AP 1.1 Use a product of ratios to convert 95% of the speed of light from meters per
second to miles per second:




ST
3 × 108 m 100 cm 1 in 1 ft 1 mile 177,090.79 miles
(0.95) · · · · = .
1s 1m 2.54 cm 12 in 5280 feet 1s




ER
Now set up a proportion to determine how long it takes this signal to travel
950 miles:
177,090.79 miles 950 miles
= .
1s xs
Therefore,
950
x= = 0.00536 = 5.36 × 10−3 s = 5.36 ms.
177,090.79
AP 1.2 We begin by expressing $1 trillion in scientific notation:

$1 trillion = $1 × 1012 .

Divide by 100 = 102 to find the number of $100 bills:
1012
$1 trillion = = 1010 $100 bills.
102
Calculate the height of a stack of 1010 $100 bills:
0.11 mm 1m
1010 bills · · = 1.1 × 106 m.
bill 1000 mm
Now we can convert from meters to miles, again with a product of ratios:
100 cm 1 in 1 ft 1 mi
1.1 × 106 m · · · · = 683.51 miles.
1m 2.54 cm 12 in 5280 ft

R
AP 1.3 [a] First we use Eq. (1.2) to relate current and charge:




IF
dq
i= = 0.25te−2000t .
dt




IE
Therefore, dq = 0.25te−2000t dt.




D
To find the charge, we can integrate both sides of the last equation. Note




BR
that we substitute x for q on the left side of the integral, and y for t on
the right side of the integral:




AI
Z q(t) Z t
dx = 0.25 ye−2000y dy.
q(0) 0




N
We solve the integral and make the substitutions for the limits of the




BO
integral:
t
e−2000y
q(t) − q(0) = 0.25 (−2000y − 1)




O
(−2000)2 0




ST
= 62.5 × 10−9 e−2000t (−2000t − 1) + 62.5 × 10−9

= 62.5 × 10−9 (1 − 2000te−2000t − e−2000t ).




ER
But q(0) = 0 by hypothesis, so
q(t) = 62.5(1 − 2000te−2000t − e−2000t ) nC.
[b] q(0.001) = (62.5)[1 − 2000(0.001)e−2000(0.001) − e−2000(0.001) ] = 37.12 nC.

AP 1.5 Start by drawing a picture of the circuit described in the problem statement:

Problems 1–3




R
[a] Now we have to match the voltage and current shown in the first figure
with the polarities shown in Fig. 1.6. Remember that 250 mA of current




IF
entering Terminal 2 is the same as 250 mA of current leaving Terminal 1.




IE
We get
(a) v = 50 V, i = −0.25 A; (b) v = 50 V, i = 0.25 A;




D
(c) v = −50 V, i = −0.25 A; (d) v = −50 V, i = 0.25 A.




BR
[b] Using the reference system in Fig. 1.6(a) and the passive sign convention,
p = vi = (50)(−0.25) = −12.5 W.




AI
[c] Since the power is less than 0, the box is delivering power.




N
Z t
AP 1.6 p = vi; w= p dx.




BO

Since the energy is the area under the power vs. time plot, let us plot p vs. t.




O
ST
ER
Note that in constructing the plot above, we used the fact that 60 hr
= 216,000 s = 216 ks.

p(0) = (6)(15 × 10−3 ) = 90 × 10−3 W;

p(216 ks) = (4)(15 × 10−3 ) = 60 × 10−3 W;

1
w = (60 × 10−3 )(216 × 103 ) + (90 × 10−3 − 60 × 10−3 )(216 × 103 ) = 16,200 J.

AP 1.7 [a] p = vi = (15e−250t )(0.04e−250t ) = 0.6e−500t W;

p(0.01) = 0.6e−500(0.01) = 0.6e−5 = 0.00404 = 4.04 mW.

P 1.1 [a] Use a product of ratios to convert 40,075 km to inches:




D
1000 m 100 cm 1 in
40,075 km · · · = 1,577,755,905.5 in.
1 km 1m 2.54 cm




BR
Now calculate the number of $20 bills this distance represents:
1,577,755,905.5 in




AI
Number of bills = = 256,963,502.5 ≈ 256,963,503.

N
The total dollar amount represented by this number of $20 bills is




BO
Total dollars = (256,963,503)($20) ≈ $5.14 billion.
[b] The weight of the number of bills calculated in part (a) is




O
(256,963,503)(1 g) = 256,963.5 kg. Use a product of ratios to convert kg
to tons:

P 1.3 [a] To begin, we calculate the number of pixels that make up the display:
npixels = (1920)(1080) = 2,073,600 pixels.
Each pixel requires 24 bits of information. Since 8 bits equal one byte,
each pixel requires 3 bytes of information. We can calculate the number
of bytes of information required for the display by multiplying the
number of pixels in the display by 3 bytes per pixel:
2,073,600 pixels 3 bytes
nbytes = · = 6,220,800 bytes/display.
1 display 1 pixel
