- A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by thefollowing method: starting directly across from a tree on theopposite bank, he walks x = 1.00 x 102 m along the riverbankto establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. Theangle from his baseline to the tree is θ = 35.0° (Fig. P1.53).How wide is the river?arrow_forwardIn 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.arrow_forwardIn SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s).

- can a dimensional analysis can tell you whether an equation is physically correct. true or falsearrow_forwardIf a person's height is 6 ft, what would it be the equivalent in cm? (round it off to the nearest integer)arrow_forwardIn a situation in which data are known to three significant digits, we write 6.379 m = 6.38 m and 6.374 m = 6.37 m. When a number ends in 5, we arbitrarily choose to write 6.375 m = 6.38 m. We could equally well write 6.375 m = 6.37 m, “rounding down” instead of “rounding up,” because we would change the number 6.375 by equal increments in both cases. Now consider an order-of-magnitude estimate, in which factors of change rather than increments are important. We write 500 m ~ 103 m because 500 differs from 100 by a factor of 5 while it differs from 1 000 by only a factor of 2. We write 437 m ~ 103 m and 305 m ~ 102 m.
