You visit a track location on a high fill that is suspected of being unstable and possibly developing a slip failure. What are some of the outward signs you would look for to indicate if it may be currently unstable, or may have been so in the past? What indication or indications would lead you to believe that the slip is not recent but has been occurring over a long time?

a) Myons are unstable particles that form at high velocity due to cosmic radiation in them top layers of Earth's atmosphere. Explain why we can observe these myons in laboratories on the Earth's surface, despite the longevity of a myon that is at rest is short, and the distance between where the myon forms and where it is observed (and decays) is very big.

A test of a driver’s perception/reaction time is being conducted on a special testing track with wet pavement and a driving speed of 65 mi/h. when the driver is sober, a stop can be made just in time to avoid hitting an object that is first visible 555 ft a head. After a few drinks under the exact same conditions, the driver fails to stop in time and strikes the object at a speed of 35 mi/h. Question - 6...

A muon is a type of unstable subatomic particle. When high-speed particles from outer space (sometimes called "cosmic rays") collide with atoms in the upper atmosphere, they can create muons which travel toward the Earth. Suppose a muon created in the atmosphere travels at a speed of 0.971c toward the Earth's surface for a distance of 4.13 km, as measured by a stationary observer on Earth, before decaying into other particles. (a) As measured by the stationary observer on Earth,...
