Suppose a cosmic ray colliding with a nucleus in the Earth's upper atmosphere produces a muon that has speed v = 0.94c. The muon then travels at constant speed and lives 1.525 μs as measured in the muon's frame of reference. v = 0.94 c t = 1.525 μs Part (a)  How many kilometers does the muon travel according to an Earth-bound observer?  Part (b)  How many kilometers of the Earth pass by as viewed by an observer moving with the muon? Base your calculation on its speed relative to the Earth and its lifetime (proper time).
