Consider a muon traveling at 0.950 c relative to a stationary observer. If the observer observes the muon for 0.300 s, how much time has passed in the muon's frame of reference?
Consider a muon travelling at 0.950 c relative to a stationary observer. If the observer observes the muon travel 1.50 m, how far did the muon travel in the muon's frame of reference?

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.) Please answer B A) How many kilometers does the muon travel according to an Earth-bound observer? 0.503 is the answer to A B) How many kilometers of the Earth pass...

Suppose a muon produced as a result of a cosmic ray colliding with a nucleus in the upper atmosphere has a velocity v = 0.950c. Suppose it travels at constant velocity and lives 2.20 ps as measured by an observer who moves with it (this is the time on the muon's internal clock). It can be shown that it lives for 4.87 us as measured by an Earth-bound observer. (a) How long (in us) would the muon have lived as...

Objects traveling at relativistic speeds will appear to a stationary observer as shorter, as- suming that it is parallel to the direction of its motion. Using the equation for Lorentz contraction, find the following, where c is the speed of light: a) A spaceship is traveling with a velocity 0.8c. If it is 200m long in its rest frame (when the object is not moving), how long do you observe it to be? Assume that you can see the entire...

An observer in an inertial reference frame S sees lightning strike simultaneously at two points that are 870 nm apart. He measures that the location of the first lightning strike is given by the four coordinates x1 0 m, y1 0 m, z1 0 m, and t0 s. He measures that the location of the second lightning strike is given by the four coordinates X2 = 870 m, y2 = 0 m, z2 0...

An object, with mass 93 kg and speed 23 m/s relative to an observer, explodes into two pieces, one 3 times as massive as the other; the explosion takes place in deep space. The less massive piece stops relative to the observer. How much kinetic energy is added to the system during the explosion, as measured in the observer's reference frame
