2 The worked Solutions use only material from the text, so there maybe times when the solution here seems unnecessarily convoluted and drawn out. Yes, I know aneasier approach existed. But if it was not in the text, I did not use it also tried to avoid reinventing the wheel. There are some exercises and problems in the textwhich build upon previous exercises and problems. Instead of rederiving expressions, I simply referyou to the previous adopt a different approach for rounding of significant figures than previous authors; in partic-ular, I usually round intermediate answers.

3 As such, some of my answers will differ from those inthe back of the and Problems which are enclosed in a box also appear in the Student s Solution Manualwith considerably more detail and, when appropriate, include discussion on any physical implicationsof the answer. These student Solutions carefully discuss the steps required for solving problems, pointout the relevant equation numbers, or even specify where in the text additional information can befound. When two almost equivalent methods of solution exist, often both are presented. You areencouraged to refer students to the Student s Solution Manual for these exercises and , the material from the Student s Solution Manual mustnotbe StanleyBeloit Megaphones; (b) Microphones; (c) Decacards (Deck of Cards); (d) Gigalows (Gigolos);(e) Terabulls (Terribles); (f) Decimates; (g) Centipedes; (h) Nanonanettes (?)

(b) $10,000,000/(20 12 month) = $41,700/month. (c)30 109/8 = out the factors which make up a century = 100 years(365 days1 year)(24 hours1 day)(60 minutes1 hour)This gives 107minutes in a century, so a microcentury is percentage difference from Fermi s approximation is ( min)/(50 min) 100% or (3000 mi)/(3 hr) = 1000 mi/timezone-hour.

5 There are 24 time-zones, so the circumferenceis approximately 24 1000 mi = 24,000 number of seconds in a year is( days)(24 hr1 day)(60 min1 hr)(60 s1 min)= percentage error of the approximation is 107s 107s= %.E1-6(a) 10 8seconds per shake means 108shakes per second. There are(365 days1 year)(24 hr1 day)(60 min1 hr)(60 s1 min)= 107 means there are more shakes in a second.(b) Humans have existed for a fraction of106years/1010years = 10 fraction of a day is10 4(24 hr)(60 min1 hr)(60 s1 min)= ll assume, for convenience only, that the runner with the longer time ranexactlyonemile.

6 Let the speed of the runner with the shorter time be given byv1, and call the distance actuallyran by this runnerd1. Thenv1=d1/t1. Similarly,v2=d2/t2for the other runner, andd2= 1 want to know whenv1> v2. Substitute our expressions for speed, and getd1/t1> d2 , andd1/d2> t1/t2ord1/d2> Thend1> mile (5280 feet/1 mile) ord1> feet is the condition that the first runner was indeed faster. The first track can be nomore than feet too short to guarantee that the first runner was will wait until a day s worth of minutes have been gained. That would be(24 hr)(60 min1 hr)= 1440 clock gains one minute per day, so we need to wait 1,440 days, or almost four years.

7 Of course,if it is an older clock with hands that only read 12 hours (instead of 24), then after only 720 daysthe clock would be find the logarithmic average bylogtav=12(log(5 1017) + log(6 10 15)),=12log(5 1017 6 10 15),=12log 3000 = log( 3000).Solve, andtav= 20 centuries the day would have increased in length by a total of 20 s = cumulative effect would by the product of theaverageincrease and the number of days; thataverage is half of the maximum, so the cumulative effect is12(2000)(365)( s) = 7300 s. That sabout 2 months are based on the Earth s position, and as the Earth moves around the orbitthe Moon has farther to go to complete a phase.

8 In days the Moon may have orbited through360 , but since the Earth moved through ( ) 360 = 27 the Moon needs to move 27 farther to catch up. That will take (27 /360 ) days = days, but in that time the Earthwould have moved on yet farther, and the moon will need to catch up again. How much farther?( ) 360 = which means ( /360 ) days = days. The total so far days longer; we could go farther, but at our accuracy level, it isn t worth ( m)( m) = ft, or just under 6 feet, 3 (a) 100 meters = feet (Appendix G), or = yards.

9 This is 28 feet longerthan 100 yards, or (28 ft)( m/ft) = m. (b) A metric mile is (1500 m)( 10 4mi/m) = d rather run the metric are300,000 years( days1 year)(24 hr1 day)(60 min1 hr)(60 s1 min)= 1012sthat will elapse before the cesium clock is in error by 1 s. This is almost 1 part in 1013. This kindof accuracy with respect to 2572 miles is10 13(2572 mi)(1609 m1 mi)= 413 volume of Antarctica is approximated by the area of the base time the height; thearea of the base is the area of a semicircle.
