    1. Question

    Imagine that you're studying a species of radioactive particles that, when at rest, have a lifetime of 100 microseconds (a microsecond is 10610^{-6} seconds). After that, they disintegrate into other particles. When the particles are fired in a stream past you, you notice that the particles live 3 times as long. How fast are the particles traveling?
