Derive the Lorentz transformation connecting a frame S (the lab frame) to a frame S′ that moves with respect to S with a velocity in the xy plane. This velocity makes an angle ϕ with the x axis of SS and has speed v. In order to solve this, take the route of two successive Lorentz transformations, one along the x axis followed by one along the y axis.

Proper Length

The theory of special relativity explains the connection between space and time to objects that move in a straight line at a constant speed. The objects move at the speed of light. When an object approaches light speed, its mass is endless and cannot move faster than light. The most crucial postulate of Einstein's special relativity is that the laws of nature do not change in each frame of reference.
