Subatomic particles called pions are created when protons, accelerated to speeds very near c in a particle accelerator, smash into the nucleus of a target atom. Charged pions are unstable particles that decay into muons with a half-life of 1.8 x 10-8 s. Pions have been investigated for use in cancer treatment because they pass through tissue doing minimal damage until they decay, releasing significant energy at that point. The speed of the pions can be adjusted so that the most likely place for the decay is in a tumor.Suppose pions are created in an accelerator, then directed into a medical bay 30 m away. The pions travel at the very high speed of 0.99995c. Without time dilation, half of the pions would have decayed after traveling only 5.4 m, not far enough to make it to the medical bay. Time dilation allows them to survive long enough to reach the medical bay, enter tissue, slow down, and then decay where they are needed, in a tumor. What is the half-life of a pion in the reference…

Consider the equation for kinetic energy: KE = 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 * m * v^2. If I ask you to take the derivative of kinetic energy, you should ask "the derivative with respect to what?" a) Suppose mass m is constant. Compute the derivative of KE with respect to v, (d(KE)/dv). b) Who takes derivatives with respect to velocity? No one. Except you, just now. Sorry. The rate of change of energy with respect to time is more important: it is the Power. Now, consider velocity v to be a function of time, v(t). We will rewrite KE showing this time dependance: KE= 1/2 * m * v(t)^2. Show that (d(KE)/dt) = F(t)v(t). Hint: use Newton's second law, F = ma, to simplify. c) In the computation above, we assumed m was constant, and v was changing in time. Think of a physical situation in which both m and v are varying in time. d) Compute the Power when both mass and velocity are changing in time. (First rewrite KE(t) showing time dependence, then compute (d(KE)/dt).
