A new particle, the joelon, has just been discovered! Careful measurements show that the joelon has an average lifetime (at rest) of 76 ns. How fast must an average joelon be moving to travel 15 m (as viewed from the lab frame) before it decays?

A particle X at rest is a cube of rest-mass m and side L and has a proper lifetime τ. If the particle is moving with speed √3c/2 with respect to the lab frame (c is the speed of light): Determine a) The total energy of the particle in the lab frame. b) The average distance the particle travels in the lab before decaying. c) Sketch the shape and dimensions of the particle when viewed perpendicular to its motion in...

A pion is an unstable particle which decays into a muon (which is also unstable and further decays into an electron). The pion’s average lifetime when it is at rest is 26 ns. If the pion moves with a speed of 0.9819 c, what is (a) its average lifetime (ns) as measured by an observer on Earth and (b) the average distance (m) it travels before decaying as measured by an observer on Earth? (c) What average distance (m) would...

After being created in a high-energy particle accelerator, a pi meson at rest has an average lifetime of 2.60 10-8 s. Traveling at a speed very close to the speed of light, a pi meson travels a distance of 148 m before decaying. How fast is it moving? (Enter your answer to four significant figures.)

One of the many fundamental particles in nature is the muon mu. This particle acts very much like a "heavy electron." It has a mass of 106 MeV/c^2, compared to the electron's mass of just 0.511 MeV/c^2. (We are using E = mc^2 to obtain the mass in units of energy and the speed of light c). Unlike the electron, though, the muon has a finite lifetime, after which it decays into an electron and two very light particles called...

A new extrasolar planet (outside our solar system) has been discovered. This planet orbits a star of mass 1.05×1031 kg with a period of 6.52 years . It is also known that the planet has an eccentricity of 0.674. Part A: What is the average velocity of the planet in its orbit? in m/s Part B: What is the distance of closest approach to its parent start (perihelion)? d.perihelion in m Part C: What is the farthest distance the planet...

This assignment is about energy. But one of the new things we’ve just learned about is spring forces, so there should be a question about them. So some parts of this question are not about energy. One of the hard things is deciding whether you should use energy methods or not in each part. I’ll give you some help with making this decision by getting you to think about whether the system is energetically isolated. Consider a setup similar to...

See experiment info below The NaOH used in this lab should have been 0.1M, since you were to make it as such (see Step 15 in lab document). Compare your standardized average molarity of NaOH in this lab to 0.1M. How do the values compare? How close was your NaOH dilution to actually being 0.1M NaOH? Calculate your percent error against the average standardized value from this lab. (You must show all work to receive credit.) step 15- Prepare an...
