1-1Responses to Questions1.(a)A particular person’s foot. Merits: reproducible. Drawbacks: not accessible to the general public;not invariable (size changes with age, time of day, etc.); not indestructible.(b)Any person’s foot. Merits: accessible. Drawbacks: not reproducible (different people havedifferent size feet); not invariable (size changes with age, time of day, etc.); not indestructible.Neither of these options would make a good standard.2.The distance in miles is given to one significant figure, and the distance in kilometers is given to fivesignificant figures! The value in kilometers indicates more precision than really exists or than ismeaningful. The last digit represents a distance on the same order of magnitude as a car’s length!The sign should perhaps read “7.0 mi (11 km),” where each value has the same number ofsignificant figures, or “7 mi (11 km),” where each value has about the same % uncertainty.3.The number of digits you present in your answer should represent the precision with which youknow a measurement; it says very little about the accuracy of the measurement. For example, if youmeasure the length of a table to great precision, but with a measuring instrument that is notcalibrated correctly, you will not measure accurately. Accuracy is a measure of how close ameasurement is to the true value.4.If you measure the length of an object, and you report that it is “4,” you haven’t given enoughinformation for your answer to be useful. There is a large difference between an object that is4 meters long and one that is 4 feet long. Units are necessary to give meaning to a numerical answer.5.You should report a result of 8.32 cm. Your measurement had three significant figures. When youmultiply by 2, you are really multiplying by the integer 2, which is an exact value. The number ofsignificant figures is determined by the measurement.6.The correct number of significant figures is three:sin 30.00.500.° =7.Useful assumptions include the population of the city, the fraction of people who own cars, theaverage number of visits to a mechanic that each car makes in a year, the average number of weeks amechanic works in a year, and the average number of cars each mechanic can see in a week.INTRODUCTION,MEASUREMENT,ESTIMATING1

1-2Chapter 1(a)There are about 800,000 people in San Francisco, as estimated in 2009 by the U.S. CensusBureau. Assume that half of them have cars. If each of these 400,000 cars needs servicing twicea year, then there are 800,000 visits to mechanics in a year. If mechanics typically work50 weeks a year, then about 16,000 cars would need to be seen each week. Assume that onaverage, a mechanic can work on 4 cars per day, or 20 cars a week. The final estimate, then, is800 car mechanics in San Francisco.(b)Answers will vary.Responses to MisConceptual Questions1.(d)One common misconception, as indicated by answers (b) and (c), is that digital measurementsare inherently very accurate. A digital scale is only as accurate as the last digit that it displays.2.(a)The total number of digits present does not determine the accuracy, as the leading zeros in (c)and (d) are only placeholders. Rewriting the measurements in scientific notation shows that (d)has two-digit accuracy, (b) and (c) have three-digit accuracy, and (a) has four-digit accuracy.Note that since the period is shown, the zeros to the right of the numbers are significant.3.(b)The leading zeros are not significant. Rewriting this number in scientific notation shows that itonly has two significant digits.4.(b)When you add or subtract numbers, the final answer should contain no more decimal places thanthe number with the fewest decimal places. Since 25.2 has one decimal place, the answer mustbe rounded to one decimal place, or to 26.6.5.(b)The word “accuracy” is commonly misused by beginning students. If a student repeats ameasurement multiple times and obtains the same answer each time, it is often assumed to beaccurate. In fact, students are frequently given an “ideal” number of times to repeat theexperiment for “accuracy.” However, systematic errors may cause each measurement to beinaccurate. A poorly working instrument may also limit the accuracy of your measurement.6.(d)This addresses misconceptions about squared units and about which factor should be in thenumerator of the conversion. This error can be avoided when students treat the units as algebraicsymbols that must be cancelled out.7.(e)When making estimates, students frequently believe that their answers are more significant thanthey actually are. This question helps the student realize what an order-of-magnitude estimationis NOT supposed to accomplish.8.(d)This addresses the fact that the generic unit symbol, like [L], does not indicate a specificsystem of units.Solutions to Problems1.(a)2143 significant figures(b)81 604 significant figures.(c)7 033 significant figures.

If held about 0.75 m from the eye, it can just block out theMoon. The ratio of pencil diameter to arm length is the same as the ratio of Moon diameter to Moondistance. From the diagram, we have the following ratios.
