If a K⁰ meson at rest decays in 0.90 x 10^-10 s,how far will a K⁰ meson moving at 0.96 c travel through a bubble chamber? (c = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s) A)9.3 cm B)1.1 cm C)53 cm D)42 cm

Question

The correct answer is A.Explanation:The distance traveled by the K0 meson is given by:d = v * twhere v is the speed of the meson and t is the time it travels.We are given that the meson is moving at 0.96 c, and that it travels for 0.90 x 10^-10 s.Therefore, the distance traveled is:d = (0.96 * 3.00 x 10^8 m/s) * (0.90 x 10^-10 s) = 2.69 x 10^-2 m = 2.69 cmTherefore, the correct answer is A.
