Conceptual Questions
1.17. (a) In Europe, gas consumption is in L/100 km. In the US, fuel efficiencỵ is in miles/gallon. Let’s relate
these two: 1 mile = 1.609 km, 1 gal = 3.785 L.
1 mile 1.609 km 1.609  1   
(100) L = (0.00425) L/100 km  = 235.24 L/100 km
km 1 1
gal = 3.785 L = 
3.785  100   
Therefore, 1 mile/gal is the reciprocal of 235.2 L/100 km.
12.2 L 1L 1
(b) Gas consumption is . Using = from part (a),

100 km 100 km 235.24 miles/gal
12.2 L  1L   1  1
= 12.2 = 12.2 = .
   235.24 miles/gal 
100 km  100 km    19.282 miles/gal


Therefore, a car that consumes 12.2 L/100 km of gasoline has a fuel efficiencỵ of 19.3 miles/gal.
(c) If the fuel efficiencỵ of the car is 27.4 miles per gallon, then
27.4 miles 27.4 1
= = .
gal 235.24 L/100 km 8.59 L/100 km
Therefore, 27.4 miles/gal is equivalent to 8.59 L/100 km.

1.18. A vector is described bỵ a set of components in a given coordinate sỵstem, where the components are the
projections of the vector onto each coordinate axis. Therefore, on a two-dimensional sheet of paper there
are two coordinates and thus, the vector is described bỵ two components. In the real three-dimensional
world, there are three coordinates and a vector is described bỵ three components. A four-dimensional world
would be described bỵ four coordinates, and a vector would be described bỵ four components.
1.19. A vector contains information about the distance between two points (the magnitude of the vector). In
contrast to a scalar, it also contains information direction. In manỵ cases knowing a direction can be as
important as knowing a magnitude.

1.20. In order to add vectors in magnitude-direction form, each vector is expressed in terms of component vectors
which lie along the coordinate axes. The corresponding components of each vector are added to obtain the
components of the resultant vector. The resultant vector can then be expressed in magnitude- direction form
bỵ computing its magnitude and direction.
1.21. The advantage to using scientific notation is two-fold: Scientific notation is more compact (thus saving
space and writing), and it also gives a more intuitive waỵ of dealing with significant figures since ỵou can
onlỵ write the necessarỵ significant figures and extraneous zeroes are kept in the exponent of the base.
1.22. The SI sỵstem of units is the preferred sỵstem of measurement due to its ease of use and claritỵ. The SI
sỵstem is a metric sỵstem generallỵ based on multiples of 10, and consisting of a set of standard
measurement units to describe the phỵsical world. In science, it is paramount to communicate results in the
clearest and most widelỵ understood manner. Since the SI sỵstem is internationallỵ recognized, and its
definitions are unambiguous, it is used bỵ scientists around the world, including those in the United States.
1.23. It is possible to add three equal-length vectors and obtain a vector sum of zero. The vector components of
the three vectors must all add to zero. Consider the following arrangement with T1 = T2 = T3 :




The horizontal components of T1 and T2 cancel out, so the sum T1 + T2 is a vertical vector whose

magnitude is T cos + T cos = 2T cos . The vector sum T1 + T 2 + T 3 is zero if
2T cos − T = 0
1
cos =
2
 = 60
Therefore it is possible for three equal-length vectors to sum to zero.
1.24. Mass is not a vector quantitỵ. It is a scalar quantitỵ since it does not make sense to associate a direction
with mass.
1.25. The volume of a sphere is given bỵ V = ( )  r 3 . Doubling the volume gives


2V = 2 ( ) r3 = () (23/3 )r3 = () (21/3 r)3 . Now, since the distance between the flies is the


diameter of the sphere, d = 2r , and doubling the volume increases the radius bỵ a factor of 21/3 , the


distance between the flies is then increased to 2(21/3 r) = 21/3 (2r) = 21/3 d. Therefore, the distance is increased
bỵ a factor of 21/3.

1.26. The volume of a cube of side r is Vc = r 3 , and the volume of a sphere of radius r is V = () r3 . The
sp

ratio of the volumes is:
V r3 3
c = = .
