Learning Goal:
To practice Tactics Box 1.1 Vector Addition.
Vector addition obeys rules that are different from those for the addition of two scalar quantities. When you add two
vectors, their directions, as well as their magnitudes, must be taken into account. This Tactics Box explains how to add
vectors graphically.

Tactics Box 1.3 Finding the Acceleration Vector

Description: Knight Tactics Box 1.3 Finding the Acceleration Vector is illustrated. (vector applet)
Learning Goal:
To practice Tactics Box 1.3 Finding the Acceleration Vector.
Suppose an object has an initial velocity v n at time tn and later, at time tn+1 , has velocity v n+1 . The fact that the
velocity changes tells us the object undergoes an acceleration during the time interval t = tn+1 tn . From the
definition of average acceleration,
v n+1v n v ,
a = tn+1tn
= t
we see that the acceleration vector points in the same direction as the vector v . This vector is the change in the
velocity v = v n+1 v n , so to know which way the acceleration vector points, we have to perform the vector
subtraction v n+1 v n . This Tactics Box shows how to use vector subtraction to find the acceleration vector.
TACTICS BOX 1.3 Finding the acceleration vector
To find the acceleration as the velocity changes from v n to v n+1 :
1. Draw the velocity vector v n+1 .
2. Draw v n at the tip of v n+1 .

3. Draw v = v n+1 v n = v n+1 + (v n ) . This is the
direction of a .
4. Return to the original motion diagram. Draw a vector at
the middle point in the direction of v ; label it a . This is the average acceleration at the midpoint between
v n and v n+1 .
Part A
Below is a motion diagram for an object that moves along a linear path. The dots represent the position of the object
at three subsequent instants, t1 , t2 , and t3 . The vectors v 21 and v 32 show the average velocity of the object for the
initial time interval, t21 = t2 t1 , and the final time interval, t32 = t3 t2 , respectively. Draw the vector

v 21 and the acceleration vector a representing the change in average velocity of the object during the total time
interval t = t3 t1 . Assume for this problem that t = 1 s.
The orientation and length of the vectors will be graded. The location of the vectors will not be graded.
Hint 1. How to draw the acceleration vector

First, draw v 21 . Draw v 21 starting at the tip of v 21 and ending at its tail. Then, move v 21 , with the same
orientation, so that its tail is at the tip of v 32 . Use the vector info button to make sure that the lengths of v 21

and v 21 are equal. The acceleration vector, a , starts at the tail of v 32 and ends at the tip of v 21 .
ANSWER:
Part B
Below is another motion diagram for an object that moves along a linear path. The dots represent the position of the
object at five subsequent instants, t1 , t2 , t3 , t4 , and t5 . The vectors v 21 , v 32 , v 43 , and v 54 represent the average

velocity of the object during the four corresponding time intervals. Draw the velocity vectors v 21 and v 43 and the
acceleration vectors a 31 and a 53 representing the changes in average velocity of the object during the time intervals
t31 = t3 t1 and t53 = t5 t3 , respectively. Assume for this problem that t31 = t53 = 1 s.
The orientation and length of the vectors will be graded. The location of the vectors will not be graded.

points to the left.
Draw the vector with its tail at the dot 3. The orientation of your vector will be graded. The exact length of
your vector will not be graded but the relative length of one to the other will be graded.

ANSWER:
Tactics Box 1.5 Drawing a Pictorial Representation

Description: Knight Tactics Box 1.5 Drawing a Pictorial Representation is illustrated. (vector applet) (sorting applet)
Learning Goal:
To practice Tactics Box 1.5 Drawing a Pictorial Representation.
You will find that motion problems and other physics problems often have several variables and other pieces of
information to keep track of. The best way to tackle such problems is to draw a pictorial representation of the problem
that shows all of the important details. This Tactics Box explains how to draw a pictorial representation of a motion
problem.
TACTICS BOX 1.5 Drawing a pictorial representation
1. Draw a motion diagram. The motion diagram develops your intuition for the motion and, especially
important, determines whether the signs of v and a are positive or negative.
2. Establish a coordinate system. Select your axes and origin to match the motion. For one-dimensional
motion, you want either the x axis or the y axis parallel to the motion.
3. Sketch the situation. Not just any sketch. Show the object at the beginning of the motion, at the end, and
at any point where the character of the motion changes. Show the object, not just a dot, but very simple
drawings are adequate.
4. Define symbols. Use the sketch to define symbols representing quantities such as position, velocity,
acceleration, and time. Every variable used later in the mathematical solution should be defined on the
sketch. Some will have known values, and others are initially unknown, but all should be given symbolic
names.
5. List known information. Make a table of the quantities whose values you can determine from the problem
statement or that can be found quickly with simple geometry or unit conversions. Some quantities are
implied by the problem, rather than explicitly given. Others are determined by your choice of coordinate
system.
6. Identify the desired unknowns. What quantity or quantities will allow you to answer the question? These
should have been defined as symbols in step 4. Dont list every unknown, only the one or two needed to
answer the question.
Follow the steps above to draw a pictorial representation of the following problem: A light train is traveling on a straight
section of track at a constant speed of 15 m/s. As it approaches the next station, it starts to slow down at a rate of
5 m/s 2 until it stops at the station. From the moment the train starts to slow down, how long does it take for the train to
reach the station? Note that you are not expected to solve this problem, only to draw the pictorial representation.
Part A
Draw a motion diagram for the train. Assume that the train is moving toward the right and starts to slow down at
t = 0 . The separation of each dot represents an elapsed time of one second. Include velocity vectors and the
acceleration vector in your drawing. Keep in mind that the acceleration of the train has a magnitude of 5 m/s 2 .
The orientation and length of the velocity vectors will be graded. Only the direction of the acceleration
vector will be graded. The location of the vectors will not be graded.
Hint 1. How to draw the vectors with correct lengths

Draw each velocity vector between the corresponding two black dots. To draw the acceleration with the
correct length, click on the vector info button; adjust the vector until the length displayed in the properties
window has the desired value.
ANSWER:
Part B
Draw the coordinate system that is most appropriate for the train's motion. Since this problem deals with one-
dimensional motion, you need only the x-axis. Note that x i , x f , ti , tf , (vx ) i and (vx ) f are the initial position, final
position, initial time, final time, initial velocity, and final velocity of the train, respectively.
The orientation of the vector will be graded. The location and length of the vector will not be graded.
ANSWER:
Keep in mind that the choice of coordinate system is arbitrary. However, in problems involving one-dimensional
motion it is often convenient to select the x-axis to match the motion. Thus, in this case the positive end of the
x-axis is chosen to be to the right. It is also convenient in this problem to place the origin at the location where
the train starts to slow down.
Part C
To complete your pictorial representation of the problem, you should compile two lists: one of known quantities and
one of the unknown quantities that will allow you to answer the question in the problem. Below are all of the relevant
quantities in this problem. Sort them accordingly.
Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins.
ANSWER:
Now that you have identified the list of known and unknown quantities, you can add this information to your
pictorial representation in the form of a table. The actual sketch that you draw might look like this:
Made to Order (of Magnitude)

Description: Several unrelated order-of-magnitude calculations.
Learning Goal:
To be able to make order-of-magnitude calculations.
Imagine that a company wants to build a new factory. Such a complex project would involve significant investment in
terms of both time and money. Consequently, before construction can start the company asks for an estimate of the total
cost. Although estimate figures are not exact, they are still helpful: For instance, if the projected cost is three times the
amount of money that the company is willing to spend, the project will be canceled or substantially changed.
Individuals make such estimates all the time. For instance, when you need to drive somewhere for a meeting, you can
roughly predict how much time you will spend on the road and depart accordingly. Of course, the actual travel time is
unlikely to be exactly the same as the estimated onebut it still helps to make an estimate so that you can decide when
to leave.
Physicists must frequently make such estimatesknown as order-of-magnitude calculationsas part of their job.
Depending on the results of the estimate, a potentially lengthy and costly research project may be postponed, canceled,
or redesigned. Being able to make a quick calculation and get a "ball-park figure" of the expected result is an important
skill for a scientist, involving processes such as identifying relevant information, searching for this information, and using
your experience or background knowledge.
In this problem, you will practice making such order-of-magnitude calculations.
What is the total mass of all the people on earth?

It is impossible, of course, to give an accurate answer to this question. However, it is quite possible to find the order of
magnitude of the answer. All one needs to do is to use some common sense and, possibly, search for relevant reference
information. The calculation can proceed as follows:
There are about 7 109 people on earth. An average adult male weighs, say, 75 kg ; an average adult female weighs
about 60 kg , and an average child will weigh considerably less than 60 kg . Figuring roughly one child per adult, we can
reasonably say that an average person's mass is about 50 kg , which gives the total mass of all humans on our planet as
7 109 50 = 3.5 1011 kg .

Of course, we may be off in our estimates of the average mass or number of people. While it would be unreasonable to
say that we know the total mass is 3.5 1011 kg , we can be reasonably sure that we have the correct order of
magnitude; that is, we have the correct exponent to which the number 10 is raised.
In each of the following problems, you will be asked to make similar estimates.
Part A
How many people can fit into the Pentagon, which was once the largest office building in the world? Assume that
everybody must be standing on the floor.
Round the answer to the nearest power of 10 and then express your answer as the order of magnitude. For
instance, if your estimated answer is 3 105 , enter 5. If your estimated answer is 8.7 105 , you should
enter 6 (rounding up to the next power of 10).
Hint 1. What reference information should you be looking for?

What information should you be looking for?
Check all that apply.

ANSWER:
What is the tallest building in the world?

What is the most massive building in the world?
What building in the world has the largest floor area?
In which country is the largest building in the world located?
How many people can be found in the largest building in the world on a typical day?
Only the floor area matters here; height, mass, and location are irrelevant. The number of people
working in the building on a typical day probably does not matter: One would hope that, on a normal day,
this building is not "standing room only."
Hint 2. What numeric quantities do you need to estimate?

What numeric quantities do you need to estimate?
Check all that apply.
ANSWER:
the mass of an average person

the height of an average person
the amount of space the average person needs to work efficiently
the the area that an average person takes up while standing
the volume of an average person
ANSWER:
Your process for solving this problem might have been something like this:
First, a simple library or Internet search would tell you that the largest building in the world (in terms of the total
floor area) is the Pentagon, the main building of the U.S. Department of Defense. Its total floor area is about
6.5 106 ft 2 but only 3.8 106 ft 2 can be occupied; it would be hard to stand inside a wall! Assuming that
an average person occupies about 2.0 ft 2 when standing (a conservative estimate), we can see that about
1.9 106 people (more than three times the entire population of Washington, DC) could fit into the Pentagon
assuming the floors held up!
Your own answer may have been different from ours or used different details; however, the order of magnitude
was, hopefully, the same.
Part B
If the entire population of the United States forms a human chain by holding hands, how many times can such a
chain be wrapped around the earth's equator?
Round your answer to the nearest integer.
ANSWER:
Also accepted: 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
Here is one way to solve this problem:
There are about 300 million people in the United States. The distance between the tips of a person's
outstretched hands is roughly equal to the height of the person. Counting children, we estimate the average
palm-to-palm distance as one meter. Since the equator is about 40 million meters long, division yields about
7.5. However, in this part any answer between 5 and 15 is considered correctafter all, we are just estimating.
Part C
How many times does your heart beat during your lifetime?
ANSWER:
On average, your heart beats about once every second. The number of seconds in the lifetime of an average
U.S. resident is
86, 400 day s 365 days 75 years = 2.4 109 s
year lifetime
assuming a lifetime of 75 years. Of course, we didn't account for leap years since this is just an estimate.
Part D
Legend has it that, many centuries ago, Archimedes jumped out of his bathtub and ran across town naked
screaming "Eureka!" after he solved an especially difficult problem. Though you may not have thought of things this
way before, when you drink a glass of water, the water that you are drinking contains some water molecules that
were in Archimedes' bathwater that day, because water doesn't get created or destroyed on a large scale. It follows
the water cycle, which includes rain, evaporation, flowing of rivers into the ocean, and so on. In the more than two
thousand years since his discovery, the water molecules from Archimedes' bathwater have been through this cycle
enough times that they are probably about evenly distributed throughout all the water on the earth. When you buy a
can of soda, about how many molecules from that famous bathtub of Archimedes are there in that can?

Assume that the water from that bathtub is evenly mixed with the water throughout the surface of the Earth--
after all, it has had more than 2000 years to do so.
Hint 2. Avogadro's number

There are about 6.0 1023 molecules in 18 g of water; in other words, 1 kg of water contains about
25
3.3 10 molecules.
Hint 3. What to estimate

Estimate the mass of water in Archimedes' bathtub and the total mass of water on earth. (Note that most of
the earth's water is in its oceans.)
ANSWER:
Also accepted: 7, 5
We used the following assumptions: The total mass of water on the earth's surface is 1.4 1021 kg (reference
information available from many different sources); the mass of the water in the bathtub is guessed to be 200
kg ; the mass of the water in the can of soda is estimated to be about 0.33 kg; and 1 kg of water contains
about 3.3 1025 molecules .
Thus the total number of molecules in the can is roughly 1025 . The fraction of the bathtub molecules in the can
is 200/(1.4 1021 ) . Therefore, the number of bathtub molecules contained in the can is
2001025
21
1.4 106 .
1.410
Your answer is most likely different but it should still have the same order of magnitude, equal to 6. In case of
some "wilder" assumptions, we count 5 and 7 as correct too.
Converting between Different Units

Description: Problems in unit conversion: one based importing goods and another on the Mars Climate Orbiter .
Unit conversion problems can seem tedious and unnecessary at times. However, different systems of units are used in
different parts of the world, so when dealing with international transactions, documents, software, etc., unit conversions
are often necessary.
Here is a simple example. The inhabitants of a small island begin exporting beautiful cloth made from a rare plant that
grows only on their island. Seeing how popular the small quantity that they export has been, they steadily raise their
prices. A clothing maker from New York, thinking that he can save money by "cutting out the middleman," decides to
travel to the small island and buy the cloth himself. Ignorant of the local custom of offering strangers outrageous prices
and then negotiating down, the clothing maker accepts (much to everyone's surpise) the initial price of 400 tepizes/m 2 .
2
The price of this cloth in New York is 120 dollars/yard .
Part A
If the clothing maker bought 500 m 2 of this fabric, how much money did he lose? Use 1 tepiz = 0.625 dollar and
0.9144 m = 1 yard.
Express your answer in dollars using two significant figures.

To find how much money the clothing maker loses, you must find how much money he spent and how much
he would have spent in New York. Furthermore, since the problem asks how much he lost in dollars, you
need to determine both in dollars. This will require unit conversions.
Hint 2. Find how much he paid

2
If the clothing maker bought 500 m 2 at a cost of 400 tepizes/m , then simple multiplication will give how
much he spent in tepizes. Once you've found that, convert to dollars. How much did the clothing maker spend
in dollars?
Express your answer in dollars to three significant figures.
Hint 1. Find how much he paid in tepizes
2
If the clothing maker bought 500 m 2 at a cost of 400 tepizes/m , then how much did he pay in total,
in tepizes ?
Express your answer in tepizes.

ANSWER:
2.00105 tepizes
ANSWER:
1.25105 dollars
Hint 3. Find the price in New York
You know that the price of the fabric in New York is 120 dollars/yard2 . Thus, you need only to find the
number of square yards that the clothing maker purchased and then multiply to find the price in New York.
What would it have cost him to buy the fabric in New York?
Express your answer in dollars to three significant figures.
2
Hint 1. Determine how much cloth he bought in yard
You are given that 0.9144 m = 1 yard. Squaring both sides, you would get that
2
0.8361 m 2 = 1 yard . How much is 500 m 2 ?
Express your answer in yard2 to three significant figures.

ANSWER:
598 yard2
ANSWER:
7.18104 dollars
ANSWER:
5.3104 dollars
Still think that unit conversion isn't important?

Here is a widely publicized, true story about how failing to convert units resulted in a huge loss. In 1998, the Mars
Climate Orbiter probe crashed into the surface of Mars, instead of entering orbit. The resulting inquiry revealed that
NASA navigators had been making minor course corrections in SI units, whereas the software written by the probe's
makers implicitly used British units. In the United States, most scientists use SI units, whereas most engineers use the
British, or Imperial, system of units. (Interestingly, British units are not used in Britain.) For these two groups to be able to
communicate to one another, unit conversions are necessary.
The unit of force in the SI system is the newton (N), which is defined in terms of basic SI units as 1 N = 1 kg m/s 2 .
The unit of force in the British system is the pound (lb ), which is defined in terms of the slug (British unit of mass), foot (
ft ), and second (s) as 1 lb = 1 slug ft/s 2 .
Part B
Find the value of 15.0 N in pounds. Use the conversions 1 slug = 14.59 kg and 1 ft = 0.3048 m .
Express your answer in pounds to three significant figures.
When doing a unit conversion, you should begin by comparing the units you are starting with and the units
you need to finish with. In this problem, we have the following:
Starting unitsFinal units
kgm slugft
s2 s2
Notice that both have seconds squared in the denominator. You will only have to change the units in the
numerator. Match up the units that measure the same quantity (e.g., kilograms and slugs both measure
mass). Once you've done this, create a fraction (e.g., 1 hour/60 minutes ) based on conversion factors
such that the old unit is canceled out of the expression and the new unit appears in the position (i.e.,
numerator or denominator) of the old unit. In this problem, there are two pairs within the starting and final
units that must be converted in this way (i.e., kilograms/slugs and meters/feet).
Hint 2. Calculate the first conversion

The first step is to eliminate kilograms from the expression for newtons in favor of slugs. What is the value of
15 kg m/s 2 in slug m/s 2 ?
Express your answer in slug-meters per second squared to four significant figures.
ANSWER:
1.028
Follow the same procedure to replace meters with feet.
ANSWER:
15.0 N = 3.37 lb
Thus, if the NASA navigators believed that they were entering a force value of 15 N (3.37 lb ), they were
actually entering a value nearly four and a half times higher, 15 lb . Though these errors were only in tiny
course corrections, they added up during the trip of many millions of kilometers.
In the end, the blame for the loss of the 125-million-dollar probe was placed on the lack of communication
between people at NASA that allowed the units mismatch to go unnoticed. Nonetheless, this story makes
apparent how important it is to carefully label the units used to measure a number.
Consistency of Units
Description: Short quantitative problem on dimensional analysis. Requires that students manipulate physics
equations to find the units of certain unknown quantities. This problem is based on Young/Geller Quantitative
Analysis 1.3
In physics, every physical quantity is measured with respect to a unit. Time is measured in seconds, length is measured
in meters, and mass is measured in kilograms. Knowing the units of physical quantities will help you solve problems in
physics.
Part A
Gravity causes objects to be attracted to one another. This attraction keeps our feet firmly planted on the ground and
causes the moon to orbit the earth. The force of gravitational attraction is represented by the equation
F = Gmr12m 2 ,
where F is the magnitude of the gravitational attraction on either body, m 1 and m 2 are the masses of the bodies, r
is the distance between them, and G is the gravitational constant. In SI units, the units of force are kg m/s 2 , the
units of mass are kg, and the units of distance are m. For this equation to have consistent units, the units of G
must be which of the following?

To solve this problem, we start with the equation
Gm 1m 2
r2
F= .
For each symbol whose units we know, we replace the symbol with those units. For example, we replace m 1
with kg. We now solve this equation for G .
ANSWER:
kg 3
ms 2
kgs 2
m3
m3
kgs 2
m
kgs 2
Part B
One consequence of Einstein's theory of special relativity is that mass is a form of energy. This mass-energy
relationship is perhaps the most famous of all physics equations:
E = mc2 ,
where m is mass, c is the speed of the light, and E is the energy. In SI units, the units of speed are m/s. For the
preceding equation to have consistent units (the same units on both sides of the equation), the units of E must be
which of the following?

To solve this problem, we start with the equation
E = mc2 .
For each symbol whose units we know, we replace the symbol with those units. For example, we replace m
kg E
with kg. We now solve this equation for E .
ANSWER:
kgm
s
kgm2
s2
kgs 2
m2
kgm2
s
To solve the types of problems typified by these examples, we start with the given equation. For each symbol
whose units we know, we replace the symbol with those units. For example, we replace m with kg . We now
solve this equation for the units of the unknown variable.
