A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m), (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P1.69. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled. Figure 1.69
Roughly how many times longer than the mean life of an extremely unstable atomic nucleus is the lifetime of a human?
The distance between Saturn and the sun is approximately 8.9 × 108 mi. The speed of light is approximately 1.9 × 105 miles per second. How long does it take light to travel from the sun to Saturn? Answer in units of sec.
In astronomy, a unit of distance is used called the Astronomical Unit. It is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun. If 1 au is 1.49 × 1011 m, and a light-year is the distance it takes light to travel in 1 year elapsed time (light travels at a speed of c = 3.0 x 108 ), then how many au is it to get to Alpha Centauri (our closest star with a planetary system) if is 4.367 lightyears away?
On the planet Zebulon, the standard unit for length is the clorf (cl) and the standard unit for time is the beedle (be). After many years of research, you have determined that 1clort = 0.765 meters 1beedle = 1.957 seconds (1cl = 0.765m) (1be = 1.957s) If you are driving at a speed of 85mi / h , how fast are you going in terms of clorés per beedle (cl/be)? NOTE: 1 mi = 1609 m.
A light-vear is the distance that light travels in one year. The speed of light is 3.00 x 108 m/s. How many miles are there in one light-year? (1 mi = 1609 m, 1 y =365 d) 5.88 x 1015 mi O 9.46 x 1012 mi 5.88 x 1012 mi O 9,46 x 1015 mi
Consider the equation s = s0 + v0t + a0t2/2 + j0t3/6 + S0t4/24 + c0t5/120 , where s is length, and t is time. What are the SI units of (a) s0, (b) v0, (c) a0, (d) j0, (e) S0, and (f) c0? The answers are case sensitive. If you want to insert superscript use the notation "^". For example "m/s^2" means meters per second squared.
A Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver is a device thatlets you figure out where you are by receiving timed radio signals from satellites. It works by measuring the travel time for the signals, which is related to the distance between you and the satellite. By finding the ranges to several different satellites in this way, it can pin down your location in three dimensions to within a few meters. How accurate does the measurement of the time delay have to be in units of nanoseconds to determine your position to 10 m accuracy? 1 s = 10^9 ns
A light-year (ly) is the distance light travels in one year (at speed of 2.998 ×× 108 m/sm/s ). An astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance from the Sun to Earth, 1.50 ×× 108 km. 1 year = 3.156 ×× 107 s. How many meters are there in 1.70 ly? Express your answer using three significant figures. Express in scientific notation! 1.70 ly = _________________m How many AU are there in 1.70 ly light-year? Express your answer using three significant figures. Express in scientific notation! 1.70 ly = _________________AU

Tidal friction is slowing the rotation of the Earth. As a result, the orbit of the Moon is increasing in radius at a rate of approximately 4 cm/year. Assuming this to be a constant rate, how many years will pass before the radius of the Moon's orbit increases by 3.84×106 m (1%)?
A high tech company uses a satellite to measure the size of features on the surface of the earth. They use this technology to measure a particular rectangular field and find it's length to be 444 ± 1.8 in meters and it's width to be 198 ± 1.63 in meters. They plan to report the perimeter (sum of two lengths and two widths) of the field as P± SP in units of yards. (1 meter = 1.094 yards) What is SP?
