An Unstable Particle Is Moving at a Speed Of 1.6×108 m/s1.6 \times 10 ^ { 8 } \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }

Question 61

Short Answer

An unstable particle is moving at a speed of 1.6×108 m/s1.6 \times 10 ^ { 8 } \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } relative to a laboratory. Its lifetime is measured by a stationary observer in the laboratory to be 6.8×106 s6.8 \times 10 ^ { - 6 } \mathrm {~s} . What is the lifetime of the particle as measured in the rest frame of the particle? (c=3.0×108 m/s)\left( c = 3.0 \times 10 ^ { 8 } \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } \right)
