Light reaching the back of the car immediately sounds siren

Reference no: EM13665141

A 30-m-long rocket train car is travelling from Los Angeles to New York at 0.8c when a light at the center of the car flashes. When the light reaches the front of the car, it immediately rings a bell. Light reaching the back of the car immediately sounds a siren.

1. Are the bell and siren simultaneous events for a bicyclist waiting to cross the tracks? If not, by how much time?

2. Are the bell and siren simultaneous events for a passenger seated in the car? If not, by how much time?
