The average lifetime of a pimeson in its own frame of reference (l.e., the proper lifetime)...
can someone help me with this ? thanks Tutorial Exercise The average lifetime of a pi meson in its own frame of reference (i.e., the proper lifetime) is 2.6 x 108 s. (a) If the meson moves with a s on Earth? of 0.85c, what is its mean lifetime as measured by an observer (b) What is the average distance it travels before decaying, as measured by an observer on Earth? (c) What distance would it travel if time dilation...
A subatomic particle has a 410 ns lifetime in its own rest frame. If it moves through the lab at 0.980 c, how far does it travel before decaying, as measured in the lab?
5. A particle with a ‘proper’ lifetime (i. e. in its own rest frame) of 885. s is traveling towards earth with a speed of v=0.5 c. a. In its own rest frame, how far this particle travel, in m, during one lifetime (885 s)? b. In the earth’s rest frame, how far does the particle travel in 885 s?
A barn of length 10m in its own rest frame sits on the earth. A 10m proper length rocket attempts to fly through the barn at a speed of 0.8c, but the doors on both ends of the barn close simultaneously trapping it inside. a) What is the length of the rocket measured in the barn reference frame? What is the length of the barn measured in the rocket reference frame? b) How far out of syncronization are the door...
plz help´д` The lifetime of a particular meson at rest is 10-8 second and its mass is 10-25 gram. If its velocity in the laboratory is 2*108 meters per second, how far will it travel in one lifetime, if both distance and lifetime are measured in the laboratory frame?
One of the most impressive experimental confirmations of Time Dilation involves muons. Muons are unstable elementary particles with a lifetime of 2.2 μμs. They are naturally produced in collisions between cosmic radiation and atoms in our upper atmosphere (~3000m above the Earth's surface). A muon travels at 0.98c. In a reference frame that is attached to the moving muon (the muon's reference frame), how far can the muon travel before it decays (recall that v = d/t)? For an observer...
Suppose a cosmic ray colliding with a nucleus in the Earth's upper atmosphere produces a muon that has speed v = 0.74c. The muon then travels at constant speed and lives 1.525 μs as measured in the muon's frame of reference. (You can imagine this as the muon's internal clock.) Please answer B A) How many kilometers does the muon travel according to an Earth-bound observer? 0.503 is the answer to A B) How many kilometers of the Earth pass...
You are an observer in a 100-m long spacecraft traveling from the earth to the moon at 0.8c. (a) What is the proper length of the spacecraft? (b) For a proper time interval of 1 sec., the relativistic time interval for the spacecraft measured from the earth reference frame would be: (c) Time dilation does not apply to all time-dependent physical and biological processes. T/F? (d) What is the relativistic length, DL measured from the reference frame of earth? (e)...
In its own reference frame, the half-life of a muon is 1.52us. Of course, what the muon is measuring is proper time, not necessarily the time that somebody in an inertial frame would say that it took to decay. Suppose we speed up some muons by sending them around and around in a circle. (There are ways to make things go around in circles at high speed by using magnetic fields.) The lifetime of the muons (as measured in the...
A pion is an unstable particle that has a mean lifetime of 2.55 x 10^-8 s. Thi si the time interval between its creation in a nuclear process and its extinction into decay products, as measured in a frame of reference at rest with respect to the pion. An average pion is traveling at 0.230 c relative to Earth. How far does it travel in its lifetime, relative to Earth?
