Explain why, when defining the length of a rod, it is necessary to specify that the positions of the ends of the rod are to be measured simultaneously.
A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 1.00 102 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline lo the tree is = 35.0 (Fig. P1.53). How wide is the river? Figure P1.53

(a) Use the distance and velocity data in Figure 3.64 to find the rate of expansion as a function of distance. (b) If you extrapolate back in time, how long ago would all of the galaxies have been at approximately the same position? The two parts of this problem give you some idea of how the Hubble constant for universal expansion and the time back to the Big Bang are determined, respectively. Figure 3.64 Five galaxies on a straight line, showing their distances and velocities relative to the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. The distances are in millions of light years (Mly), where a light year is the distance light travels in one year. The velocities are nearly proportional to the distances. The sizes of the galaxies are greatly exaggerated; an average galaxy is about 0.1 MlY across.
Light travels at a speed of about 3 103 m/s. (a) How many miles down a pulse of light travel in a time interval of 0.1 s, which is about the blink of an eye? (b) Compare this distance to the diameter of Earth.
How many times longer than the mean life of an extremely unstable atomic nucleus is the lifetime of a human? (Hint: The lifetime of an unstable atomic nucleus is on the order of 10-22 s.
Consider the equation s=s0+v0t+a0t2/2+j0t3/6+s0t4/24+ct5/120 , were s is a length and t is a time. What are the dimensions and SI units of (a) s0 , (b) v0 , (c) a0 , (d) j0 , (e) s0, and (f) c ?
How many significant figures are there in (a) 0.0000303 and(b) 6.201 * 105?
I currently have 9.00 x sin(61) = 7.87 for the +y value of quadrant 2. Then 6.20 x sin(53.2) = 4.96 as the -y value of quadrant 3. Would I use cos to find x axis? When I do this they are obviously two different values. I'm a little lost as my teacher is confusing. Please do step by step so I can easily break it down for understanding.
What is the speed of a car going v=1.000mphv=1.000mph in SI units? Notice that you will need to change from miles to meters and from hours to seconds. You can do each conversion separately. Use the facts that 1mile=1609m1mile=1609m and 1hour=3600s1hour=3600s.
From t = d/v, where the speed of light is in 3.00x108 m/s, 1 ft = 0.3048 m. Convert 1.00 ft to m and t from s to ns.
Using a single dimensional equation, estimate the number of steps it would take you, walking at your normal stride, to walk from the Earth to Alpha Centauri, a distance of 4.3 light-years. The speed of light is 1:86 x 105A miles/s.
