A map suggests that Atlanta is 730. miles in a direction 5.00 north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560. miles in a direction 21.0 west of north from Atlanta. Figure P1.68 shows the location of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago. Figure P1.68

When you are at a height x above the surface of the earth, your weight can be found by the following formula: W(x) = mg (1 + x/R) −2 , where m is the mass of your body, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and R is the radius of the earth. For example, W(0) is your weight when you are on the surface of the earth and W(R) is your weight when you are at the height R above the surface of the earth (yes, you are far away from the earth’s atmosphere). In this question, we will approximate W(0) and W(R). (a) Find L0(x), the linear approximation of W(x) at x = 0. (b) Use L0(x) to approximate W(0) and W(R). Which approximation is more accurate? Why? (c) Find LR(x), the linear approximation of W(x) at x = R. (d) Use LR(x) to approximate W(0) and W(R). Which approximation is more accurate? Why?

In the future, we may encounter a civilization from another planet. They will not use the SI or AE systems of units. Suppose we meet aliens who use the Zerf as a unit of mass and the Spund as a unit of force. One Spund is the weight of a mass of one Zerf on the surface of Mars. The gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s2. a.) What is gc in the alien system of units? Be sure to include the numerical value and the units. b.) How much would a 350 Zerf object weigh on the surface of Mars, in Spunds?
Kirsten Biorn has just given birth to a bouncing 8 lb, 8 oz baby girl. How should she describe the weight of her child to her brother, who lives in Denmark — in metric units, of course? (1 lb= 16 oz exactly, 1 lb= 454 g).
The maximum running speed (S) in km/hr and the corresponding body mass (m) in kg were determined for 55 different species of mammals. An empirical relation was determined to be: S[km/hr] = 5.7 (m[kg])2 . Note: The notation in this equation means, “inserting the mass (m) in units of ‘kg’, automatically calculates the maximum running speed (S) in units of ‘km/hr’. ” (a) What are the implied units for the “5.7” factor? Hint: recall that relations between physical quantities must be dimensionally consistent, and the chosen units must in turn be consistent with the dimensionality. (b) Re-write the equation so that it gives the maximum speed in units of “m/s” for a given body mass in “g”. Show all relevant details. If done correctly, you will need to use at least one unit conversion factor.
