High-energy cosmic rays interact with atoms in the earth's upper atmosphere about 10.0km above the Earth's surface, producing unstable muons. A muon decays to an electron with a mean lifetime of 2.20us as measured in a frame of reference in which it is rest. A muon travels straight down toward the surface of the Earth with the speed of 0.990c relative to the Earth. Calculate the distance for the muon to travel. The speed of light is 3.00x108m/s.
