AI Thread Summary
Time dilation affects the lifespan of mesons, increasing their mean lifetime from 2.6*10(-8) seconds to 5.96*10(-8) seconds when traveling at 0.9c. This results in an average travel distance of 16.092 meters before decay, compared to 7.02 meters without considering time dilation. The discussion highlights the significance of relativistic effects in particle physics. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurate predictions in high-speed particle behavior. Time dilation is thus confirmed as a correct phenomenon in this context.

The proper mean life time of mesons is 2.6*10(-8) . If a beam of such paricles has speed 0.9c, their mean life would be 5.96*10(-8) seconds, they would travel on the average16.092 meters,before they decay, , and if you neglected time dilation that would be 7.02 meters. The interval space time between creation of a typical pion and its decay are 2.6*10(-8 )seconds
so if

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
