Time Dilation: A certain unstable particle has a mean lifetime of 1.52 × 10-6 s. This is the time interval between its creation in a nuclear process and its extinction into decay products, as measured in a frame of reference at rest with respect to the particle. An average such particle is observed by a scientist on Earth to travel 342 m in its lifetime. What is the speed of the particle relative to Earth? (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s)
