Question

Francois is travelling at a speed of 0.95c on a railway car, which Francois has measured as 25 m in length. Soledad, who is located on the ground near the railway tracks, arranges for two small explosions to occur on the ground next to the ends of the railway car. According to Soledad, the two explosions occur simultaneously, and she uses the burn marks on the ground to measure the length of Francois’s railway car. According to Francois, do the two explosions occur simultaneously? If not, then according to Francoise, which explosion occurs first? Include a diagram where necessary.
