the origins of the two frames coincide at `t=t'=0` and the relative speed is 0.980c. Two micrometeorites collide at coordinates x = 100 km and t = 200 `mu`s according to an observer in frame S. What are the (a) spatial and (b) temporal coordinate of the collision according to an observer in frame S'?
