A meson when at rest decays 2 μs after it is created. If moving in the laboratory at 0.99c, its lifetime according to laboratory clocks would be:
A. the same B. 0.28 s C. 14 μs D. 4.6 s E. none of these
**with an explanation please!

1) Muons naturally decay with a half-life of 1.52 μs, meaning that if Mo muons are created at t'=0, then vo will survive at time t 1.52 us as measured by their 'internal clock'. The population N actually decays exponentially according to N(t')=Mo exp(-t σ), where σ=2.2,s. Assume that muons are created in a laboratory and accelerated to essentially the speed of light (a wee bit slower, of course!) in a time much shorter than their half-life. The muons then...
An η meson, whose rest energy is 548 MeV, is moving in the Lab frame with a total energy of 685 MeV in the +x-direction. It decays into two photons a) What is the momentum of the n before the decay? b) What is the velocity of the n before the decay? c) Given that one of the photons is detected going in the +x-direction (this is one of many possible scenarios), find its energy and the energy and direction...
The Σ− Particle The Σ− is an exotic particle that has a lifetime (when at rest) of 0.15 ns. Part A How fast would it have to travel in order for its lifetime, as measured by laboratory clocks, to be 0.28 ns ? Express your answer using two significant figures. v = c
Muons are unstable subatomic particles that decay to electrons with a mean lifetime of 2.2 μs . They are produced when cosmic rays bombard the upper atmosphere about 12.4 km above the earth's surface, and they travel very close to the speed of light. The problem we want to address is why we see any of them at the earth's surface. a) What is the greatest distance a muon could travel during its 2.2 μs lifetime? b) According to your...
Second part of part c) please! The bit that asks about the particle travelling 75m in the laboratory before it decays. Determine its lifetime in the lab frame and then in its rest frame. -+160% are s two postulates of Special Relativity 4 marks) b) Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an eleetron moving at a speed of 0.70c. The rest mass of an electron is 9.11 x 10-31 kg. 5 mar c) An elementary particle has a total energy...
Relativistic Length Measurements 4.7. Compute the contraction in length of a train 1/2 mile long when it is traveling at 100 mi/hr. Ans. 5.58 x 10-15 mi = 3.52 x 10-10 in. 4.8. At what speed must an observer move past the earth so that the earth appears like an ellipse whose major axis is six times its minor axis? Ans. 0.986c 49. An observer O' holds a 1.00 m stick at an angle of 30° with respect to the...
Not sure if these are right 2· The e motion of a particle is modelled by the equation s(e) 5+9t-6t2+t3, where s is measured in metres and t is time in seconds. a) When is the particle at rest?

Use Python to solve each problem. 2. A particle moves according to a law of motion s = t 3 − 12t 2 + 24t, t ≥ 0. a) Find the velocity at time t. b) What is the velocity after 1 second? c) When is the particle at rest? d) Sketch the position function on t ∈ [0, 6] to determine when the particle is moving in the positive direction on that interval. e) Find the total distance traveled...
i need only final answer not full solution. send me asap 16. | Two identical cars, #1 g with 20 m/s and #2 moving with 40 m/s, slam on the brakes at the same time [same braking #1 stops after 3 seconds. #2 still moves after 3 sec with how much of its original momentum?
