A particle known as a pion lives for a short time before
breaking apart into other particles. Suppose a pion is moving at a
speed of 0.993c, and an observer who is stationary in
a laboratory measures the pion's lifetime to be 3.2 ×
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?
