An inertial frame of reference

S'

moves past another inertial frame

S

moving to the left with speed

25 \text{ m s}^{-1}

. At time zero the origins of the two frames coincide. (1) A phone rings at location

x' = 24 \text{ m}

and

t = 5.0 \text{ s}

. Determine using Galilean transformation equations the location of this event in the

S

frame. (2) A ball is measured to have velocity

-15 \text{ m s}^{-1}

in frame

S

. Calculate the velocity of the ball in frame
