An unstable high-energy particle is created in the laboratory and it move at a speed of 0.962c. Relative to a stationary reference frame fixed to the laboratory and the particle travels a distance of 1.01 x10-3 meter before disintegrating.
(a) Determine the proper distance traveled?
m
(b) Find the distance measured by a hypothetical man traveling with the particle?
m
(c) Calculate the proper lifetime?
s
(d) Calculate the dilated lifetime?
s
