = +0.56c 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 = 800 m and at time t = 3.0 μs as measured by an observer in S. What is the time of the event, measured by an observer in S'?
