In a series of experiment the mass of elementary particle is found to be plus minus 20me where me is the mass of electron Find the lifetime of the particle
Added by Arindam P.
Step 1
We are told that the mass of an elementary particle is ±20me, where me is the mass of an electron. This means the mass of the particle is 20 times the mass of an electron. Show more…

According to Table $12.4,$ the rest mass of an electron is $0.511 \mathrm{MeV} / c^{2} .$ What is the rest mass of a positron?
A muon has a rest mass energy of $105.7 \mathrm{MeV},$ and it decays into an electron and a massless particle. (a) If all the lost mass is converted into the electron's kinetic energy, find $\gamma$ for the electron. (b) What is the electron's velocity?
