(a) 0.3 c (b) 0.5 c (c) 0.8c (d) 0.6 c 33. Muons are particles that live for 2.2 microseconds. One microsecond is one-millionth of a second. If muons are moving at 0.995 c they can travel------ decaying ---meters on earth before distance = speedx (a) 660 m (b 6,600 m (c) 66,000 m (d) 660,000 m time 34. Muons are responsible for the (a) mutation rate (b) birth rate (c) decay of pions (d) decay of neutrinos 35. A clock moves at 2/3 of the speed of light with respect to you. When 1 hour passes on your clock, how much time would have passed according to the moving clock? (a) 5.50 hours (b) 1.30 hours (c) 0.20 hours (d) 0.75 hours 36. Battlestar Galactica is flying overhead with a speed of 0.6 c (where c is the speed of light). To an observer on earth the Battlestar appears to be launching Colonial Vipers at the rate of one every 2 seconds. To the Commander of the Battlestar the Vipers are being launched at the rate of one every (a) 2.5 sec (b) 3.5 s (c)4 sec (d)5.5 sec
