Problem

Two events in frame SS are such that Δx=x2−x1=1200 m\Delta x = x_2 - x_1 = 1200 \text{ m} and Δt=t2−t1=6.00 μs\Delta t = t_2 - t_1 = 6.00 \text{ } \mu\text{s} . (1) Frame S′S' moves with velocity 0.600c0.600c relative to SS . Calculate Δx′=x2′−x1′\Delta x' = x'_2 - x'_1 and Δt′=t2′−t1′\Delta t' = t'_2 - t'_1 . (2) Determine if there is another frame S′′S'' such that in this frame Δt′′=0\Delta t'' = 0 . Comment on your answer.
