if a particle decays a 5 mirco seconds at rest what speed will it decay at 7 mircoseconds? and how far did it travel according to someone looking at it ( not acually how far did it travel but if someone was looking at it what would they see) Show step by step so that i understand the whole concept like if i was ever given different numbers i want to be able to understand

Suppose a W created in a bubble chamber lives for What distance does it move in this time if it is traveling at 0.900 c? Since this distance is too short to make a track, the presence of the W must be inferred from its decay products. Note that the time is longer than the given W lifetime, which can be due to the statistical nature of decay or time dilation.
How can the lifetime of a particle indicate that its decay is caused by the strong nuclear force? How can a change in strangeness imply which force is responsible for a reaction? What does a change in quark ?avor imply about the force that is responsible?
What length track does a (+ traveling at 0.100 c leave in a bubble chamber if it is created there and lives for (Those moving faster or living longer may escape the detector before decaying.)
Take the ratio of relativistic rest energy, E=mc2, to relativistic momentum, p=mu, and show that in the limit that mass approaches zero, you find E/p=c.
Suppose a Wcreated in a particle detector lives for 5.001025s . What distance does it move in this time if it is traveling at 0.900c? (Note that the time is longer than the given Wlifetime, which can be due to the statistical nature of decay or time dilation.)
(a) A particle and its antiparticle are at rest relative to an observer and annihilate (completely destroying both masses), creating two (rays of equal energy. What is the characteristic (ray energy you would look for if searching for evidence of protonantiproton annihilation? (The fact that such radiation is rarely observed is evidence that here is very little antimatter in the universe.) (b) How does this compare with the 0.511MeV energy associated with electronpositron annihilation?
Massless particles must travel at the speed of light, while others cannot reach this speed. Why are all massless particles stable? If evidence is found that neutrinos spontaneously decay into other particles, would this imply they have mass?
How does relativistic time dilation prohibit neutrino oscillations it they are massless?
Nuclear-powered rockets were researched for some years before safety concerns became paramount. (a) What fraction of a rocket's mass would have to be destroyed to get it into a low Earth orbit, neglecting the decrease in gravity? (Assume an orbital altitude of 250 km, and calculate both the kinetic energy (classical) and the gravitational potential energy needed.) (b) If the ship has a mass of 1.00105 kg (100 tons), what total yield nuclear explosion in tons of TNT is needed?
(a) A panicle and its antiparticle are at rest relative to an observer and annihilate (completely destroying both masses), creating two y rays of equal energy. What is the characteristic y -ray energy you would look for if searching for evidence of proton-antiproton annihilation? (The fact that such radiation is rarely observed is evidence that there is very little antimatter in the universe.) (b) How does this compare with the 0.511-MeV energy associated with electron-positron annihilation?
. In a particular beam of protons, each particle moves with an average speed of 0.8c. Determine the total relativistic energy of each proton in joules and MeVs.
At full energy, protons in the 2.00-km-diameter Fermilab synchrotron travel at nearly the speed of light, since their energy is about 1000 times their rest mass energy, (a) How long does it take for a proton to complete one trip around? (b) How many times per second will it pass through the the get area?
