Hypothetical person who is riding along with the pion

Reference no: EM13671836

A particle known as a pion lives for a short time before breaking apart into other particles. Suppose it is moving at a speed of 0.994c, and an observer who is stationary in a laboratory gauges the particle's lifetime to be 5.00*10^-8 s.

a) What is the lifetime according to a hypothetical person who is riding along with the pion?

b) According to this hypothetical person, how far does the laboratory move before the pion breaks apart?
