1. Consider a frame 8' moving with a velocity 2) along its 03' axis with respect to another frame 8. Also consider the axes of the two frames to be aligned at t = t' = 0 (a) First consider Galilean transformations. Write down the matrix which implements this transformation. (b) Now let us consider Lorentz transformations. Write down the matrix which implements the above Lorentz transformation (also called a Lorentz boost). (c)

Suppose you have a Lorentz boost along a: by a velocity 1295 followed by a boost along y by velocity 'uy. What is the matrix for the successive transformations? Would one have got the same matrix if the order of transformations were reversed? What does this say about Lorentz transformations in general?
