Proper Length

The theory of special relativity explains the connection between space and time to objects that move in a straight line at a constant speed. The objects move at the speed of light. When an object approaches light speed, its mass is endless and cannot move faster than light. The most crucial postulate of Einstein's special relativity is that the laws of nature do not change in each frame of reference.

A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P4.22). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?
A man drops a rock into a well, (a) The man hears the sound of the splash 2.40 s after he releases the rock from rest. The speed of sound in air (at the ambient temperature) is 336 m/s. How far below the top of the well is the surface of the water? (b) What If? II the travel time for the sound is ignored, what percentage error is introduced when the depth of the well is calculated?
(a) A car speedometer has a 5.0% uncertainty. What is the range of possible speeds when it reads 90 km/h? (b) Convert this range to miles per hour. (1Km=0.6214)
In the traditional Hansel and Gretel fable, the children drop crumbs of bread on the ground to mark their path through the woods. Unfortunately, the crumbs are eaten by birds, and the children cannot find their way home. In this modern-day problem, the children use a device that releases a drop of food dye once per minute. As long as it does not rain, they can find their way home. As an extra bonus, they make a motion diagram as shown in Figure P2.6. a. Describe the motion of the children in words. b. Using the coordinate system in Figure P2.6, make a position-versus-time graph. Note any ambiguities you encounter. c. Is your position-versus-time graph consistent with your description in part (a)? Explain.

How far below the top of the well is the surface of the water? (b) What If? If the travel time for the sound is ignored, what percentage error is introduced when the depth of the well is calculated?
Unreasonable Results A mountain stream is 10.0 m wide and averages 2.00 m in depth. During the spring runoff, the flow in the stream reaches 100,000 m3/s. (a) What is the average velocity of the stream under these conditions? (b) What is unreasonable about this velocity? (c) What is unreasonable or inconsistent about the premises?
