i don't understand when to use substitution as used in the answer to this question:
how fast must a pion be moving, on average, to travel 10m before it decays? average lifetime is 2.6*10^-8.
i know the answer is D=V( to/ sqroot 1-v^2/c^2) but i don't understand why and how to know when to put the time expansion equation into the D=vt equation.
When would u ever do this again, and why isn't the pion's lifetime= t, b/c its at rest.
