A muon is a type of unstable subatomic particle. When high-speed particles from outer space (sometimes called "cosmic rays") collide with atoms in the upper atmosphere, they can create muons which travel toward the Earth. Suppose a muon created in the atmosphere travels at a speed of 0.921c toward the Earth's surface for a distance of 4.53 km, as measured by a stationary observer on Earth, before decaying into other particles. (a) As measured by the stationary observer on Earth, how much time elapses (in s) between the muon's formation until its decay? .0016 Note that both the given speed of the muon and the given distance it travels is measured with respect to the Earth. How is the time related to speed and distance? Be sure to convert the sneed to meters per seconds
