Question: iii. The top quark with initial speed 0 . 9 0 0 0 c has a half - life of a miniscule 5 . 0

iii. The top quark with initial speed 0.9000 c has a half-life of a miniscule 5.01025s in its own rest frame. (a) Suppose there are 1000 such top quarks flying in a tight conformation. After what time within their own rest frame would there be 125 top quarks remaining undecayed? (b) After what time within the lab frame would there be 125 top quarks remaining undecayed?
iv. A top quark with a mass mt=184.4mp, where mp=1.67210-27kg is the proton mass, is moving to the right at speed 0.9000 c. After colliding with another particle, it is now moving to the right at speed 0.9500 c . Find the relativistic change in momentum and compare to the classical change in momentum.
iii. The top quark with initial speed 0 . 9 0 0 0
