In class, we calculated the speed necessary for a neutron to travel from Sun to Earth (150 million km) in one neutron half-life (614 s) and we obtained = 0.631. Note that is is slower than you might expect due to time dilation. In this question, I want you to calculate the speed () necessary for a neutron to travel from Sun to Mars (227.9 million km) in the same time.
