- A car traveling at 35.0 m/s takes 26.0 minutes to travel a certain distance according to the driver’s clock in the car. How long does the trip take according to an observer at rest on Earth? Hint: The following approximation is helpful:The muon is an unstable particle that spontaneously decays into an electron and two neutrinos. In a reference frame in which the muons are stationary, if the number of muons at t = 0 is N0, the number at time t is given by , where τ is the mean lifetime, equal to 2.2 ms. Suppose the muons move at a speed of 0.95 c and there are 5.0 × 104 muons at t = 0. (a) What is the observed lifetime of the muons?
