- Chapter 37, Problem 045 In a high-energy collision between a cosmic-ray particle and a particle near the top of Earth's atmosphere, 110 km above sea level, a pion is created.The pion has a total energy E of 1.68 x 105 MeV and is traveling vertically downward. In the pion's rest frame, the pion decays 35.0 ns after its creation. At what altitude above sea level, as measured from Earth's reference frame, does the decay occur? The rest energy of a pion is 139.6 MeV. Number Units3.4. Cosmic ray muons are produced high in the atmosphere (at 8000 m, say) and travel toward the earth at very nearly the speed of light (0.998 c, say). (a) Given the lifetime of the muon (2.2 x 10-6 sec), how far would it go before disintegrating, according to prerelativistic physics? Would the muons make it to ground level? (b) Now answer the same question using relativistic physics. (Because of time di- lation, the muons last longer, so they travel farther.) (c) Now analyze the same process from the perspective of the muon. (In its reference frame it only lasts 2.2 x 10-6 sec; how, then, does it make it to ground?) + (d) Pions are also produced in the upper atmosphere. [In fact, the sequence is proton (from outer space) hits proton (in atmosphere) → p + p + pions. The pions then decay into muons: ¯ → μ¯ + D µ; πt → μ† + vµ.] But the lifetime of the pion is much shorter, a hundredth that of the muon. Should the pions reach ground level? (Assume that the pions also have a speed of…Consider the process of escaping from the solar system starting from the surface of Earth. Assume there are no other bodies involved.

(We measure the distance between the Earth and the Sun to be 1.496 x 1011 m.) An observer standing on the Earth measures that the spaceship is approaching at 0.800c. The Earth-based observer also measures that it takes the spaceship 625 seconds to travel from the sun to Earth.
