One 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?
In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably more comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0 m/s = 3.6 km/h and (b) 1.0 m/s = 2.2 mi/h.

A rabbit runs across a parking lot on which a set of coordinate axes has, strangely enough, been drawn. The coordinates (meters) of the rabbit’s position as functions of time t (seconds) are given by x=-0.31t2 + 7.2t + 28 (4-5) and y =0.22t2 - 9.1t + 30. (4-6) (a) At t = 15 s, what is the rabbit’s position vector in unitvector notation and in magnitude-angle notation?
A student solving for the acceleration of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression a=a1+Fma=a1+Fm where a1=3.00a1=3.00 meter/second2meter/second2, F=12.0kilogram⋅meter/second2F=12.0kilogram⋅meter/second2 and m=7.00kilogramm=7.00kilogram. First, which of the following is the correct step for obtaining a common denominator for the two fractions in the expression in solving for aa?
