which is

3 473 cm.

1.3. IDENTIFY: We know the speed of light in m/s. t = d / v. Convert 1.00 ft to m and t from s to ns.

S ET UP: The speed of light is

cm 1000 g 1 m m

× ⎜ ⎟ × ⎜ ⎟= ×

EVALUATE: The ratio that converts cm to m is cubed, because we need to convert

3

3

1 cm is less than

3

EVALUATE: The conversion

7

1 y = 3.156 × 10 sassumes 1 y = 365.24 d, which is the average for one extra day

every four years, in leap years. The problem says instead to assume a 365-day year.

1.8. IDENTIFY: Apply the given conversion factors.

S ET UP: 1 furlong = 0.1250 mi and 1 fortnight = 14 days.1 day =24 h.

EXECUTE: ( )

0.125 mi 1 fortnight 1 day

180,000 furlongs fortnight 67 mi/h

1 furlong 14 days 24 h

⎝ ⎠⎝ ⎠⎝^ ⎠

EVALUATE: A furlong is less than a mile and a fortnight is many hours, so the speed limit in mph is a much

smaller number.

1.9. IDENTIFY: Convert miles/gallon to km/L.

S ET UP: 1 mi = 1.609 km. 1 gallon =3.788 L.

EXECUTE: (a)

1.609 km 1 gallon

55.0 miles/gallon (55.0 miles/gallon) 23.4 km/L

EVALUATE: 1 mi/gal = 0.425 km/L. A km is very roughly half a mile and there are roughly 4 liters in a gallon,

so

2

1 mi/gal ∼ 4 km/L, which is roughly our result.

1.10. IDENTIFY: Convert units.

S ET UP: Use the unit conversions given in the problem. Also, 100 cm = 1 mand 1000 g = 1 kg.

32 ft/s = 9.8 m/sis

accurate to only two significant figures.

1.11. IDENTIFY: We know the density and mass; thus we can find the volume using the relation

density = mass/volume = m V /. The radius is then found from the volume equation for a sphere and the result for

the volume.

S ET UP:

EVALUATE: The density is very large, so the 130 pound sphere is small in size.

1.12. IDENTIFY: Use your calculator to display

7

π × 10. Compare that number to the number of seconds in a year.

S ET UP: 1 yr = 365.24 days, 1 day = 24 h,and 1 h =3600 s.

π × 10 s = 3.14159... × 10 s

The approximate expression is accurate to two significant figures.

EVALUATE: The close agreement is a numerical accident.

1.13. IDENTIFY: The percent error is the error divided by the quantity.

S ET UP: The distance from Berlin to Paris is given to the nearest 10 km.

EXECUTE: (a)

3 3

10 m

890 10 m

×

(b) Since the distance was given as 890 km, the total distance should be 890,000 meters. We know the total

distance to only three significant figures.

EVALUATE: In this case a very small percentage error has disastrous consequences.

1.14. IDENTIFY: When numbers are multiplied or divided, the number of significant figures in the result can be no

greater than in the factor with the fewest significant figures. When we add or subtract numbers it is the location of

the decimal that matters.

1-4 Chapter 1

(d) 200 mm = 0.200 m = 7.9 inches. This is much too short.

(e)

. This is the age of a teenager; a middle-aged man is much older than this.

EVALUATE: None are plausible. When specifying the value of a measured quantity it is essential to give the units

in which it is being expressed.

1.20. IDENTIFY: The number of kernels can be calculated as N = V bottle (^) / V kernel.

S ET UP: Based on an Internet search, Iowan corn farmers use a sieve having a hole size of 0.3125 in. ≅ 8 mm to

remove kernel fragments. Therefore estimate the average kernel length as 10 mm, the width as 6 mm and the depth

as 3 mm. We must also apply the conversion factors

3 1 L = 1000 cm and 1 cm =10 mm.

EXECUTE: The volume of the kernel is: (^ )(^ )(^ )^

3 kernel V = 10 mm 6 mm 3 mm = 180 mm. The bottleís volume is:

( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) 3 3 3 6 3 bottle V = 2.0 L ⎡^ 1000 cm 1.0 L ⎤⎡^ 10 mm 1.0 cm ⎤= 2.0 × 10 mm ⎣ ⎦ ⎣ ⎦

. The number of kernels is then

( ) ( ) 6 3 3 kernels bottle kernels N = V / V ≈ 2.0 × 10 mm 180 mm = 11,000 kernels.

EVALUATE: This estimate is highly dependent upon your estimate of the kernel dimensions. And since these

dimensions vary amongst the different available types of corn, acceptable answers could range from 6,500 to

20,000.

1.21. IDENTIFY: Estimate the number of pages and the number of words per page.

S ET UP: Assuming the two-volume edition, there are approximately a thousand pages, and each page has

between 500 and a thousand words (counting captions and the smaller print, such as the end-of-chapter exercises

and problems).

EXECUTE: An estimate for the number of words is about

6

EVALUATE: We can expect that this estimate is accurate to within a factor of 10.

1.22. IDENTIFY: Approximate the number of breaths per minute. Convert minutes to years and

3 cm to

3 m to find the

volume in

3 m breathed in a year.

EVALUATE: Our estimate assumes that each

3 cm of air is breathed in only once, where in reality not all the

oxygen is absorbed from the air in each breath. Therefore, a somewhat smaller volume would actually be

required.

1.23. IDENTIFY: Estimate the number of blinks per minute. Convert minutes to years. Estimate the typical lifetime in

years.

S ET UP: Estimate that we blink 10 times per minute. 1 y = 365 days. 1 day = 24 h, 1 h = 60 min. Use 80 years

for the lifetime.

EXECUTE: The number of blinks is

EVALUATE: Our estimate of the number of blinks per minute can be off by a factor of two but our calculation is

surely accurate to a power of 10.

1.24. IDENTIFY: Estimate the number of beats per minute and the duration of a lifetime. The volume of blood pumped

during this interval is then the volume per beat multiplied by the total beats.

S ET UP: An average middle-aged (40 year-old) adult at rest has a heart rate of roughly 75 beats per minute. To

calculate the number of beats in a lifetime, use the current average lifespan of 80 years.

1.25. IDENTIFY: Estimation problem

S ET UP: Estimate that the pile is 18 in. × 18 in. × 5 ft 8 in..Use the density of gold to calculate the mass of gold in

the pile and from this calculate the dollar value.

EXECUTE: The volume of gold in the pile is

3

V = 18 in. × 18 in. × 68 in. = 22,000 in. .Convert to

3 cm :

3 3 3 5 3

V = 22,000 in. (1000 cm / 61.02 in. ) = 3.6 × 10 cm.

The density of gold is

3 19.3 g/cm , so the mass of this volume of gold is

3 5 3 6

m = (19.3 g/cm )(3.6 × 10 cm ) = 7 × 10 g.

The monetary value of one gram is $10, so the gold has a value of

6 7 ($10 / gram)(7 × 10 grams) = $7 ×10 , or about

6 $100 × 10 (one hundred million dollars).

EVALUATE: This is quite a large pile of gold, so such a large monetary value is reasonable.

1.26. IDENTIFY: Estimate the diameter of a drop and from that calculate the volume of a drop, in

3 m. Convert

3 m to L.

S ET UP: Estimate the diameter of a drop to be d = 2 mm. The volume of a spherical drop is

4 3 1 3 3 6

EVALUATE: Since

3

V ∼ d , if our estimate of the diameter of a drop is off by a factor of 2 then our estimate of the

number of drops is off by a factor of 8.

1.27. IDENTIFY: Estimate the number of students and the average number of pizzas eaten by each student in a school year.

SET UP: Assume a school of thousand students, each of whom averages ten pizzas a year (perhaps an underestimate)

EXECUTE: They eat a total of 10

4 pizzas.

EVALUATE: The same answer applies to a school of 250 students averaging 40 pizzas a year each.

1.28. IDENTIFY: The number of bills is the distance to the moon divided by the thickness of one bill.

S ET UP: Estimate the thickness of a dollar bills by measuring a short stack, say ten, and dividing the

measurement by the total number of bills. I obtain a thickness of roughly 1 mm. From Appendix F, the distance

from the earth to the moon is

8 3.8 × 10 m.

EVALUATE: This answer represents 4 trillion dollars! The cost of a single space shuttle mission in 2005 is

significantly less ñ roughly 1 billion dollars.

1.29. IDENTIFY: The cost would equal the number of dollar bills required; the surface area of the U.S. divided by the

surface area of a single dollar bill.

S ET UP: By drawing a rectangle on a map of the U.S., the approximate area is 2600 mi by 1300 mi or

2 mi. This estimate is within 10 percent of the actual area, 3,794,

2 mi. The population is roughly 8 3.0 × 10 while the area of a dollar bill, as measured with a ruler, is approximately

14 8 6 Cost per person = (9 × 10 dollars) /(3.0 × 10 persons) = 3 ×10 dollars/person

EVALUATE: The actual cost would be somewhat larger, because the land isnít flat.

1.30. IDENTIFY: The displacements must be added as vectors and the magnitude of the sum depends on the relative

orientation of the two displacements.

S ET UP: The sum with the largest magnitude is when the two displacements are parallel and the sum with the

smallest magnitude is when the two displacements are antiparallel.

EXECUTE: The orientations of the displacements that give the desired sum are shown in Figure 1.30.

EVALUATE: The orientations of the two displacements can be chosen such that the sum has any value between

0.6 m and 4.2 m.

horizontal and vertical components.

EXECUTE: (a) Figure 1.34 gives components 4.7 m, 8.1 m.

(b) Figure 1.34 gives components −15.6 km, 15.6 km.

(c) Figure 1.34 gives components 3.82 cm, − 5.07 cm.

EVALUATE: The signs of the components depend on the quadrant in which the vector lies.

and C

be the three displacements that are given and let D

be the fourth unmeasured displacement.

Then the resultant displacement is R = A + B + C + D.

And since she ends up back where she started, R =0.

0 = A + B + C + D ,
