A stick of length L moves past you, parallel to its length, at speed v. Let your frame be S, and the stick's frame be S'. Call the event when the front of the stick passes you Event A, and the event when the back of the stick passes you Event B.

Draw the Minkowski diagram to scale, including both frames, and putting in both events.

A stick is resting on a concrete step with 2 5 of its total length L hanging over the edge. A single ladybug lands on the end of the stick hanging over the edge, and the stick begins to tip. A moment later, a second, identical ladybug lands on the other end of the stick, which results in the stick coming momentarily to rest at θ = 62.1 ∘ with respect to the horizontal. If the mass of each bug...
