28.2 Exercise 9

Avg difficulty 2.5

A neutral π\pi-meson is a particle that can be created by accelerator beams. If one such particle lives 1.40×10−16s1 . \text{40} \times \text{10}^{- \text{16}} \text{s} as measured in the laboratory, and 0.840×10−16s0 . \text{840} \times \text{10}^{- \text{16}} \text{s} when at rest relative to an observer, what is its velocity relative to the laboratory?
