Protons in cosmic rays strike the Earth’s upper atmosphere at an average rate of 1200 protons per square meter per second. What total is the current (in Coulombs per second, or Amperes) does the Earth receive from these cosmic rays? (For the radius of the Earth, use R^E = 6.38 x 10^6 meters.)

Earth's atmosphere is constantly bombarded by cosmic ray protons that originate somewhere in space. If the protons all passed through the atmosphere, each square meter of Earth's surface would intercept protons at the average rate of 1800 protons per second. What would be the electric current in amperes intercepted by a 14 x 107 km2 area on the planet?

Muons are formed high in the atmosphere by the interaction of cosmic rays with atomic nuclei in the upper atmosphere. They have an average lifetime of about two millionth of a second and according to classical physics should decay before reaching the sea level. However, measurements show a large number of muons reach the Earth’s surface. Give an explanation how this is possible with respect to the earth and muon’s reference frames using ideas of time dilation and length contraction.

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...

surface to 20 km, the earth’s radius is 6,200 km, and the
atmosphere is partitioned into cells spaced 0.5 km apart, how many
floating‐point calculations will be required to run one iteration
of a global weather simulation, assuming that each cell requires
200 floating‐point operations? If it requires 20 cycles
