A muon with rest energy 106 MeV is created at an altitude of $4500 \mathrm{m}$ and travels downward toward Earth's surface. An observer on Earth measures its speed as $0.980 c .$ (a) What is the muon's total energy in the Earth observer's frame of reference? (b) What is the muon's total energy in the muon's frame of reference?

Muon is produced by the cosmic ray-particle interaction in the upper atmosphere and moves with high speed, about 0.998c, relative to an observer on Earth. The rest energy of the Muon is 150.6 MeV as observed by the observer on Earth. Calculate: 1) the total energy of the Muon 2) the mass of the Muon in kilograms
