A rocket travels in the x-direction at speed 0.7 with respect tothe earth. An experimenter on the rocket observes a collisionbetween two comets and determines that the spacetime coordinates ofthe collision are (x',t') = (2.7x10^10,160).
What is the spacetime coordinate of the collision in earth'sreference frame?
Express your answer using two significant figures.
So I'm not sure if I've calculated it wrong, I tried a few times,and got 1.44Ã10^4, -2.94Ã10^10, and -9.24Ã10^9. They were allwrong. There's another part to the question asking for the time inthe reference frame, but once I find out what I did wrong here, Ican work it out myself.
