A beam of unstable K mesons, traveling at a speed of 32c, passes through two counters 9.00 m apart. The particles suffer a negligible loss of speed and energy in passing through the counters but give electrical pulses that can be counted. It is observed that 1000 counts are recorded in the first counter and 250 in the second. Assuming that this whole decrease is due to the decay of the particles in flight, what is their half-life as measured in their own rest system?

Aspring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. the spring has a constant k = 30 kn/m and is held by cables so that it is initially compressed 50 mm. knowing that the velocity of the package is 2 m/s when it is 8 m from the spring and neglecting friction, determine the maximum additional deformation of the spring in bringing the package to rest.
