3. When at rest an elementary particle has an average lifetime of 2.60*10^-8s. An astrophysics lab monitors the remnants of a supernova explosion and find the average lifetime of these particles to be 1.30*10^-7s.

A particle has γ=9,681. Gamma is chosen to make the particle extremely close to the speed of light. In a race to the moon, by 3/4ths the distance, light is one or ten meters ahead of the particle. We routinely approximate mass as zero, gamma as infinite, and speed as the speed of light. ("Massless particles" -- gamma and m have to be eliminated from the expressions. Light is a true massless particle.) If a massless particle has momentum 1,368 MeV/c, calculate its energy in MeV.
A beam of radioactive particles travels at a speed of 2.5 x 10^8 m/s. The half-life of the particles in the beam is measured to be 1.4μs by an outside observer. Determine the half-life of those particles when they are at rest with respect to the observer. [2 marks] When I performed calculations I considered the time given to be relativistic time as it is measured by an outside observer, however when I look up the answer, they treat the time given as the proper time and not the relatavistic time. Why is that?
