Lengths contract when moving. so the particle should be the shorter distance. So part a is the given part of the question. Ok parts a and b make

Distance should be greater for L0 because (gamma) is going to always be greater than 1. Right? It should be shorter in the lab frame compared to particle frame.

Homework Statement An unstable high-energy particle is created in the laboratory, and it moves at a speed of 0.978c. Relative to a stationary reference frame fixed to the laboratory, the particle travels a distance of 1.38x10-3 m before disintegrating. (a) What is the proper distance...
