1/(1-v2/c2)1/2 =
1/(1-0.82)1/2 = 5/3
b) T1/2 (proper) = 1.8E-8 s
T1/2 (lab) = T1/2
(proper) = 5/3 *1.8E-8 s = 3.0E-8 s
c) time to travel 36 m in lab frame:
length in meson frame 36*3/5 = 21.6 m
time of travel = 21.6/ 0.8c = 9.0 E-8 s
number mesons remaining after = 32000*exp(-0.693*9.0/1.8)
= 1000
if we do not consider time dilation or length contraction then
time of travel = 36/0.8c = 15.0E-8 s
number of mesons = 32000*exp(-0.693*15.0/1.8)
= 99

The average lifetime of mu-mesons with a speed of 0.95c is measured to be 6 times 10^-6 s. Compute the average lifetime of mu-mesons in a system in which they are at rest. Pions have a half-life of 1.8 times 10^-8 s. A pion beam leaves a particle accelerator at a speed of 0.8c. What is the expected distance over which half of the pions should decay classically? Relativistically? Rocket A travels to the right and rocket B travels to...
