- special relativity As a result of the collisions of cosmic rays with atoms in the upper atmosphere, muon particles are produced kilometers above the Earth's surface. The muon is an unstable particle with a half-life of 1.5 µs. In an experiment, a measurement is made with a muon detector in a balloon 2000 m above the ground, and 650 muons are observed in 1 hour, each of which has a speed of 0.99c in the direction of the Earth. How many of these muons are observed in 1 hour at sea level? (Use No/2^n muons left at the end of the half-life from the No number of muons at the beginning. )Electromagnetic radiation from a star is observed with an earth-based telescope.

Newly sprouted sunflowers can grow at a rate of 0.75 cm per day. One sunflower is left on Earth, and another one is placed on a spacecraft traveling away from Earth at a speed of 0.94c. How tall is the sunflower on the spacecraft (as measure by someone on the spacecraft) when a person on Earth says theirs is 4.5 cm tall? How tall is the sunflower on the spacecraft (as measured by the person on Earth)? (Note: The direction of sunflower growth is the same as the direction that the spaceship is moving)
