Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If two observers are moving at different speeds, how would they perceive the timing of two simultaneous events?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider their relative velocities.

Question 2

Using the implications of both postulates, describe a scenario where two observers do not agree on the length and time intervals measured between two events.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look at how one is stationary and one is moving rapidly.
