and Measurement ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Q1.1 Atomic clocks are based
on electromagnetic waves which atoms emit. Also, pulsars are highly
regular astronomical clocks. Q1.2 Density varies with temperature
and pressure. It would be necessary to measure both mass and volume
very accurately in order to use the density of water as a standard.
Q1.3 People have different size hands. Defining the unit precisely
would be cumbersome. Q1.4 (a) 0.3 millimeters (b) 50 microseconds
(c) 7.2 kilograms Q1.5 (b) and (d). You cannot add or subtract
quantities of different dimension. Q1.6 A dimensionally correct
equation need not be true. Example: 1 chimpanzee = 2 chimpanzee is
dimensionally correct. If an equation is not dimensionally correct,
it cannot be correct. Q1.7 If I were a runner, I might walk or run
101 miles per day. Since I am a college professor, I walk about 100
miles per day. I drive about 40 miles per day on workdays and up to
200 miles per day on vacation. Q1.8 On February 7, 2001, I am 55

Section 1.2 Matter and Model-Building P1.1 From the figure, we may
see that the spacing between diagonal planes is half the distance
between diagonally adjacent atoms on a flat plane. This diagonal
distance may be obtained from the Pythagorean theorem, Ldiag = L2 +
L2 . Thus, since the atoms are separated by a distance L = 0.200
nm, the diagonal planes are separated by 1 2 L2 + L2 = 0.141 nm .
Section 1.3 Density and Atomic Mass *P1.2 Modeling the Earth as a
sphere, we find its volume as 4 3 4 3 3 6 37 106 1 08 10 3 21 3 r =

the tabulated densities of aluminum and iron. Typical rocks have
densities around 2 000 to 3 000 kg m3 . The average density of the
Earth is significantly higher, so higher-density material must be
down below the surface. P1.3 With V = abase areafbheightg V = e r 2

4. Chapter 1 3 P1.6 For either sphere the volume is V = r 4 3 3
and the mass is m = V = 4 r 3 3. We divide this equation for the
larger sphere by the same equation for the smaller: m m r r r 4 3 4
3 A = A = A = s s rs 5 3 3 3 3 . Then rA = rs 3 5 = 4.50 cma1.71f =

The mass of any sample is the number of atoms in the sample times
the mass m0 of one atom: m = Nm0 . The first assertion is that the
mass of one aluminum atom is m0 = 27.0 u = 27.0 u 1.66 1027 kg 1 u
= 4.48 1026 kg . Then the mass of 6.02 1023 atoms is m = Nm = = = 0
6.02 1023 4.48 10 26 kg 0.027 0 kg 27.0 g . Thus the first
assertion implies the second. Reasoning in reverse, the second
assertion can be written m = Nm0 . 0 . 027 = 26 6 . 02 10 0 027 0 6
02 1023 . kg = . m0 , so m0 23 = 4 48 10 . kg kg , in agreement
with the first assertion. (b) The general equation m = Nm0 applied
to one mole of any substance gives M g = NM u, where M is the
numerical value of the atomic mass. It divides out exactly for all
substances, giving 1.000 000 0 103 kg = N1.660 540 2 1027 kg . With
eight-digit data, we can be quite sure of the result to seven
digits. For one mole the number of atoms is N = FH G IK J 1 + = 1

hydrogen is 1.008 0 u and that of oxygen is 15.999 u. The mass of
one molecule of H2O is 2b1.008 0g+ 15.999 u = 18.0 u. Then the
molar mass is 18.0 g . (d) For CO2 we have 12.011 g + 2b15.999 gg =
44.0 g as the mass of one mole.

Analysis P1.13 The term x has dimensions of L, a has dimensions of
LT2 , and t has dimensions of T. Therefore, the equation x = kamtn
has dimensions of L = eLT2 j aTf m n or L T L T 1 0 2 = m n m. The
powers of L and T must be the same on each side of the equation.
Therefore, L1 = Lm and m = 1 . Likewise, equating terms in T, we
see that n 2m must equal 0. Thus, n = 2 . The value of k, a
dimensionless constant, cannot be obtained by dimensional analysis
. *P1.14 (a) Circumference has dimensions of L. (b) Volume has
dimensions of L3 . (c) Area has dimensions of L2 . Expression (i)
has dimension L L2 L e j1 2 2 / = , so this must be area (c).
Expression (ii) has dimension L, so it is (a). Expression (iii) has
dimension LeL2 j = L3 , so it is (b). Thus, (a) = ii; (b) = iii,
(c) = i .
7. 6 Physics and Measurement P1.15 (a) This is incorrect since
the units of ax are m2 s2 , while the units of v are m s . (b) This
is correct since the units of y are m, and cosakxf is dimensionless
if k is in m1 . *P1.16 (a) a or a k F m = represents the
proportionality of acceleration to resultant force and F m the
inverse proportionality of acceleration to mass. If k has no
dimensions, we have a k F m = , L T 1 F 2 M = , F M L T2 = . (b) In
units, M L T kg m = 2 s2 , so 1 newton = 1 kg m s2 . P1.17

the area to be about A a30 mfa50 mf = 1 500 m2 . Categorize: We

Table 1.5, the density of lead is 1 13 104 . kg m3 , so we should
expect our calculated value to be close to this number. This
density value tells us that lead is about 11 times denser than
water, which agrees with our experience that lead sinks. Density is
defined as mass per volume, in = m V . We must convert to SI units
in the calculation. = FH G IK J FH G IK J . 4 . . kgm3 = g cm 23 94

calculation, we note that one million cubic centimeters make one
cubic meter. Our result is indeed close to the expected value.
Since the last reported significant digit is not certain, the
difference in the two values is probably due to measurement
uncertainty and should not be a concern. One important common-sense
check on density values is that objects which sink in water must
have a density greater than 1 g cm3 , and objects that float must
be less dense than water. P1.26 It is often useful to remember that
the 1 600-m race at track and field events is approximately 1 mile
in length. To be precise, there are 1 609 meters in a mile. Thus, 1

smaller by 3 00 10 331 9 06 10 8 . 5 . = m s m s times, so it is
negligible in comparison. Q2.2 Yes. Yes, if the particle winds up
in the +x region at the end. Q2.3 Zero. Q2.4 Yes. Yes. Q2.5 No.
Consider a sprinter running a straight-line race. His average
velocity would simply be the length of the race divided by the time
it took for him to complete the race. If he stops along the way to
tie his shoe, then his instantaneous velocity at that point would
be zero. Q2.6 We assume the object moves along a straight line. If
its average velocity is zero, then the displacement must be zero
over the time interval, according to Equation 2.2. The object might
be stationary throughout the interval. If it is moving to the right
at first, it must later move to the left to return to its starting
point. Its velocity must be zero as it turns around. The graph of
the motion shown to the right represents such motion, as the
initial and final positions are the same. In an x vs. t graph, the
instantaneous velocity at any time t is the slope of the curve at
that point. At t0 in the graph, the slope of the curve is zero, and
thus the instantaneous velocity at that time is also zero. x t0 t
FIG. Q2.6 Q2.7 Yes. If the velocity of the particle is nonzero, the
particle is in motion. If the acceleration is zero, the velocity of
the particle is unchanging, or is a constant. 21
22. 22 Motion in One Dimension Q2.8 Yes. If you drop a doughnut
from rest av = 0f, then its acceleration is not zero. A common
misconception is that immediately after the doughnut is released,
both the velocity and acceleration are zero. If the acceleration
were zero, then the velocity would not change, leaving the doughnut
floating at rest in mid-air. Q2.9 No: Car A might have greater
acceleration than B, but they might both have zero acceleration, or
otherwise equal accelerations; or the driver of B might have
tramped hard on the gas pedal in the recent past. Q2.10 Yes.
Consider throwing a ball straight up. As the ball goes up, its
velocity is upward av > 0f, and its acceleration is directed
down aa < 0f. A graph of v vs. t for this situation would look
like the figure to the right. The acceleration is the slope of a v
vs. t graph, and is always negative in this case, even when the
velocity is positive. v t v0 FIG. Q2.10 Q2.11 (a) Accelerating East
(b) Braking East (c) Cruising East (d) Braking West (e)
Accelerating West (f) Cruising West (g) Stopped but starting to
move East (h) Stopped but starting to move West Q2.12 No. Constant
acceleration only. Yes. Zero is a constant. Q2.13 The position does
depend on the origin of the coordinate system. Assume that the
cliff is 20 m tall, and that the stone reaches a maximum height of
10 m above the top of the cliff. If the origin is taken as the top
of the cliff, then the maximum height reached by the stone would be
10 m. If the origin is taken as the bottom of the cliff, then the
maximum height would be 30 m. The velocity is independent of the
origin. Since the change in position is used to calculate the
instantaneous velocity in Equation 2.5, the choice of origin is
arbitrary. Q2.14 Once the objects leave the hand, both are in free
fall, and both experience the same downward acceleration equal to
the free-fall acceleration, g. Q2.15 They are the same. After the
first ball reaches its apex and falls back downward past the
student, it will have a downward velocity equal to vi. This
velocity is the same as the velocity of the second ball, so after
they fall through equal heights their impact speeds will also be
the same. Q2.16 With h = gt 1 2 2 , 0 707 2 . h = ga . tf . The

45. Chapter 2 45 *P2.59 (a) As we see from the graph, from
about 50 s to 50 s Acela is cruising at a constant positive
velocity in the +x direction. From 50 s to 200 s, Acela accelerates
in the +x direction reaching a top speed of about 170 mi/h. Around
200 s, the engineer applies the brakes, and the train, still
traveling in the +x direction, slows down and then stops at 350 s.
Just after 350 s, Acela reverses direction (v becomes negative) and
steadily gains speed in the x direction. t (s) 100 200 300 200 100

55. 3 CHAPTER OUTLINE 3.1 Coordinate Systems 3.2 Vector and
Scalar Quantities 3.3 Some Properties of Vectors 3.4 Components of
a Vector and Unit Vectors Vectors ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Q3.1 No. The
sum of two vectors can only be zero if they are in opposite
directions and have the same magnitude. If you walk 10 meters north
and then 6 meters south, you wont end up where you started. Q3.2
No, the magnitude of the displacement is always less than or equal
to the distance traveled. If two displacements in the same
direction are added, then the magnitude of their sum will be equal
to the distance traveled. Two vectors in any other orientation will
give a displacement less than the distance traveled. If you first
walk 3 meters east, and then 4 meters south, you will have walked a
total distance of 7 meters, but you will only be 5 meters from your
starting point. Q3.3 The largest possible magnitude of R = A+ B is
7 units, found when A and B point in the same direction. The
smallest magnitude of R = A+ B is 3 units, found when A and B have
opposite directions. Q3.4 Only force and velocity are vectors. None
of the other quantities requires a direction to be described. Q3.5
If the direction-angle of A is between 180 degrees and 270 degrees,
its components are both negative. If a vector is in the second
quadrant or the fourth quadrant, its components have opposite
signs. Q3.6 The books displacement is zero, as it ends up at the
point from which it started. The distance traveled is 6.0 meters.
Q3.7 85 miles. The magnitude of the displacement is the distance
from the starting point, the 260-mile mark, to the ending point,
the 175-mile mark. Q3.8 Vectors A and B are perpendicular to each
other. Q3.9 No, the magnitude of a vector is always positive. A
minus sign in a vector only indicates direction, not magnitude.

56. 56 Vectors Q3.10 Any vector that points along a line at 45
to the x and y axes has components equal in magnitude. Q3.11 Ax =
Bx and Ay = By . Q3.12 Addition of a vector to a scalar is not
defined. Think of apples and oranges. Q3.13 One difficulty arises
in determining the individual components. The relationships between
a vector and its components such as Ax = Acos , are based on
right-triangle trigonometry. Another problem would be in
determining the magnitude or the direction of a vector from its
components. Again, A = Ax2 + Ay2 only holds true if the two
component vectors, Ax and Ay , are perpendicular. Q3.14 If the
direction of a vector is specified by giving the angle of the
vector measured clockwise from the positive y-axis, then the
x-component of the vector is equal to the sine of the angle
multiplied by the magnitude of the vector. SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS

Their instantaneous foot-to-head vectors have upward vertical
components on the order of 1 m and randomly oriented horizontal
components. The citywide sum will be ~105 m upward . (b) Most
people are lying in bed early Saturday morning. We suppose their
beds are oriented north, south, east, west quite at random. Then
the horizontal component of their total vector height is very
nearly zero. If their compressed pillows give their height vectors
vertical components averaging 3 cm, and if one-tenth of one percent
of the population are on-duty nurses or police officers, we
estimate the total vector height as ~105 a0.03 mf+ 102 a1 mf ~103 m
