A neutral pion has a rest energy of 135 MeV and a mean life of 8.3 x

Question:

A neutral pion has a rest energy of 135 MeV and a mean life of 8.3 x 10-17 s. If it is produced with an initial kinetic energy of 80 MeV and decays after one mean lifetime, what is the longest possible track this particle could leave in a bubble chamber? Use relativistic time dilation.
