EARTH FRAME Here we are at rest alongside the mountain and we observe the muons speeding towards us at a speed of 0.995 c. 5. Calculate the gamma factor for muons, y = 1 *¯¾¼ - # 6. Calculate the time (in us) for half of the 568 muons to decay. 7. Calculate the distance a typical muon travels in 15 µs. 8. Compare your answer to question (7) with the height of the mountain. Use this to appreciate why so many muons survived to sea level.
