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 the lab frame, include an arrow to indicate its direction of motion on your sketch.

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.)

A lab worker is watching a bunch of particles zing through her particle accelerator. She observes one particle that's moving at 61% of the speed of light for its whole life, and she sees that it travels a certain distance before decaying. How fast would a second particle need to be traveling for its entire life if the lab worker is to see this second particle travel twice as far as the first? Assume all particles in this problem would...

A muon is an elementary particle that resembles a heavy electron. It has a rest mass of 105.7 MeV/c2 compared to the electron rest mass of 0.511 MeV/c2. In frame, S, the muon has a velocity of   0.85 c ms?1 . In frame, S', the muon is found to have a velocity of     0.65 c ms?1 . The muon velocity vectors in either frame and the velocity of relative motion of frame S and S' are all parallel to the...

A particle with a mass m = 2.00 kg is moving along the x axis under the influence of the potential energy function U(x) = (2.00 J/m2)x2 − 32.0 J. If the particle is released from rest at the position x = 6.40 m, determine the following. (The sign is important. Be sure not to round intermediate calculations.) (a) total mechanical energy of the particle at any position: =_____ J. (b) potential energy of the particle at the position x...
