Chapter 1: Q4DQ (page 27)

The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) maintains several accurate copies of the international standard kilogram. Even after careful cleaning, these national standard kilograms are gaining mass at an average rate of about 1渭g/y(y = year) when compared everyyears or so to the standard international kilogram. Does this apparent increase have any importance? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The apparent increase in the mass does not have any importance.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be expressed below as:

  • The national standards kilograms are gaining mass by1渭g/y compared to every 10 years.
02

Determination of the importance of increase of mass

The kg or the kilogram is the only 鈥渇undamental constant鈥� that is not based on a particular universal constant. However, the time is described as the time required for a cesium atom鈥檚 microwave radiation of9,129,631,770cycles. Moreover, the distance is described as the interval in which the light travels in1299,792,458of a second.However, if the kilogram standard changes,the actual kilogram鈥檚 mass also changes.

A car is stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road such that its distance from the light is given byxt=bt2-ct3, whereb=2.40m/s2andc=0.120m/s3. (a) Calculate the average velocity of the car for the time interval t = 0 to t = 10.0 s. (b) Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the car at t = 0, t = 5.0 s, and t = 10.0 s. (c) How long after starting from rest is the car again at rest?

A plastic ball has radius 12.0 cm and floats in water with 24.0% of its volume submerged. (a) What force must you apply to the ball to hold it at rest totally below the surface of the water? (b) If you let go of the ball, what is its acceleration the instant you release it?

The driver of a car wishes to pass a truck that is traveling at a constant speed of20.0m/s(about41mil/h). Initially, the car is also traveling at20.0m/s, and its front bumper is24.0mbehind the truck鈥檚 rear bumper. The car accelerates at a constant 0.600m/s2, then pulls back into the truck鈥檚 lane when the rear of the car is26.0mahead of the front of the truck. The car islong, and the truck is 21.0m long. (a) How much time is required for the car to pass the truck? (b) What distance does the car travel during this time? (c) What is the final speed of the car?
