A muon is created 65 km above the surface of the earth. In the earth's frame, the muon is traveling directly downward at 0.9999c.
Part A In the earth's frame of reference, how much time elapses between the muon's creation and the time it reaches the surface?
Part B
Use time dilation to determine, in the muon's frame, how much time elapses between the muon's creation and the time it reaches the surface.
Part C
In the muon's frame of reference, length contraction reduces the distance between the point at which it is created and the surface of the earth. What is this distance?
