Chapter 1: Q6. (page 17)

To convert from ft2 to yd2, you should

(a) multiply by 3.

(b) multiply by 1/3.

(c) multiply by 9.

(d) multiply by 1/9.

(e) multiply by 6.

(f) multiply by 1/6.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (d).

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Relation between yd and ft

The conversion of a unit is a process in which the unit of the measurement of a quantity changes from one prospect to another. There is a set factor by which the particular quantity needs to be multiplied or divided for every conversion.

You know that the relation between ft and yd is

1鈥�鈥�yd=3鈥�鈥�ft1鈥�鈥�ft=13鈥�鈥�yd

02

Step 2. Conversion of ft2 to yd2

Now,

1鈥�鈥�ft2=13鈥�鈥�yd21鈥�鈥�ft2=19鈥�鈥�yd2ft2=19脳yd2

Hence, to convert ft2 to yd2, the quantity must be multiplied by 19.

Many sailboats are docked at a marina 4.4 km away on the opposite side of a lake. You stare at one of the sailboats because, when you are lying flat at the water鈥檚 edge, you can see its deck but none of the side of the sailboat. You then go to the sailboat on the other side of the lake and measure that the deck is 1.5 m above the level of the water. Using Fig. 1-16, where h = 1.5 m, estimate the radius R of the earth.

You are lying on a beach, with your eyes 20 cm above the sand. Just as the sun sets, fully disappearing over the horizon, you jump up. Your eyes are now 150 cm above the sand, and you can just see the top of the sun. If you count the number of seconds (= t) until the sun fully disappears again, you can estimate the earth鈥檚 radius. However, for this problem, use the known radius of the earth to calculate the time t.

An angstrom (symbolA鈭�) is a unit of length, defined as10-10m, which is on the order of the diameter of an atom.

(a) How many nanometres are there in 1.0 angstrom?

(b) How many femtometers or fermis (the common unit of length in nuclear physics) are there in 1.0 angstrom?

(c) How many angstroms are there in 1.0 m?

(d) How many angstroms are there in 1.0 light-year (See problem 19)?
