Chapter 1: Q10 (page 9)

Until 1883, every city and town in the United States kept its own local time. Today, travelers reset their watches only when the time change equals 1.0 h. How far, on the average, must you travel in degrees of longitude between the time-zone boundaries at which your watch must be reset by 1.0 h? (Hint: Earth rotates 360掳 in about 24 h.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Degrees of longitude traveled per hour is 15o.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the time zones and degrees

Time zones tend to follow national boundaries and subdivisions rather than strictly follow longitude. Time zones are based on how many degrees鈥� longitude the Earth moves in each hour.The Earth rotates in 24 hours.

02

Calculating the time zone traveled

The number of degrees corresponding to one hour is

360慰24hr=15慰

Therefore, the time zone traveled in degrees of longitude per hour is15慰

Question: A particle moves along a straight path through displacement d鈫�=8.0mi^+cj^while forceF鈫�=2.0Ni+4.0Nj acts on it. (Other forces also act on the particle.) What is the value of c if the work done by F鈫�on the particle is (a) zero, (b) positive, and (c) negative?

Grains of fine California beach sand are approximately spheres with an average radius of50渭mand are made of silicon dioxide, which has a density of2600kg/m3.What mass of sand grains would have a total surface area (the total area of all the individual spheres) equal to the surface area of a cube 1.00 m on an edge?

Two types of barrel units were in use in the 1920s in the United States. The apple barrel had a legally set volume of 7056 cubic inches; the cranberry barrel, 5826 cubic inches. If a merchant sells 20 cranberry barrels of goods to a customer who thinks he is receiving apple barrels, what is the discrepancy in the shipment volume in liters?

A vertical container with base area measuring 14.0cmby17.0cmis being filled with identical pieces of candy, each with a volume of 50.0mm3and a mass of 0.0200g. Assume that the volume of the empty spaces between the candies is negligible. If the height of the candies in the container increases at the rate of 0.250cm/s, at what rate (kilograms per minute) does the mass of the candies in the container increase?

Figure 10-35shows three 0.0100kg particles that have been glued to a rod of length L=6.00cm and negligible mass. The assembly can rotate around a perpendicular axis through point Oat the left end. If we remove one particle (that is, 33%of the mass), by what percentage does the rotational inertia of the assembly around the rotation axis decrease when that removed particle is (a) the innermost one and (b) the outermost one?
