On the planet Zebulon, the standard unit for length is the kerflump (kf) and the standard unit for time is the zorch (zh). After many yecars of rescarch, you have determined that: 1 kerflump 1 zorch 2.115 meters (1 kf = 2.115 m) %3D %3D 3.025 seconds (1 zh = 3.025 s) %3D If you are driving at a speed of 83.5 mi/h, how fast are you going in terms of kerflumps per zorch (kf/zh)? NOTE: 1 mi = 1609 m.

A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m), (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P1.69. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled. Figure 1.69
On the planet Zebulon, the standard unit for length is the clorf (cl) and the standard unit for time is the beedle (be). After many years of research, you have determined that 1clort = 0.765 meters 1beedle = 1.957 seconds (1cl = 0.765m) (1be = 1.957s) If you are driving at a speed of 85mi / h , how fast are you going in terms of clorés per beedle (cl/be)? NOTE: 1 mi = 1609 m.
I was able to understand the attached problem and have the answer now for mu. So the equation I have is v=150e-6.0788 x My question, then, is how do we find the TIME to slow the sled to 15 mi/hr ? The answer is supposed to be 35.533 seconds, but I don't know how to get that. Thanks!

Assume your hair grows at a rate of 1/44th of an inch per day. How fast is that in nm/s (nanometers per second)? Given that a typical atom is on the order of 1 x 10^(-10) m in diameter (see Table 1.3 on page 18 of the textbook), at approximately what rate does the protein synthesis that assembles your hair strands deposit atoms in units of atoms per second? I need the second question to be rounded to 1 significant digit.
The nearest neutron star (a collapsed star made primarily of neutrons) is about 3.00 × 1018 m away from Earth. Given that the Milky Way galaxy (Fig. P1.63) is roughly a disk of diameter ~ 1021 m and thickness ~ 1019 m, estimate the number of neutron stars in the Milky Way to the nearest order of magnitude.

A biologist studies a species of bacteria called FAST, her research reveals that FAST bacteria reproduced prodigiously. If a bacteria culture contains 10 FAST bacteria at time t= 0, the number of FAST bacteria in the culture later time 't' is N(t) = 10 +6t +2t2 where 't' is expressed in seconds. How many bacteria occupy the culture a time t = 10s? At t =11s? Calculate how many net bacteria were born during the interval between t=10 and t=11, assume no bacteria died. Now use calculus to find the birth rate of bacteria (rate at which new bacteria get born) at time t=10s, it may help to sketch a rouch graphy of N vs 't'.
