The positive muon (μ+), an unstable particle, lives on average 2.20 × 10-6 s (measured in its own frame of reference) before decaying. (a) If such a particle is moving, with respect to the laboratory, with a speed of 0.900c, what average lifetime is measured in the laboratory? (b) What average distance, measured in the laboratory, does the particle move before decaying?
