Suppose a cosmic ray colliding with a nucleus in the Earth's upper atmosphere produces a muon that has speed v= 0.83c. The muon then travels at constant speed and lives 1.5 us as measured in the muon's frame of reference. (You can imagine this as the muon's internal clock.)

Suppose a cosmic ray colliding with a nucleus in the Earth's upper atmosphere produces a muon that has speed v = 0.74c. The muon then travels at constant speed and lives 1.525 μs as measured in the muon's frame of reference. (You can imagine this as the muon's internal clock.)

An unstable particle is created in the upper atmosphere from a cosmic ray and travels straight down toward the surface of the earth with a speed of 0.99539 c relative to the earth. A scientist at rest on the earth's surface measures that the particle is created at an altitude of 48.0 km. Part A As measured by the scientist, how much time does it take the particle to travel the 48.0 km to the surface of the earth? IVO...

Muons are particles created about 10 km above Earth's surface when cosmic rays interact with nuclei in atmospheric molecules. If Special Relativity did not exist, these muons which are traveling 99.7% the speed of light, would only go about 0.660 km before decaying (their lifetime is 2.2 microseconds). But Special Relativity does apply in our Universe. How far do the muons travel before decaying (at 99.7% the speed of light and created 10 km above the Earth)? The muon flux...

In a high-energy collision between a cosmic-ray particle and a particle near the top of the Earth's atmosphere, 120 km above sea level, a pion is created. The pion has a total energy E of 1.35 × 105 MeV and is travelling vertically downward. In the pion's rest frame, the pion decays 35.0 ns after its creation. The rest energy of a pion is 139.6 MeV (a) Calculate the speed of the pion and the Lorentz factor. (10 points) (b)...

Earth's atmosphere is constantly bombarded by cosmic ray protons that originate somewhere in space. If the protons all passed through the atmosphere, each square meter of Earth's surface would intercept protons at the average rate of 1800 protons per second. What would be the electric current in amperes intercepted by a 14 x 107 km2 area on the planet?
