<span>Ans : Initial E = KE = ½mv² = ½ * 1.2kg * (2.2m/s)² = 2.9 J max spring compression where both velocities are the same: conserve momentum: 1.2kg * 2.2m/s = (1.2 + 3.2)kg * v → v = 0.6 m/s which means the combined KE = ½ * (1.2 + 3.2)kg * (0.6m/s)² = 0.79 J The remaining energy went into the spring: U = (2.9 - 0.79) J = 2.1 J = ½kx² = ½ * 554N/m * x² x = 0.0076 m ↠(a)</span>

Answer:

19.2*10^6 s

Explanation:

The equation for time dilation is:

t = \frac{t'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}

Then, if it is observed to have a life of 6*10^6 s, and it travels at 0.95 c:

t = \frac{6*10^6}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.95c)^2}{c^2}}} = 19.2*10^6 s

It has a lifetime of 19.2*10^6 s when observed from a frame of reference in which the particle is at rest.
