Question

Our two intrepid relacar drivers are named Pam and Ned. We use these names to make it easy to remember: measurements made by Pam are primed (x', t') and those made by Ned are not primed (x, t). v is the velocity of Pam (the other frame of reference) as measured by Ned. What is the interpretation of v'?

There are 4 possible choices for this answer:

a. The velocity of Pam as measured by Ned.
b. The velocity of Pam as measured by Pam.
c. The velocity of Ned as measured by Ned.
d. The velocity of Ned as measured by Pam.

Answer 1

The velocity of Ned as measured by Pam is the interpretation of v.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

According to question, we know that this is an issue depending on the logical and translation of the factors. From the measured information taken what is gathered by the two people is communicated and we have given as:

The Ned reference framework : (x, t)  

The Pam reference framework :  $\left(x^{\prime}, t^{\prime}\right)$

From the reference framework, we realize that ν is the speed of Pam (the other reference framework) as estimation by Ned.  

At that point, $v^{\prime}$ is the speed of Ned (from the other arrangement of the reference) as estimation by Pam.
