1) Subatomic particles called muons can be created in the upper atmosphere by collisions of cosmic rays (energetic particles coming from astrophysical sources). As we shall see in a few lectures, muons quickly decay (in 2.2 microseconds on average) into other particles. Consider a muon that was created at a height the same as the top of a nearby mountain, traveled straight down towards the Earth through the atmosphere at 0.9 times the speed of light, and then decayed at a point the same height as that of a tree it reaches, after exactly 2.2 microseconds in the muon frame.
A) Which direction is the tree moving in the muon rest frame?
A. Up
B. Down
C. Left
D. Right
E. None of above
B) How far in meters did the muon travel in the muon’s rest frame?
C) How far in meters did the tree travel in the muon’s rest frame?
D) What is the distance in meters from the top of the mountain to the tree in the muon’s rest frame?
E) How fast in meters per second is the muon moving in the rest frame of someone standing on the mountain?
F) In which direction is the muon moving in the rest frame of someone standing on the mountain?
A. Up
B. Down
C. Left
D. Right
E. None of above

Use the empirical rule. the mean speed of a sample of vehicles along a stretch of highway is 70 miles per hour, with a standard deviation of 4 miles per hour. estimate the percent of vehicles whose speeds are between 66 miles per hour and 74 miles per hour. (assume the data set has a bell-shaped distribution.)
