- Roughly how many times longer than the mean life of an extremely unstable atomic nucleus is the lifetime of a human?arrow_forwardA 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 1.69arrow_forwardOne student uses a meterstick to measure the thickness of a textbook and obtains 4.3 cm 0.1 cm. Other students measure the thickness with vernier calipers and obtain four different measurements: (a) 4.32 cm 0.01 cm. (b) 4.31 cm 0.01 cm, (c) 4.24 cm 0.01 cm, and (d) 4.43 cm 0.01 cm. Which of these four measurements, if any, agree with that obtained by the first student?arrow_forward
- In 1980, the Voyager spacecraft sent back beautiful photographs of Saturn via radio transmission. If the distance between Earth and Saturn was 1.277 x 1012 m, how much time (in minutes) was required for the transmission?arrow_forwardA Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver is a device that lets 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 30 m accuracy? 1s 10^9 ns Your Answer: Answerarrow_forwardAssume your hair grows at a rate of 1/44th of an inch per day. How fast is that in nm/s (nanometers per second)? Given that a typical atom is on the order of 1 x 10^(-10) m in diameter (see Table 1.3 on page 18 of the textbook), at approximately what rate does the protein synthesis that assembles your hair strands deposit atoms in units of atoms per second? I need the second question to be rounded to 1 significant digit.arrow_forward

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?arrow_forwardConsider 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.arrow_forward
