Chapter 6: Q1E (page 1434)
Starting with the definition 1 in. = 2.54 cm, find the number of (a) kilometers in 1.00 mile and (b) feet in 1.00 km
Short Answer
1 mile is defined as mesurmentof 1.609 km.
The conversion 1 km is also called as3280.84 feet

A high-speed train passes a train platform. Larry is a passenger on the train, Adam is standing on the train platform, and David is riding a bicycle toward the platform in the same direction as the train is traveling. Compare the length of a train car as measured by Larry, Adam, and David.
In classical (Newtonian) mechanics, the total energy E of a particle can never be less than the potential energy U because the kinetic energy K cannot be negative. Yet in barrier tunneling a particle passes through regions where E is less than U. Is this a contradiction? Explain.
Qualitatively, how would you expect the probability for a particle to tunnel through a potential barrier to depend on the height of the barrier? Explain.
Since lead is a stable element, why doesn’t the decay series shown in Fig. 43.7 stop at lead, ?
For a particle confined to an infinite square well, is it correct to say that each state of definite energy is also a state of definite wavelength? Is it also a state of definite momentum? Explain. (Hint:Remember that momentum is a vector.)
