Conceptual Questions
1.17. (a) In Europe, gas consumption is in L/100 km. In the US, fuel efficiency 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
( 0.00425 ) =
km 1 1
= = (=
100 )
gal 3.785 L 3.785 100 L L/100 km 235.24 L/100 km
Therefore, 1 mile/gal is the reciprocal of 235.2 L/100 km.

(b) Gas consumption is . Using = from part (a),

100 km 100 km 19.282 miles/gal
Therefore, a car that consumes 12.2 L/100 km of gasoline has a fuel efficiency of 19.3 miles/gal.
(c) If the fuel efficiency 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.
(d)
1.18. A vector is described by a set of components in a given coordinate system, 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 by two components. In the real three-dimensional
world, there are three coordinates and a vector is described by three components. A four-dimensional
world would be described by four coordinates, and a vector would be described by 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 many cases knowing a direction can be as
important as knowing a magnitude.

ROUND: Since the speeds are given to two significant figures, the results should be rounded to
x1 = 49 km, x2 = 74 km and x=

x2 123 km ≈ 120 km, and then
x = x1 + x2 + x3 = 323 km ≈ 320 km.
DOUBLE-CHECK: The sum of the distances x1 , x2 and x3 must be equal to the total distance of 320 km:
x1 + x2 + x=
3 49.23 + 73.85 + 196.92= 320 km as expected. Also, note that x1 < x2 < x3 since v1 < v2 < v3 .

5.76. THINK: This problem involves a variable force. Since we want to find the change in kinetic energy, we
can find the work done as the object moves and then use the work-energy theorem to find the total work
done.

RESEARCH: Since the object started at rest, it had zero kinetic energy to start. Use the work-energy
theorem W = ∆K to find the change in kinetic energy. Since the object started with zero kinetic energy, the
total kinetic energy will equal the change in kinetic energy: ∆K =K . The work done by a variable force in
x
the x-direction is given by W = ∫ Fx ( x ' ) dx ' and the equation for our force is Fx ( x ' ) = A ( x ′ ) . Since the
6
x0
object starts at rest at 1.093 m and moves to 4.429 m, we start at x0 = 1.093 m and end at x = 4.429 m.

CALCULATE: The problem states that A = 11.45 N/m6, that the object starts at x0 = 1.093 m and that it
ends at x = 4.429 m. Plugging these into the equation and calculating gives:

ROUND: The measured values in this problem are the constant A in the equation for the force and the
two distances on the x-axis. All three of these are given to four significant figures, so the final answer
should have four significant figures: 5.468·104 J or 54.68 kJ.
DOUBLE-CHECK: Working backwards, if a variable force in the +x-direction changes the kinetic energy
from zero to 5.468·104 J, then the object will have moved

5.79. THINK: In this problem, the reindeer must pull the sleigh to overcome the friction between the runners
of the sleigh and the snow. Express the friction force in terms of the speed and weight of the sleigh, and the

Chapter 5: Kinetic Energy, Work, and Power
RESEARCH: Since the sleigh is moving with a constant velocity, the net forces on the sleigh are zero. This
means that the normal force and the gravitational force are equal and opposite ( N = −Fg ), as are the
friction force and the force from the reindeer ( Freindeer = − f k ). From the data given in the problem, it is
possible to calculate the friction force f k = µ k mg . The power required to keep the sleigh moving at a
constant speed is given by P = Freindeer v . Eventually, it will be necessary to convert from SI units (Watts) to
non-standard units (horsepower or hp). This can be cone using the conversion factor 1 hp = 746 W.
SIMPLIFY: To find the power required for the sleigh to move, it is necessary to express the force from the
reindeer in terms of known quantities. Since the force of the reindeer is equal in magnitude with the
friction force, use the equation for frictional force to find:
Freindeer = − f k
= fk
= µk mg
=
Use this and the speed of the sleigh to find that P F=reindeer v µk mgv .
CALCULATE: With the exception of the gravitational acceleration, all of the needed values are given in
the question. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sleigh and the snow is 0.1337, the mass of the
system (sleigh, Santa, and presents) is 537.3 kg, and the speed of the sleigh is 3.333 m/s. Using a
gravitational acceleration of 9.81 m/s gives:
P = µk mgv
= 0.1337 ⋅ 537.3 kg ⋅ 9.81 m/s 2 ⋅ 3.333 m/s
= 2348.83532 W
1 hp
This can be converted to horsepower: 2348.83532 W ⋅ =3.148572815 hp .
746 W
ROUND: The measured quantities in this problem are all given to four significant figures. Though the
conversion from watts to horsepower and the gravitational acceleration have three significant figures, they
do not count for the final answer. The power required to keep the sleigh moving is 3.149 hp.
DOUBLE-CHECK: Generally, it is thought that Santa has 8 or 9 reindeer (depending on how foggy it is
on a given Christmas Eve). This gives an average of between 0.3499 and 0.3936 horsepower per reindeer,
which seems reasonable. Work backwards to find that, if the reindeer are pulling the sled with 3.149 hp,
then the speed they are moving must be (rounding to four significant figures):

ROUND: v and h each have three significant figures, so the results should be rounded to Fnet = 0.292 N

ROUND: The least precise value given in the question has two significant figures. The answers should be
rounded so they also have two significant figures. Therefore, the minimum force is 60.5 N and is directed
at an angle of 13.4° below the horizontal.
DOUBLE-CHECK: Since the y-component of the force turned out to have a negative value, this indeed
implies that we had to apply some downward force to prevent the box from slipping. Just to make sure that
our solution is consistent, we can calculate the product of the box’s weight and the coefficient of friction
and make sure that this product is really smaller than our result for the horizontal component of the force,
= µs mg ( =
0.280 ) (20.0 kg)(9.81 m/s2 ) 54.94 N. This is indeed smaller than our result for Fx , which shows
that some downward force component was indeed needed.

mass will create further angular displacement.The arm’s mass is m = 0.0450 kg and is l = 0.120 m long. The

17.62. After the gas is heated up, its final volume is Vf = 213 L. The change in temperature is ∆T = 63 °F. The
volume expansion coefficient of gas is 950 ⋅ 10 −6 K −1 . Convert the change in temperature to Kelvin:
5 5
∆TC = ∆Tf and ∆TC =∆TK ⇒ ∆T = (63 °F) =35 K.
9 9
Vf 213 L
∆V = β gasVi ∆T , Vf = Vi + ∆V = Vi (1 + β gas ∆T ) ⇒ Vi = = = 206.15 L
1 + β gas ∆T 1 + (950 ⋅ 10 −6 K −1 )(35 K)
Thus, the maximum amount of gasoline that should be put into the tank at 57 °F is 206.15 L. Rounding
this value is dangerous, since the tank would overflow or possibly explode if 210 L is added.
17.63. The initial volume of the mercury is V = 8.00 mL, the cross-sectional area of the tube is A = 1.00 mm 2
and the volume expansion coefficient of mercury is β Hg =
181 ⋅ 10 −6 / °C. Consider a change in
temperature of ∆T= 1.00 °C. Since the cross-sectional area remains closely the same, ∆V = A∆L.
β HgV ∆T (181 ⋅ 10−6 / °C)(8.00 mL)(1.00 °C) 1000. mm 3
∆V = β HgV ∆T = A∆L ⇒ ∆L = = = 1.448 mm
A 1.00 mm 2 mL
Thus, the 1.00 °C tick marks should be spaced about 1.45 mm apart.
17.64. The initial volume of gasoline is 14 gallons and the change in temperature is ∆T = 27 °F. The volume
expansion coefficient of gas is 9.6 ⋅ 10 −4 / °C. Convert the temperature change from Fahrenheit to Celsius:
5 5
∆TC = ∆TF . Thus ∆T = (27 °F) = 15 °C.
9 9
Thus, ∆V= β gasV ∆T= (9.6 ⋅ 10 −4 / °C)(14 gal)(15 °C)= 0.2016 gal. So, 0.20 gallons of gasoline are lost.
17.65. The change in temperature is ∆T= 37.8 °C . The initial length of the slabs is L = 12.0 m. The linear
expansion coefficient of concrete is α con =
15 ⋅ 10−6 / °C.
∆L = α con L∆T = (15 ⋅ 10−6 / °C )(12.0 m)(37.8 °C)= 0.006804 m
Since the slabs expand uniformly, each side will grow by ∆L / 2 . However, the slabs expand towards each
other, so each can grow by ∆L / 2. Thus, the gap must be 2(∆L / 2) =∆L =6.8 mm.

To estimate the number of elementary change of either sign for the Earth I can assume the mass of the
Earth is due to the mass of the protons, neutrons and electrons of which it is primarily composed. If I
assume that the Earth’s mass is due to the proton and neutron masses primarily (became an electrons mass
is much smaller than a protons) and I assume that there are an equal number of protons and neutrons
than I can get the number of protons by dividing the Earth’s mass by two times the mass of a proton. The
mass of a proton is mP ≈ 1.6726 ⋅ 10 −27 kg, so you can estimate the number of elementary charges on the

nE = = 3.57 ⋅ 1051. So the percentage of the Earth’s changes that would be
mP 1.67 ⋅ 10 −27 kg
required to cancel out the gravitational force is ( n / nE ) ⋅ 100% =5.18 ⋅ 10 −14 %, a very small percentage.

ROUND: To two significant figures, the final image is xi,2 = 190 cm to the right of the object and the size
of the final image is hi,2 = 5.0 cm.
DOUBLE-CHECK: Since do < f for the converging lens, the image of the lens must be virtual, enlarged
and upright. The plane mirror cannot change these attributes, so the calculated results agree with these
expectations ( hi,2 > ho,1 > 0 ) .

33.93. You require lenses of power P = −8.4 diopter. A negative power infers that the focal length is negative, so
diverging lenses are being used. In a nearsighted eye, light comes to a focus before it reaches the retina
and diverging lenses are required to correct this. Therefore, you are nearsighted. For nearsighted eyes,
corrective lenses focus distant objects ( do = ∞ ) at the near point, so di = −dnear . Solving the thin lens
equation for dnear gives:

D = 1/ f = 1/ do + 1/ di = 1/ ∞ − 1/ dnear ⇒ − dnear = 1/ D = − 1/ −8.4 m −1 = 0.12 m.
