      In frame, S, the distance x will be contracted to the length x/γ, so that the Galilean transformation for the x coordinate is modified as follows: \[\begin{aligned} x' &= x - vt...In frame, S, the distance x will be contracted to the length x/γ, so that the Galilean transformation for the x coordinate is modified as follows: x=xvt(Galilean)xγ=xvt The y and z coordinates are the same between frames of references, since all of the length contraction will take place in the direction of the relative motion between fram…
