2. (25 pts total) In a scattering experiment, a 7 pion is produced with energy E. Treat the pion mass m, and lifetime 7, as symbolic in this question. (a) [4 pts] What is the magnitude of the spatial momentum of the pion? (b) [4 pts] What is its speed (relative to c)? (c) [4 pts] How far, on average, will the 7+ travel before decaying?(d) [13 pts] The pion strikes a neutron at rest in the laboratory frame. What is the mass of the heaviest (hypothetical) particle that could be produced from this collision
