Answer:

4.82383\times 10^{-6}\ s

1316.90559 m

Explanation:

\Delta T' = Time measured in the laboratory

\Delta T = Time measured in its own frame of reference = 2.2\times 10^{-6}\ s

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

v = 0.91 c

Time dilation is given by

\Delta T'=\dfrac{\Delta T}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T'=\dfrac{2\times 10^{-6}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{0.910^2c^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T'=4.82383\times 10^{-6}\ s

The average lifetime is measured in the laboratory is 4.82383\times 10^{-6}\ s

Distance measured would be

L=v\Delta T'\\\Rightarrow L=0.91\times 3\times 10^8\times 4.82383\times 10^{-6}\\\Rightarrow L=1316.90559\ m

The distance is 1316.90559 m
