Two bombs lie on a train platform, a distance L apart. As a trainpasses by at speed v, the bombs explode simultaneously (in theplatform frame) and leave marks on the train. Due to the lengthcontraction of the train, we know that the marks on the train willbe a distance gamma*L apart when viewed in the train's frame (sincethis distance is what is length-contracted down to the givendistance L in the platform frame).

How would someone on the train quantitatively explain to you whythe marks are gamma*L apart, considering the bombs are only adistance L/gamma apart in the train frame?

Two trains A and B are running in the same direction on parallel tracks such that A is faster than B. If packets of equal weight are exchanged between the two, then

A commuter train travels between two downtown stations. Because the stations are only 1 km apart, the train never reaches its maximum possible cruising speed. During rush hour the engineer minimizes the travel interval Δt between the two stations by accelerating for a time interval Δt1 at a1 = 0.100 m/s2 and then immediately breaking with acceleration a2 = -0.5 m/s2 for a time interval Δt2. Find the time intervals Δt1 and Δt2.
