Time Dilation: an Unstable Particle Is Moving at a Speed

question 14

Short Answer

Time dilation: An unstable particle is moving at a speed of 2.6 × 10⁸ m/s relative to a laboratory. Its lifetime is measured by a stationary observer in the laboratory to be 4.7 × 10^-6 seconds. What is the lifetime of the particle, measured in the rest frame of the particle? (c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)
