Suppose you are designing a proton decay experiment and you can detect 50 percent of the proton decays in a tank of water.If the actual lifetime is 1033 y , how long would you have to wait on an average to see a single proton decay?
A particle has γ=15,687. Calculate c-v in m/s. (I would have asked for 1 - v/c, making the answer dimensionless, but the system doesn't seem to take numbers that small. Gamma is chosen to make the particle extremely close to the speed of light.)
If your calculator gives problems, you might want to solve the appropriate equation for c-v or c(1 - v/c) and use an approximation.

Suppose the LHC accelerates alpha particles (a.k.a. helium nuclei with a charge of +2e and a mass of 6.645 x 10-27 kg) with a kinetic energy of 7.5 TeV*, what would the speed of one particle be if relativistic effects** are ignored?
