An observer sitting on a park bench watches a person walking behind a runner. Figure P4.72A is the motion diagram representing what this observer sees. To better reveal the changing distance between runner and walker, five observations (A through E) are shown on five separate lines in Figure P4.72B. To the observer on the bench, both the runner and the walker move to the right, and the gap between them widens. Draw the motion diagram of the runner from the reference frame of the walker. 

a) Suppose that the distance between events A and B is 1200. Theobserver is stationed exactly in the middle, but does not receivethe signals simultaneously. Her detector receives the flash from B2.00 microseconds before the flash from A. Are the eventssimultaneous according to her?
b) Where should she have stood, relative to A, to have received thesignals simultaneously?
c) Is there another observer, moving parallel to her x-axis, whocould observe the two events simultaneously? If not, explain whynot. If so, in which direction should this observer bemoving?
d) Could event B have caused event A?

Jose is looking to the east. Lightning bolt 1 strikes a tree 300 m from him. Lightning bolt 2 strikes a barn 900 m from him in the same direction. Jose sees the tree strike 1.0 microseconds before he sees the barn strike. According to Jose, were the lightning strikes simulataneous? If not, which occured first and what was the time difference between the two?
