Earths field lies in a line that is crossing
the wire at 45 below the horizontal. The
magnetic field would form a circular ring
in the clockwise direction (rising on the
south side of the wire, descending on the
north with a radius of 0.67 m). Therefore,
the field will cancel that of Earth on the

PART 2 Answers to End-of-chapter Conceptual Questions
Answers to End-of -chapter Conceptual Questi ons 61
Chapter 1
1. It is possible for an object to be accelerating
and at rest at the same time. For example, con-
sider an object that is thrown straight up in
the air. During its entire trajectory it is accel-
erating downward. At its maximum height it
has a speed of zero. Therefore, at that point it
is both accelerating and at rest.
2. A speedometer measures a cars speed, not its
velocity, since the speedometer gives no indi-
cation as to the direction of the cars motion.
3.
4. Displacement, velocity, and acceleration are
all vector quantities. Therefore, a negative dis-
placement, velocity, or acceleration is a nega-
tive vector quantity, which indicates that the
vectors direction is opposite to the direction
designated as positive.
5. The seconds are squared in the standard SI
unit for acceleration, m/s
2
, because accelera-
tion is the change in velocity per unit of time.
Therefore, the standard SI unit for accelera-
tion is (m/s)/s, which is more conveniently
written as m/s
2
.
6. Assume for all cases that north is positive and
south is negative.
a) Positiontime graph: The object sits
motionless south of the designated zero
point. The object then moves northward
with a constant velocity, crossing the zero
point and ending up in a position north of
the zero point.
Velocitytime graph: The object moves
southward with a constant velocity. The
object then slows down while still moving
southward, stops, changes direction, and
speeds up northward with a constant
acceleration.
b) Positiontime graph: The object starts at
the zero point and speeds up while moving
northward, then continues to move north-
ward with a constant velocity.
Velocitytime graph: The object starts at
rest and speeds up with an increasing
acceleration while moving northward. The
object then continues to speed up with a
constant acceleration northward.
c) Positiontime graph: The object starts
north of the zero point and moves south-
ward past the zero point with a constant
velocity. The object then abruptly slows
down and continues to move southward
with a new constant velocity.
Velocitytime graph: The object slows
down while moving northward, stops,
changes direction, and speeds up south-
ward with a constant acceleration. The
object then abruptly reduces the magni-
tude of its acceleration and continues to
speed up southward with a new constant
acceleration.
d) Positiontime graph: The object starts at
the zero point and moves northward and
slows down to a stop, where it sits motion-
less for a period of time. The object then
quickly speeds up southward and moves

past the zero point.
Velocitytime graph: The object starts at
rest and speeds up while moving north-
ward. The acceleration in this time period
is decreasing. The object then continues to
move northward with a constant velocity.
The object then slows down while moving
northward, stops, changes direction, and
speeds up southward with a constant accel-
eration.

8. In flying from planet A to planet B, you would
need to burn your spacecrafts engines while
leaving planet A in order to escape its gravita-
tional pull and then to make any necessary
course corrections, and while arriving at
planet B in order to slow down and stop.
Assuming there were no forces acting on the
craft in between, it would travel with constant
velocity once the engines were turned off.
9. A free-body diagram shows the forces acting
on an object, as these are the only forces that
can cause the body to accelerate. Since, by
Newtons third law, for every action force
there is a reaction force, equal in magnitude
and opposite in direction, then each of the
forces acting on an object is half of an
actionreaction pair. If both the action forces
and the reaction forces were included in a
free-body diagram, then all the forces would
cancel. For example, a free-body diagram for a
ball being kicked must not include the reac-
tion force provided by the ball on the foot, or
else the forces would cancel and the ball
would not accelerate.
10.
11. Dear Cousin,
You asked me to explain Newtons first law of
motion to you. Newtons first law of motion
states that an object will keep moving at a
constant speed in the same direction unless a
force makes it slow down, speed up, or change
direction. Heres an example. Suppose youre
pushing a hockey puck across the carpet.
When you let go, the puck quickly stops mov-
ing. This is because the carpet is not very slip-
pery; we say that it has a lot of friction. The
force of friction is making the puck slow
down. What if you slide the puck across a sur-
face with less friction, like ice? The puck will
take longer to stop moving, because the force
of friction is much less than on the carpet.
Now suppose you slide the puck across an air
hockey table. The force of friction is so small
that the puck will slide for a much, much
longer time. So, you can imagine sliding a
puck on a surface with no friction at all. The
puck never stops, because there is no force to
slow it down! Perhaps youre wondering
about a motionless object that isnt experienc-
ing a force why isnt it moving at a con-
stant speed in the same direction? But it is!
Zero is a constant speed.

12. The gravitational force applied by the Moon
on Earth does not cancel with the gravita-
tional force applied by Earth on the Moon
because these forces act on different bodies.
Only forces applied on the same body can pos-
sibly cancel one another.
13. When you fire a rifle, the forces applied to the
bullet and the rifle make up an actionreac-
tion pair. By Newtons third law, the force
applied to the bullet is equal and opposite to
its reaction force, the force applied to the rifle.
This reaction force causes the rifle and you to
recoil in the opposite direction.
14. While in the air, the balls vertical acceleration
is constant and equal to g 9.8 m/s
2
. The
ball travels the same distance upward as
downward, and therefore the balls speed is
the same when it reaches the ground as when
it leaves the ground, since its acceleration is
constant. Suppose the lengths of time it takes
the ball to travel upward and downward are t
1
and t
2
, respectively. We can use the equations
d
1
and d
2

for the distances travelled upward and down-
ward, respectively, where v
1i
and v
1f
are the
initial and final velocities during the upward
flight, respectively, and v
2i
and v
2f
are the ini-
tial and final velocities downward, respec-
tively. Since d
1
d

, we can write the
following equation:

On the left side, the final velocity upward, v
1f
,
is equal to zero. On the right side, the initial
velocity downward, v
2i
, is equal to zero. The
equation simplifies:

But v

is equal to v

and is not zero, and
therefore t

15. The ball is undergoing uniform circular
motion, as it is travelling in a circle at a con-
stant speed. Because its trajectory is curved, it
cannot be undergoing uniform motion, which
requires an object to be travelling at a con-
stant speed in a straight line.
Chapter 2
1. Frictional forces are forces that oppose motion.
A frictional force will only try to prevent an
object from moving, it will not actually cause
an object to move.
2. It is not possible to swing a mass in a horizon-
tal circle above your head. Since gravity is
always pulling down on the mass, an upward
component of the tension force is required to
balance gravity. As the speed of rotation
increases, the angle relative to the horizontal
may approach 0 but will never reach 0.
3. If the gravitational force downward and the
normal force upward are the only two vertical
forces acting on an object, we can be certain
that they are balanced if the object is not accel-
erating. If one of these forces were greater
than the other, the object would accelerate in
the direction of the greater force.
4. The most common way to describe directions

5. The bullets reach the ground in the same
amount of time. Recall that the horizontal and
vertical motions of each bullet are independent
of each other. Since both identical objects are
accelerating downward at the acceleration due
to gravity and they are both dropped from the
same height, it takes the same time for them to
reach the ground.
6. Dear Wolfgang,
You asked whether the time it takes to paddle
a canoe across a river depends on the strength
of the current. When you are paddling a canoe
across a river, the variables that determine
how long it takes are the width of the river
and the forward velocity of the canoe due to
your paddling. The canoes forward velocity
and the current velocity are perpendicular to
each other, so they dont affect each other. As
a result, the current does not affect the length
of time required to cross the river. The only
effect of the current on the motion of the
canoe is to cause it to move downstream from
where it would otherwise have landed.
7. The student who wants to apply the force
above the horizontal has the better idea. The
horizontal component of the applied force in
the direction of motion will be the same
regardless of whether the force is applied
above or below the horizontal. It is in the stu-
dents best interest to minimize the amount of
friction. Recall that the frictional force is
directly proportional to the normal force. If
they apply the force above the horizontal, this
will reduce the magnitude of the normal force
needed to be supplied by the floor on the sofa,
which will therefore reduce the frictional force
and make it easier to move the sofa. On the
other hand, if they apply the force below the
horizontal, this will increase the normal force
required and thereby increase the frictional
force, making it harder to move the sofa.
8. a) The baseballs velocity will be upward with a
magnitude less than its initial velocity. The
acceleration will be downward at 9.8 m/s

.
b) The baseballs velocity will be zero. The
acceleration will be downward at 9.8 m/s
2
.
c) The baseballs velocity will be downward
with the same magnitude as in a). The
acceleration will be downward at 9.8 m/s

9. You would still need a pitchers mound on the
Moon because the ball would still accelerate
downward due to gravity. Since the Moon has
a smaller mass than Earth, the acceleration
due to gravity on the Moon is less than that on
Earth. As a result, the height of the mound
would not have to be as great as that on Earth.
10. She could jump twice as far on a planet that

If the acceleration, a

11. As your bicycles rear tire spins, it takes water
with it due to adhesion. Inertia causes the
water to try to move in a straight line. As a
result, the water leaves the wheel with a veloc-
ity tangential to the tire and may spray your
back if your bicycle does not have a protective
rear fender.
12. Inertia causes the water in your clothing to try
to move in a straight line. If the drum in the
washing machine were solid, it would apply a
centripetal force on the water, which would
keep it moving in a circle. Since the drum has
holes in it, however, the water is able to leave
the drum as it spins.

13. The aircraft can be flown in one of two ways,
or a combination of these, to provide weight-
lessness. If the aircraft accelerates downward
at the acceleration due to gravity, the astro-
nauts inside the aircraft will experience
weightlessness. The other possibility is to
travel in a vertical arc. If the aircraft flies in a
vertical arc at such a speed that at the top of
the arc the gravitational force provides all the
centripetal force required to keep the aircraft
and its occupants travelling in a circle, they
will experience weightlessness.

1. Hydro lines and telephone cables cannot be
run completely horizontally because the force
of gravity acts downward on the entire wire
and there is very little means of counterbal-
ancing this force using supports.
2. a) The ladder is pushing directly into the wall
on which it is resting, normal to the sur-
face of the wall. With no friction, there is
no force to prevent the ladder from sliding
down the wall.
b) The force exerted by the ladder on the
ground is exactly equal to the force of grav-
ity (weight) of the ladder because there is
no vertical force due to friction. The only
force that acts vertically, upward or down-
ward, is the force of gravity.
3. Standing with your feet together or wide apart
makes no difference to the condition of static
equilibrium, since in both cases all forces are
balanced. In terms of stability, the wider
stance is more stable. A wider stance means a
lower centre of mass and a wider footprint.
This means there is a greater tipping angle for
this wider stance.
4. High-heeled shoes force the centre of mass of
the person wearing to move forward from its
normal position. To maintain balance, the
person must move the centre of mass back
again, usually by leaning the shoulders back-
ward. This effort can cause fatigue in the back
muscles.
5. Line installers allow a droop in their lines
when installing them because the droop
allows a moderate upward vertical application
of force as the wire curves upward to the sup-
port standards. This allows an upward force
to support the wire when loaded with freezing
rain and ice buildup. This droop means that
the tension to support the load can be much
less because of the greater angle.
6. A wrench can be made to more easily open a
rusty bolt by adapting the wrench so as to
apply more torque. More torque can be applied
by the same force by adding length to the
wrench handle.
7. The higher up on a ladder a person is, the far-
ther he is from the pivot point, which is the
point where the ladder touches the ground.
Therefore, the ladder will be more likely to
slide down the wall if the person stands on a
higher rung.
8. The torque varies as sin , where is the
angle between the pedal arm and the applied
force. The torque is at a minimum (zero)
when the pedals are vertical (one on top of
the other), because the force (weight) is
applied at 0 to the pedal arm, and sin 0 0.
The maximum torque is applied when the
pedals are horizontal, because the angle
between the pedal arm and the applied force is
90, and sin 90 1.
9. There is no extra benefit for curls to be done
to their highest position. As the forearm is
raised, the angle of the force of gravity vector
decreases at the same rate as the angle
between the muscle of effort and the arm. As
the forearm is raised, the effort required to lift
the arm decreases, but so does the muscles
ability to provide the effort.
10. Your textbook is sitting in stable equilibrium
when flat on your desk. When the book is bal-
anced on its corner, it is in unstable equilib-
rium. Motion in any direction will cause a
lowering of the centre of mass and a release of
gravitational potential energy, making the tip-
ping motion continue and thus making the
book fall.

11. In terms of stability, a walking cane provides a
wider base (footprint) over which the person
is balancing. It is harder to force the persons
centre of mass outside this wider support base.
12. When standing up from a sitting position, we
first must lean forward to move our centre of
mass over our feet to maintain stability.
Unless we first lean forward, our centre of
mass is already outside our support base and
it is impossible to stand up.
13. A five-legged chair base is more stable because
of the wider support base (footprint). The
extra leg effectively increases the tipping
angle, making the chair more stable.
14. Tall fluted champagne glasses must have a
wide base to improve the stability of the glass.
Recall that the tipping angle is given by the
expression tan
1
.
Therefore, the taller the glass, the greater the
height of the centre of mass, and the smaller
the tipping angle. A wider base increases the
tipping angle by compensating for the taller
glass.
15. The extra mass helps to mimic the mass of
the cargo and lowers the centre of mass of the
ship. Without this extra mass, the ship would
be top-heavy and more prone to capsizing,
especially in rough weather.
16. This figure is so stable because the design of
the toy places the effective centre of mass
below the balance point. A gentle push actu-
ally raises the centre of mass like a pendulum,
which increases the gravitational potential
energy, which tends to return the toy to its
stable equilibrium position.
17. The bone that has the smaller length will frac-
ture first if the same twisting stress is applied
to two bones of equal radius but different
lengths. This is due to the fact that the strain

on the longer bone will be much
smaller than that on the shorter bone, because
the length term appears in the denominator of
the expression for strain.
18. Lumber is used this way to support greater
spans because of the greater dimensions of
wood in the vertical direction. More wood
provides a means of supporting a greater
weight through a tension force throughout the
wood.
19. Concrete would not be an ideal material for a
cantilevered structure because of the differ-
ence in the way that this material deals with
tension and compression forces. A cantilever
would require a great tensile strength in the
upper layer and a great compressive strength
in the lower layer. Concrete has great com-
pressive strength but poor tensile strength.

1. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity;
p

mv

. Since velocity is a vector quantity, so


is momentum.
2. A system represents all the objects involved in
a collision. In a closed system, the boundary is
closed (that is, there are no interactions with
the external environment) and therefore the
net external force acting on the systems
objects as a group is zero. In an open isolated
system, the boundary is not closed but the net
external force acting on the system is zero.
3. The net force is used in the calculation of
impulse; J Ft.
4. Impulse is the change in momentum; J p.
5. In an isolated system, the net external force, F,
acting on the system is zero. Therefore, the
impulse, J, is zero (J Ft), and the change in
momentum, p, is zero (J p).
6. The law of conservation of (linear) momen-
tum states that the total momentum of an
isolated system before a collision is equal to
the total momentum of the system after the
collision. This can be expressed algebraically
as p
totalinitial
p
totalfinal
. Equivalently, in an isolated
system the change in momentum is zero;
p 0.
7. Yes, a ball thrown upward loses momentum as
it rises because there is a net external force

9. Assume that the astronauts initial momen-
tum is zero as he floats in space. By throwing
the monkey wrench in the opposite direction
of the space station, he would be propelled
toward the space station. This is an example
of Newtons third law: The total momentum
of the astronautwrench system would still be
zero after he threw the wrench.
10. A rocket can change its course in space by
ejecting any object or matter such as a gas.
Assuming that the total momentum of the
rocketgas system is conserved, the momen-
tum of the rocket will change as the gas is
ejected. This change in momentum will corre-
spond to an impulse, which will change the
course of the rocket.

12. As rain falls into the open-top freight car, the
car will slow down. Assuming that momen-

the combined mass of the car and the water

for solving momentum problems in which
trigonometry could not be used readily for
instance, problems involving more than two

15. a) Grocery clerks lean back when carrying
heavy boxes so that their centres of mass
stay in line with their feet.
b) The centre of mass of a system of masses is
the point where the masses could be con-
sidered to be concentrated or balanced
for analyzing their motion. This concept
can simplify momentum problems since
the momentum of the centre of mass is
equal to the total momentum before, and
after, a collision, and is conserved during
the collision.
Chapter 5
1. When you are holding your physics book
steady in your outstretched arm, there is no
work done because there is no displacement
(W Fd).
2. The momentum, p, of an object with mass m
is related to its kinetic energy, E
k
, according to
the equation p 2mE
k
. If a golf ball and a
football have the same kinetic energy then the
football has the greater momentum, since the
mass of the football is greater than the mass of
the golf ball.
3. A negative area under a forcedisplacement
graph represents negative work, which means
that the displacement is in the opposite direc-
tion of the force applied. For example, when
friction is slowing down a car, there is a posi-
tive displacement but a negative force.

5. When a spring diving board is compressed by
a diver jumping on it, the diving board pos-
sesses elastic potential energy. As the diving
board straightens out, it transfers its elastic
potential energy to the diver, who gains
kinetic and gravitational potential energy. As
the diver rises in the air, her kinetic energy is
transformed into potential energy until she
only has gravitational potential energy as she
reaches her highest point. As she descends
toward the pool, her potential energy is trans-
formed into kinetic energy and she increases
her speed as she falls. As she enters the pool
and slows down in the water, her kinetic
energy is transferred to the water as kinetic
energy, potential energy, and heat energy.

change. That point could be the ground level,
the basement level, or any other arbitrary
point.
9. In an elastic collision the total kinetic energy
is conserved, whereas in an inelastic collision
the total kinetic energy is not conserved. An
example of an (almost) elastic collision is a
collision between two billiard balls. An exam-
ple of an inelastic collision is a collision
between two vehicles in which their kinetic
energy is transferred to heat energy, sound
energy, and energy used to permanently
deform the vehicles.
10. No, the equation E
k
shows that if an
object has momentum then it must have
kinetic energy. The converse is also true, as
the equation also shows.
Chapter 6
1. We do not require the more general form of
Newtons law of universal gravitation because
for situations on or near the surface of Earth,
the values of G, M, and r can be assumed to
be specified constants. After these simplifica-
tions are made, the general form becomes
equivalent to the simpler form.
2. Due to the direction in which Earth rotates,
more energy would be required to reach the
same orbit if a spacecraft was launched
westward, since an eastward launch aids the
spacecraft.
3. The near side of the Moon is more massive
than the far side, possibly due to impacted
meteors. Over time this side was more
attracted to Earth, so that eventually the more
massive side came to face Earth all the time.
This is also true for the moons of Jupiter and
Saturn relative to their planets.
4. The force of gravity is the derivative of gravi-
tational potential energy, E
p
. Equivalently, the
force of gravity is the slope of the graph of E
p

5. Assuming that the spacecraft is initially in
orbit and that jettisoning a large piece of itself
does not significantly alter its momentum, it
will continue in the same orbit.
6. The velocity of a spacecraft in orbit is con-
stantly changing due to the centripetal force
acting on it. Therefore, if one spacecraft
points toward another and rockets in that
direction, the two spacecraft will not meet
because the added velocity vector of the first
spacecraft does not change as is required for
convergence.

tems are: engine braking (desired) as the

the power, which dampens piston movement;
swinging on a swing (undesired) the

Chapter 7
1. All objects on Earth that are stationary rela-
tive to Earths surface have the same angular
velocity, since they all complete one rotation
about Earths axis in the same amount of
time. However, they do not all have the same
tangential velocity, since they are not all the
same distance from Earths axis of rotation. If
is the angular velocity of an object on
Earths surface and r is the objects distance
from Earths axis of rotation then the objects
tangential velocity, v, is given by v r.
2. A differential mechanism is necessary to
allow a car to turn smoothly. The wheels on
the inside of a turn move through a smaller
radius than the wheels on the outside, thus
travelling a smaller arc distance in the same
amount of time. Therefore, the inside wheels
rotate at a smaller angular speed. In the
absence of a differential, however, the inside
and outside drive wheels (connected to the
motor) must rotate at the same angular speed.
To turn, you would have to lock up the inside
drive wheel, causing an uncontrolled turn.

The differential allows the drive wheels to

3. The top of the CN Tower, with the tower
located at the highest altitude on the equator,
would have the greatest tangential speed,
because in that case the top of the tower
would be the greatest distance from the axis
of rotation of Earth. However, since the height
of the CN Tower is negligible compared to the
radius of Earth, the variation in tangential
speed among different parts of the tower is
negligible.
4. A larger car tire has a greater moment of
inertia (greater radius and mass), thus in
principle more energy would be needed to
start turning the tire. Once the tire was mov-
ing, the law of inertia would apply and a
greater force would be needed to slow and
stop the tire, thus less energy would be
needed to keep the tire moving.
5. a) Yes, changing the tire size affects the
odometer reading. For example, a tire with
a larger radius than the calibrating tire cov-
ers a greater distance in the same number
of turns. In that case, the car will travel a
greater distance than what the odometer
indicates.
b) Yes, the speedometer reading is affected,
for the same reason. For example, a car
with larger tires will travel at a greater
speed than what the speedometer indicates.
6. The angular equivalents to force and displace-
ment are torque and angular displacement. No
linear work is done on an object if an applied
force does not change the displacement of the
object in the direction that the force is
applied. No rotational work is done if an
applied torque does not result in a change in
angular displacement.
7. No, angular momentum is conserved because
the diver is in fact still rotating as she enters
the water. There is no external torque applied
to the diver after she leaves the diving board.
Because the diver increases her moment of
inertia by extending out straight from a
tuck, her angular spin decreases. This is
not visually apparent as the diver then enters
the water out of sight of the spectators and
judges.
8. No, the centripetal force acting on a rider
varies depending on the radius of turn: the
larger the radius, the larger the centripetal
force. The riders on the outer part of the ride
swing out farther than the inner riders
because of the larger centripetal force.
9. According to the law of conservation of angu-
lar momentum, the total angular momentum
before the tape recorder was turned on high
speed was equal to the total angular momen-
tum after. When the tape recorder was turned
on high speed, the angular momentum of the
system had an added component in the angu-
lar direction of the turning tape. Voyager 2
rotated in the opposite direction to compen-
sate, although not as fast, since its moment of
inertia was much larger than the tape
recorders.
10. a) The hollow cylinder has a greater moment
of inertia than the solid one because the
hollow cylinders mass is concentrated far-
ther from the axis of rotation. However,
since there is no friction, there is no force
available to create the torque necessary to
turn the cylinders. Translational motion
does not depend on the distribution of
mass, so both objects accelerate at the same
rate and reach the base of the incline at the
same time.
b) As in part a), in the absence of friction the
cylinder does not roll. Therefore, both
objects slide down the ramp, accelerating at
the same rate (ignoring the effect of wind
resistance on the different shapes).
Translational motion does not depend on
the distribution of mass, so both objects
reach the ground at the same time.
11. A spinning projectile behaves like a gyroscope.
The spin means that the object possesses
angular momentum about its axis of rotation.
This allows the object to resist forces acting
on it as it travels, which in turn allows the
object to maintain its projectile motion.
70 Answers to End-of -chapter Conceptual Questi ons
Without the spin, uneven airflow over the sur-
face of the object would make it tumble, expe-
rience greater air resistance, and travel a
shorter distance.
12. If the wheel does not slip as it rolls then the
translational distance, d, that the axle moves is
equal to the arc length, s, along the outside of
the wheel. This is not true in the case of
squealing your tires.
13. Rotation axes can be anywhere, but for sim-
plicitys sake consider only some symmetric
ones. Ranked from least to greatest moment of
inertia, the rotation axis can pass through the
centre of the top and bottom (shown),
through the centre of the spine, through the
centre of the front and back cover, or run
diagonally from one corner to another.
14. The angular momentum of a Sunplanet sys-
tem is conserved. The force acting on the
planet is that of gravity due to the Sun. At any
instant in time, this force acts through the axis
about which the planet instantaneously
rotates. This means that the moment arm is
zero and no torque acts on the planet.
Therefore, the angular momentum of the
planet remains constant and the total momen-
tum of the system does not change.
15. It is easier to balance on a moving bike than
on a stationary one because of a combination
of the aspect called trail and gyroscopic
action.
16. The law of conservation of angular momen-
tum applies when a motorcycle is in mid-air.
In the absence of an external torque, the
increased angular momentum of the faster-
spinning rear wheel causes the entire motor-
cycle to rotate in the other direction in order
to keep the total angular momentum the same
as it was when the motorcycle left the ground.

1. A neutral object is attracted to a charged
object because the charged object induces a
charge separation in the neutral object. The
electrons in the neutral object are forced away
from or toward the charged object, depending
on whether the charged object has a negative
or positive charge, inducing an opposite
charge which acts to attract the two objects by
way of the law of electric forces.
2. The function of an electroscope is to detect an
electric field. An electric field will cause the
movement of electrons within an electroscope,
inducing similar charges to cluster at each of
the two pieces of dangling foil. The two pieces
of foil will repel each other, indicating the
presence of the electric field.
3. Rubbing the balloon against your dry hair
charges the balloon electrostatically. When the
balloon approaches the wall, the negative
charge forces the electrons in the ceiling away,
leaving the positive charges close to the sur-
face. The result is that the negatively charged
balloon attracts the now positively charged
ceiling surface.
4. The electrostatic series identifies silk as hav-
ing a greater affinity for electrons than acetate
does. When acetate and silk are rubbed
together, electrons move from the acetate to
the silk because of the different affinity the
materials have for electrons.
5. Choose two materials listed at either end of
the electrostatic series, such as acetate and
silk, and rub them together to place the pre-
dictable negative charge on the silk.
Neutralize the acetate and then rub it with the
mystery substance. Place the mystery sub-
stance next to the silk and judge whether the
mystery substance has a negative charge
(repulsion) or a positive charge (attraction).
A negative charge would place the mystery
substance below acetate in the electrostatic
series. Similarly, rubbing the mystery sub-
stance with silk would help to place the

silk. By selectively choosing different sub-
stances, you could narrow down the appropri-
ate spot for the mystery substance in the
electrostatic series.
6. Computer technicians touch the metallic part
of a computer before repair, assuming it is still
plugged into the wall outlet, so that they
ground themselves from any excess charge.

8. Field lines show the direction of the net force
on a test charge in an electric field. Two
crossed field lines would mean that there
would be two net forces acting on a test
charge in two different directions at the same
time. This is impossible, since there is only
one net force at any point, which is only one
force in one direction by definition.
9. In an electric field, charges always move along
the direction described by the field lines. The
direction in which a charge moves along a
field line depends on the sign of the charge.
A positive charge will move in the direction
described by the arrows in a field diagram,
whereas a negative charge will move in the
opposite direction.
10. a) When a polar charged rod is placed perpen-
dicular to electric field lines, the rod will
tend to rotate such that it will become par-
allel to the field lines. The positive end of
the rod will point in the same direction in
which the field lines are oriented.
b) When a polar charged rod is placed parallel
to electric field lines, the rod will tend to
stay in the same orientation if its positive
end is pointing in the same direction as the
field lines. Otherwise, the rod will tend to
rotate 180 and point in the opposite direc-
tion (still parallel to the field lines).
11. Each point charge experiences an identical
force of repulsion from all of the other point
charges, so that they are all repelled symmetri-
cally outward from the centre of the orienta-
tion. A test charge placed outside of the circle
would experience a net force directed along
radial lines inward to the centre of the circle,
as shown in the diagram. A test charge placed
inside of the circle would experience no net
force, and therefore there would be no electric
field inside the circle at all.
This charge distribution models the electric
field inside a coaxial cable because the outer
braided conductor in a coaxial cable acts as
the site modelled by the ring of charge
described above. This ring acts to eliminate
the field within the entire cable.
12. By definition, the electric potential is the same
at any point along an equipotential line.
Therefore, no force is required, and no work
is done, to move a test charge along this line.
In a situation like this, a constant force causes
the constant acceleration of the test charge.
13. We use the term point charge to imply that
the charge has no larger physical dimensions.
Larger dimensions would mean that the
charge would exist within a region of space
instead of at a specific location. This implica-
tion reduces the number of variables and
simplifies questions that deal with the distri-
bution of charges within a three-dimensional
space. Any other approach would require
some way of accounting for the variability of
distances between charges.

14. Statement: In each case the field gets
stronger as you proceed from left to right.
False
Reasoning: The field lines remain the same
distance apart as you move from left to right
in the field in (b), so the field does not change
in strength.
Statement: The field strength in (a) increases
from left to right but in (b) it remains the
same everywhere. True
Reasoning: The field lines become closer
together as you move from left to right in the
field in (a), so the field does increase in
strength, whereas the field lines in (b) are par-
allel, so the field strength does not change.
Statement: Both fields could be created by a
series of positive charges on the left and nega-
tive ones on the right. False
Reasoning: Although true for (b), (a) must
be created by a single positive point charge at
the base of the four arrows.
Statement: Both fields could be created by a
single positive point charge placed on the
right. False
Reasoning: As described above, a point
charge could be responsible for (a), but (b)
would require rows of parallel opposites such
as those in oppositely charged parallel plates.
15. Electric fields are more complicated to work
with because the forces that charges exert on
each other are all significant. In contrast, the
gravitational force between small masses is
negligible compared with the gravitational
force exerted on them by large masses like
Earth.
16. The field shape around a single negative point
charge is exactly like that around a single posi-
tive point charge with the exception that for a
negative point charge, the arrows are all point-
ing inward instead of outward, as shown in
the following diagram.
17. Doubling the value of the test charge will do
nothing to the measurement of the strength of
the electric field. The force on the test charge
will double because of the change to the test
charge, but the field strength is measured as
the force experienced per unit charge,


q
F

t
.
Therefore, the doubling of the test charge and
the doubling of the force will cancel, leaving
the measurement of the field strength
unchanged.
18. The stronger an electric field is, the closer
together the field lines are. Therefore, a weak
electric field has field lines that are farther
apart than the field lines of a strong electric
field.
19. Both gravitational fields and electric fields are
made up of lines of force that are directed in a
way that a test item would be forced.
Gravitational fields are created by and influ-
ence masses, whereas electric fields involve
charges. Gravitational fields are always attrac-
tive. Electric fields can be attractive or repul-
sive, since they can exert forces in opposite
directions depending on the charge of the
object that is experiencing the field.
20. The direction of an electric field between a
positive charge and a negative charge is from
the positive charge toward the negative charge,
since electric fields are always directed the
way that a positive test charge would be
forced.
21. The electric potential energy is greater
between two like charges than between two
unlike charges the same distance apart
because of the differing sign of the electric
potential energy. The calculation of the

Answers to End-of -chapter Conceptual Questi ons 73


electric potential energy involves multiplying
the two charges. The product of two like
charges is positive and therefore greater than
the product of two unlike charges, which is
negative.
22. A high-voltage wire falling onto a car pro-
duces a situation in which there is a high-
potential source (the wire) very close to a
low-potential region (the ground). The people
in the car will be safe from electrocution as
long as they do not complete a circuit between
this high and low electric potential. They
should not open the car door, for example, and
step to the ground while maintaining contact
with the car.
23. Although opposite electric charges occur at
the two plates of a parallel-plate apparatus
when it is connected to a power supply, the
overall charge on the apparatus remains zero.
For every charge at one plate, there is an oppo-
site charge at the other plate, which balances
the overall charge to zero.
24. a) If the distance between the plates is dou-
bled then the field strength between the
plates will be halved.
b) If the charge on each plate is doubled then
the field strength will double.
c) If the plates are totally discharged and neu-
tral then the field strength will drop to
zero.
25. Two point charges of like charge and equal
magnitude should be placed side by side so
that both the electric field strength and the
electric potential will be zero at the midpoint
between the charges. If one of the two like
charges were doubled, the field strength and
the potential would both be zero at a point
two-thirds the separation distance away from
the doubled charge.
26. In the presence of electric fields, a field
strength and a potential of zero would exist at
a point where the sum of all electric forces
was zero. In question 25, the sum of the repul-
sive forces from each of the two like charges is
zero at some point between the two charges.
27. If a proton and an electron were released at a
distance and accelerated toward one another,
the electron would reach the greater speed just
before impact. The reason is that both parti-
cles would be acted upon by the same force of
attraction, but the electron has less mass. The
acceleration of each particle is
described by the formula a


m
F

, which
shows that for the same force, the smaller
mass would have the greater acceleration over
the same time period and therefore the greater
final speed.
28.
This type of motion is like upside-down pro-
jectile motion, since the charge moves in a
parabolic path. This is the type of motion that
an object would take if it were thrown hori-
zontally in Earths gravitational field. The
only difference here is that this charge appears
to be falling upward instead of downward.
29. No, a parallel-plate capacitor does not have
uniform electric potential. It does have uni-
form field strength between the two plates,
but the potential varies in a linear fashion
from one plate to the other. By definition, the
electric potential is uniform along any equipo-
tential line, which in this case is any line par-
allel to the two plates.

31. a) The electrostatic interaction responsible
for the large potential energy increase at
very close distances is the repulsion
between the two positive nuclei.
b) This repulsion of the nuclei, and the asso-
ciated increase in electric potential energy,
is one of the main stumbling blocks for
generating energy through nuclear fusion.
This repulsion between nuclei means that
q
74 Answers to End-of -chapter Conceptual Questi ons
a very large amount of energy is required
to begin the reaction process.
c) The smaller increase in electric potential
energy upon separation of the two atoms is
caused by the attraction between the posi-
tively charged nucleus in each atom and
the negatively charged electron in the other
atom.
d) A stable bond is formed when two hydro-
gen atoms are about 75 pm apart because
this is the distance at which the electric
potential energy is minimized any closer
and the repulsion between nuclei pushes
the atoms apart, any farther away and the
nucleus-electron attraction draws the
atoms closer together.
32. A positive test charge moving along a line
between two identical negative point charges
would experience a topography similar to a
vehicle moving up a hill (away from one
charge), increasing the vehicles gravitational
potential energy, and then rolling down the
other side of the hill (toward the other
charge).
a) If the two identical point charges were
both positive, the hill would change to a
valley with the lowest part in the middle.
b) If a negative test charge was placed
between the two identical positive charges,
the topography would still resemble a val-
ley but now there would be a very deep
crater at the lowest part of the valley.

1. The law of magnetic forces states that like
(similar) magnetic poles repel one another
and different (dissimilar) poles attract one
another, even at a distance.
2. A magnet can attract non-magnetic materials
as long as they are ferromagnetic in nature.
The magnet causes the internal domains
(small magnets) of a ferromagnetic substance
to line up in such a way that a new magnet is
induced in the substance such that there are
opposite magnetic poles which attract one
another.
3. A material that is attracted to a magnet or that
can be magnetized is called ferromagnetic.
Examples of ferromagnetic materials include
materials made from iron, nickel, or cobalt.
These materials are ferromagnetic because
they have internal domains that can be readily
aligned, due to the fact that these materials
have unpaired electrons in their outermost
electron energy level.
4. Magnets can lose their strength over time
because their domains, which initially are
aligned (pointing in the same direction), can
become randomized and point in other direc-
tions. This randomizing of the domains
reduces the overall strength of the entire mag-
net.
5. When a magnet is dropped or heated up, the
domains of the magnet, which initially are
aligned (pointing in the same direction), can
be disrupted and forced to point in other, ran-
dom directions. This randomizing of the
domains reduces the overall strength of the
entire magnet.

hand when applying right-hand rule #1 for
current flow. From your perspective, the mag-
netic field forms circular formations in the
clockwise direction in and around the com-
puter monitor. Relative to the direction of the
electron beam, the magnetic field is directed in
the counterclockwise direction around the
beam.
8. A wire possessing an eastbound conventional
(positive) current has an associated circular
magnetic field that points upward on the
north side of the wire and downward on the
south side.
9. The magnetic field strength of a coil (an insu-
lated spring) varies inversely with the length
of the coil. Therefore, a reduction in the coil
length to half its original length will cause a
doubling of the magnetic field strength. This
all depends on the assumption that the length
of the coil is considerably larger than its diam-
eter.
10. a) For the force applied to a current-carrying
conductor to be at a maximum, the mag-
netic field must cross the conductor at an
angle of 90.
b) For the force applied to a current-carrying
conductor to be at a minimum, the mag-
netic field must cross the conductor at an
angle of 0.
11. According to right-hand rule #3 for the motor
principle, the direction of the force on the con-
ductor will be to the north.
12. An electron moving vertically downward that
enters a northbound magnetic field will be
forced toward the west.
13. A current-carrying solenoid produces a mag-
netic field coming directly out of one end of
the coil and into the other end. An electron
passing by either end of this coil experiences a
force that is at right angles to its motion. As
this force changes the direction of motion (a
centripetal force), the electron takes on a
curved path (circular motion). Application of
the appropriate right-hand rules predicts that
the electrons motion will curve in the same
direction as the direction of conventional cur-
rent flow through the coil.
14. The cathode rays will be deflected away from
the current-carrying wire, moving in a plane
that contains the wire.
15. Current passing through a helical spring will
produce a situation very similar to having two
parallel conductors with a current flowing in
the same direction. Application of the appro-
priate right-hand rules predicts that the mag-
netic field interaction between each pair of
the helical loops will force the spring to com-
press, reducing its length.
16. Current passing through a highly flexible wire
loop will tend to result in magnetic field inter-
actions that will force apart nearby sections of
the wire, so that the wire loop will most likely
(if the proper conditions exist) straighten out.
17. Faradays principle states that a magnetic field
that is moving or changing in intensity in the
region around a conductor causes or induces
electrons to flow in the conductor. To improve
the electromotive force induced in a conduc-
tor, we can increase the magnetic field
strength, the length of the conductor, and the
strength of the current flowing through the
conductor.
18. Current can be induced to flow in a conductor
if the conductor is moving with respect to a
magnetic field. The maximum induced current
occurs if the conductor and the field cross
each other at right angles.
19. Lenzs law states that the direction of the
induced current creates an induced magnetic
field that opposes the motion of the inducing
magnetic field. Lenz derived this law by rea-
soning that a decrease in kinetic energy in the
inducing magnetic field must compensate for
the increase in the electric potential energy of
the charges in the induced current, according
to the law of conservation of energy. This
decrease in kinetic energy is felt as an opposi-
tion to the inducing magnetic field by an
induced magnetic field.

20. The induced current can only create a mag-
netic field that opposes the action of move-
ment (conductor or field) in order to follow
the law of conservation of energy and Lenzs
law. If the motion were not opposed and the
induced magnetic field instead boosted the
motion, this would increase the kinetic energy
of the moving conductor or magnet, which
would violate the law of conservation of
energy.
21. a) Electromagnetic brakes might work by
using the undesirable motion of the vehicle
to provide the energy to induce current
flow in a conductor. The resulting creation
of electrical energy would be at the expense
of the kinetic energy of the vehicle, which
would slow down. This would be a case of
energy being transformed from one form to
another, following the law of conservation
of energy.
b) Electromagnetic induction brakes would be
capable of recovering some of the kinetic
energy of a vehicle that is normally lost as
heat in conventional brakes, thereby saving
money. The electrical energy generated
could be used to recharge the battery for an
electric vehicle/hybrid.

1. The motion of a vibrating spring can be mod-
elled mathematically by a sine wave, which
resembles (visually) an electromagnetic wave.
As well, both waves are periodic.
2. The magnetic field is induced by the electric
field and thus they would both decrease. If
one component vanishes then the electromag-
netic radiation ceases to exist.
3. Visible light is relative to the human being

5. When metallic objects are placed in a
microwave oven, they can absorb electromag-
netic microwaves, which dislocate loose elec-
trons in the metal and allow charges to build
up on the surfaces, until the cumulative
charge is large enough to jump across an air
gap to another conductive material in the
oven, causing a spark.
6. Simple harmonic motion refers to a physical
state where the restoring force, acting on an
object when it is pulled away from some equi-
librium position, is proportional to the dis-
placement of the object from the equilibrium
position. Since there is a net force acting on
the object, it experiences an acceleration, and
thus the speed cannot be constant.
7. If a circle is viewed edge-on, with a dot
painted on the edge, and the circle is spun, the
dot will seem to exhibit simple harmonic
motion as it moves around the circle. From
the edge it will seem as if the dot is moving
back and forth, constantly passing the equilib-
rium position.
8. Electron oscillators absorb energy from the
incoming wave, causing it to be retarded.
When this secondary wave interferes with the
incident wave, a phase lag is created retarding
the wavefront, slowing it down.
9. Newtons theory of refraction predicts that
light speeds up as it changes direction. This is
incorrect since light decreases its speed when
bending toward the normal. You can show his
theory by rolling a marble across a boundary
between a flat area and an incline. As the
marble crosses the boundary, it bends toward
a line drawn perpendicular to the edge but it
speeds up.

10. One example of an invisible medium is a vac-
uum. The refractive index of a vacuum is
1.00. When the refractive index is 1.00, there
is no component of an incoming light ray that
is reflected. Since no light is reflected, the
medium is invisible. Another possibility is
that the medium is of the same refractive
index as the environment.
11. Using a laser, which is a powerful coherent
source of visible light, you can measure the
refraction of the ray as it enters a medium, or
the extent of polarization upon reflection
and/or transmission, all of which can be com-
bined to calculate the optical density of the
medium.
12. Because the refractive index is wavelength
dependent, when white light refracts through
a material, each component of light bends
slightly differently. This separates the light.
If the separation is great enough, dispersion
occurs.
13. As light passes through a prism, both refrac-
tions cause the light to refract in the same spa-
tial direction. This accentuates the spreading
of the colours.
14. No, sound waves cannot be polarized. Sound
waves are mechanical waves and refer to com-
pressions and rarefactions within a medium.
Sound waves have only one component, not
two like electromagnetic waves, and thus
polarization is impossible.
15. A polarizer and an analyzer are both thin
pieces of film. They are given different names
based on the order in which a wave enters
them. If two pieces of thin film are positioned
side by side, the first one struck by the wave is
known as the polarizer and the second one
the analyzer. If the two are flipped, the ana-
lyzer will become the polarizer and the polar-
izer will become the analyzer.
16. The lenses in polarized sunglasses are nor-
mally oriented in such a way as to restrict the
passage of plane-polarized light reflecting off
the surface of the ground and water (glare). If
the lenses are rotated, they will no longer
block the glare.
17. Yes, the effectiveness of Polaroid sunglasses
varies as the relative positions of the Sun and
the horizon vary, since the distribution of
scattered angles varies as well. The amount of
polarization is angle dependent, hence the
effectiveness of the glasses varies.
18. No, Polaroid sunglasses are not effective on
circularly polarized light, which is composed
of the two polarization directions combined in
a specific phase relationship causing the direc-
tion of the electric field vector to rotate
around. The linear polarizer cannot block out
both components, hence light is transmitted.
19. With a powerful light source, you can easily
notice that light reflects off dust particles in
the air. Sometimes, depending on the size of
the particles, certain frequencies of the elec-
tromagnetic spectrum are deflected/reflected
more than others. This effect causes a certain
colour to appear in the medium (for example,
the blue colour of the sky). By noting the
colour, you can determine the frequency and
thus the wavelength of light associated with
that colour. Once you know the wavelength,
you can calculate the approximate size of the
particles that would deflect waves of those fre-
quencies. Also, you can use the intensity of
the colour to estimate the density of the parti-
cles in the air.
20. Polarization: Electric fields of electromagnetic
radiation behave sinusoidally. The direction of
these fields is randomly oriented in any direc-
tion for unpolarized light. Two components
are obtained by using plane polarizers. The
two components can be combined using the
wave equation ( sin t) to form circularly or
elliptically polarized light.
Scattering: The wavelength of light, , compa-
rable to the size of particles in the air creates
the maximum scattering. The extent of scat-
tering of light by air molecules is proportional

Refraction: Using wavefronts, Snells law of

3. The film on a soap bubble is thicker at the

4. As the gasoline evaporates, it becomes thin-

5. A camera lens has a thickness and material
designed to block out certain colours, whereas
a car windshield does not. These properties of

b) Changing peoples environments through
innovation can leave people feeling not in
control, especially in cases where a new
technology has the possibility of replacing
people in jobs.
c) Accepting theories prematurely hinders
progress, since it discourages research.
8. No, there are no interference patterns because
the two car headlights are not coherent light
sources and do not form a double slit.
9. Any imperfections are in the order of magni-
tude of the wavelengths of light used for the
experiment. This washes out the effect with
its own random interference patterns.
10. Sound waves are comparable in wavelength
size to the openings, increasing the diffractive
effect. Light waves have much smaller wave-
lengths and hence do not show these effects.
11. The resolving power of your eyes restricts
your ability to distinguish between objects at
great distances. This is because your pupils
are circular, allowing diffraction to occur.
12. No, diffraction patterns place a limit on
resolving power as well as the magnitude of
the wavelength of light used.
13. Both spectroscopes separate white light into
its colour components, but the prism spectro-
scope uses refraction and dispersion while the
grating spectroscope uses diffraction.
14. Continuous spectra involve an extensive range
of frequencies (example: sunlight spectrum).
With line spectra, on the other hand, discrete
frequencies are observed (example: molecular
gas spectrum).
15. Each piece of a hologram contains the com-
plete interference pattern of the object from
which the hologram was created, whereas a
piece of a normal photograph contains only
local information and nothing about the com-
plete photograph.
16. Diffraction gratings and interference gratings
are really the same thing. Diffraction gratings
actually use the interference superposition
formula. Gratings show both effectsthose
due to the width of a single opening and the
combination of all the openings.
17. Close spacing in a grating provides strong
mutual coupling, increasing the effect of inter-
ference. The separation of the maxima increases.
18. Gratings with many slits have high resolving
power. This means that the individual max-
ima become sharper.
19. Yes, because increasing the number of slits
decreases the slit separation. If the slit separa-
tion is reduced beyond what is comparable to
the wavelength of light, no light will get
through.
20. A single slit has a double central maximum,
with the intensities of the maxima dropping
off dramatically with order number. A diffrac-
tion grating has a single central maximum and
the intensities do not drop off as dramatically.

21. Diffraction occurs as light enters the pupil.
This places a limit on the eyes resolving
power. As you move away from the picture,
sooner or later you cannot distinguish
between the dots and they blend together to
form a continuous picture.
22. Electrons have a smaller wavelength to
that of visible light, and therefore have a
higher resolution. This also minimizes
diffraction. In fact, the beams of electrons
have an effective wavelength that is 10
5
times
that of visible light. This is a 100 000-fold
increase in resolution.
Chapter 12
1. A photon is a unit particle (as opposed to
wave) of electromagnetic radiation that moves
at the speed of light. Its energy is proportional
to the frequency of the radiation.
2. Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun is very
energetic due to its high frequency. The pho-
tons that possess this energy are the cause of
sunburn. These photons are energetic enough
to remove electrons from our body cells, caus-
ing a change in our skin biology and in severe
cases causing cancer.
3. Visual light is mostly in the infrared-visual
spectrum. The energy of these photons is not
sufficient to damage skin cells.
4. If h 0, quantization would not exist. There
would be no energy levels in atoms. Electrons
in atoms would therefore not attain any real
value for energy, resulting in the absence of
orbitals in atoms.
5. The electron volt (eV) corresponds to the
energy of an electron at a potential of one
volt. Hence, one electron volt is the energy
equalling the charge of an electron multiplied
by the potential of one volt: 1 eV q
e
1 V.
6. Wiens law relates the wavelength of photons
to the temperature of the black body.
7. W
0
, the work function, is the amount of energy
required to produce the photoelectric effect in a
given metal. It is the minimum energy required
to liberate electrons from a metal.
8. Since the photons have detectable linear
momentum, their mass equivalence can be
computed. Momentum is an intrinsic property
of matter, therefore we can assume that mass
equivalency is correct.
9. An empirical relationship is a relationship
that is determined experimentally. It is not
backed up by theory.
10. Determinacy is a condition of a measurement
being characterized definitely. An example of
an everyday event could be a repetitive meas-
urement of the length of a table. Each time the
measurement is made, errors are encountered.
If determinacy existed at the macroscopic
level, we would get the same length every
time.
11. The computation of uncertainties using
Heisenbergs uncertainty principle yields
minute values for speed and position. The lim-
itations of human perception prevent us from
experiencing such minute variances at the
macroscopic level.
12. Another device besides the STM that operates
using the principle of quantum tunnelling is
the electron tunnelling transistor, which is an
on-off switch that uses the ability of an elec-
tron to pass through impenetrable energy
obstacles.
13. The energy of an orbital varies as the inverse
square of the radius. Hence, the spectral lines
are closer together farther away from the
nucleus.
14. a) The peak wavelength emitted by a mercury
lamp lies in the visual spectrum. However,
this implies that there is a tail in the ultra-
violet spectrum. The ultraviolet photons
are energetic enough to damage skin cells.
b) An appropriate shielding that blocks ultra-
violet light but allows photons in the visual
spectrum to pass through could be used.

16. According to Planck, the energy is quantized.
The angular momentum is certainly related to
the energy. Hence, the angular momentum
needs to be quantized as well. To quantize L,
Bohr had to quantize both the velocity, v, and
the radius, r.
17. Although the initial and the final speed and
the scatter angles are known, the manner in
which the actual collision occurs cannot be
precisely predicted, and the exact position of
the particles during the collision is not
known. Hence, the uncertainty principle is
not violated.

1. Your car is in an inertial frame when it is
stopped, or when it is moving at a steady
speed in a straight line. Your car is in a
non-inertial frame when it is accelerating,
such as when you are braking, or when you
are making a turn.
2. Donovans reference frame is inertial because
the 100-m dash is in a straight line. Leahs
frame is non-inertial because the 400-m oval
requires her to constantly change direction.
3. No, without reference to the outside world,
it would be difficult to determine whether
the cruise ship was at rest or moving with a
constant velocity.
4. Suppose v swim speed and w water
speed. To swim upstream and back down,
it would take a total time of:

To swim straight across the stream (perpendi-
cular to the current) and back, it would take a

But v v

Therefore it would take longer to swim

5. The Michelson-Morley null result led to the
development of special relativity, a tool needed
in the understanding of high-energy physics.
6. Analogous to the Doppler shift of sound, the
constant speed of light in a vacuum, c, requires
the wavelength of the approaching amber light
to shorten or become more yellowish.
7. In terms of Einsteins first postulate involving
relative motion, the two situations are equiva-
lent. The same physics occurs whether a mag-
net is moved into a stationary coil or a coil is
moved around a stationary magnet.
8. Proper time is the time measured by one
watch between the beginning and the end of
the experiment. This is the time measured by
a watch moving with the muon. The scientists
of Earth would require at least two watches,
one at the birth of the muon and the other at
its disintegration.
9. The relativity equation for length is
L L
0

. If v > c, then

is
negative and L becomes imaginary, which is
not physically reasonable.
10. Since the electrons would have a greater rela-
tive velocity than the protons, the space
between the electrons would be more con-
tracted. As a result, the concentration of elec-
trons would exceed that of the protons, and
the wire would seem negatively charged. For
this reason magnetism is a result of special rel-
ativity.

11. No, you have not travelled faster than the
speed of light. Instead, you have measured the
Earthstar distance to be contracted and thus
it took less time to travel at your speed of
v 0.98c.
12. No, although time is dilated (events seem
longer at relativistic speeds), it cannot slow
to a complete standstill unless v c.
13. In both cases of the Doppler shift for sound,
there is a shift to higher frequencies. However
the physics of sound waves generated by a
moving vibrating source colliding with air
molecules and perceived by a stationary
receiver is different from that of sound created
by a stationary source and perceived by a
moving source. For light, the frequency shift
depends only on the relative speed of the
source and receiver because the speed of light
is always c, according to the second postulate.
14. Only Barb is correct in saying that Phillips
clock ran slow, because his time was the
proper time that was at the beginning and fin-
ish of his experiment. If Phillip observed sta-
tionary Barb doing a similar experiment
beside the train, he would be correct in saying
that her clock ran slow.
15. If the charge of an electron depended on its
speed then the neutrality of atoms would be
upset by the motion of electrons within the

charge on an electron is the same at all speeds.

that they observed the same things about us,
due to relative motion.
20. No, according to the second postulate of spe-
cial relativity, the light leaving the receding
mirror travels with speed c relative to you.
21. Tachyons or particles that travel with a speed
greater than c would seem to require infinite
energy. Experiments do not support their exis-
tence.
22. Particle A would have the greater speed
because its total energy due to mass dilation
(mc

) is three times its rest energy, whereas
particle B has a total energy dilated by a factor
of only two.

for that reason the rest energy of the water is

24. If you consider that energy is equivalent to
mass (E mc

in the form of light could be considered to
have an equivalent mass.

(0.511 0.000 100) MeV

This means that its mass is less than 0.02%
greater than its rest mass. A 100-MeV electron
has a mass equivalent to (0.511 100) MeV
of energy, which means that its mass is about
197 times its rest mass.
26. When we say that the rest mass of a muon is
106 MeV/c

, we mean that its rest energy is
equivalent to the kinetic energy of an electron
accelerated from rest through 106 million volts.

Chapter 14
1. Every atom of the same element has the same
number of protons, and the number of protons
in the nucleus, Z, determines the chemical
properties of the atom. However, atoms of dif-
ferent isotopes of the same element have dif-
ferent numbers of neutrons (and thus different
A values), which results in different physical
properties such as nuclear stability or decay.
2. Many elements are composed of several natu-
rally occurring isotopes, each with a different
atomic mass number, A. The weighted average
of the isotopes mass numbers often results in
a non-integral value for the atomic mass of
that element.
3. Each nuclear isotope has a unique total bind-
ing energy determined by its nuclear struc-
ture. This binding energy is equivalent to the
mass difference between the nucleus and its
constituent nucleons (protons and neutrons)
according to E mc
2
.
4. The missing mass was converted to energy
of various forms such as gamma radiation
emitted during the formation of the deuterium
atom.
5. Your body, composed of many elements, likely
has more neutrons than protons, since stable
atoms with A > 20 have more neutrons than
protons.
6. During a nuclear reaction, nucleons may be
converted from one type to another, such as
neutrons to protons in beta decay. However,
the total nucleon number is conserved or
remains constant. On the other hand, various
forms of energy may be absorbed or emitted,
resulting in an equivalent change in mass.
7. The average binding energy per nucleon is
greater in the more stable isotopes because it
is the glue holding the nucleons together, or
the average amount of energy needed to break
them apart.
8. During alpha decay of a uranium-238 nucleus,
for example, the
N
Z
ratio of the parent nucleus
is
1
9
4
2
6
or about 1.59, and the ratio of the
daughter nucleus, , is or about
1.60. This leads to greater nuclear stability by
reducing the electrical repulsion of the pro-
tons relative to the nuclear attraction of
nucleons. During beta decay, the
N
Z
ratio of
the parent nucleus,
1
9
4
2
6
or about 1.59, is
greater than the ratio of the daughter nucleus,
, which is or about 1.56.
Although the greater ratio of protons to neu-
trons in the daughter tends to increase the
electrical repulsive forces, the beta-decay
process can lead to greater nuclear stability
through the pairing of previously unpaired
neutrons or protons in the nuclear shells.
9. During alpha decay, the daughter nucleus has
a mass, M, that is much larger than the mass
of the alpha particle, m. Since momentum is
conserved, the velocity of the daughter
nucleus, v, is much smaller than the velocity
of the alpha particle, V (Mv mV).
Therefore, the kinetic energy of the alpha par-
ticle, 0.5mV
2
, is much greater than that of the
daughter nucleus, 0.5Mv
2
.
10. If an alpha particle had enough initial kinetic
energy to contact a gold nucleus then a
nuclear process such as fusion or fission could
occur, because at that closeness the short-
range nuclear force would overpower the
electrical force of proton repulsion that is
responsible for scattering.

12. The strong nuclear force differs from the elec-
trical force in that: (i) the strong nuclear force
is very short-range, acting over distances of
only a few femtometres (10

strong nuclear force is much stronger than the
electrical force over nuclear distances of 1 or
2 fm; (iii) the strong nuclear force does

as does the
electrical force; and (iv) the strong nuclear
force is attractive only, acting between all
nucleons (protonproton, protonneutron,
and neutronneutron).
13. The rate of decay of radioactive isotopes was
not affected by combining them in different
molecules or by changing the temperature.
These changes usually affect the rate of chem-
ical reactions, thus radioactivity must be
found deeper within the atom (in the
nucleus).
14. The nuclear force only binds nucleons that
are neighbours. This short-range energy is
proportional to the number of nucleons, A, in
the nucleus. On the other hand, the electrical
repulsion of protons is long-range and acts
between all proton pairs in the nucleus. The
electrical energy is therefore proportional to
Z
2
. Repulsion would overcome attraction in a
larger nucleus if there were not more neutrons
than protons to keep the forces balanced and
the nucleus stable.
15. Alpha particles are ions, since they are helium
atoms stripped of their electrons.
16. If human life expectancy were a random
process like radioactive decay then you
would expect 25% of the population to live
to 152 years. However, this is not the case.
As humans age, their expected number of
years left to live decreases.
17. Carbon-14 undergoing beta decay results in
the daughter isotope nitrogen-14.
18. Industrialization and automobile emissions
have effected changes in our atmosphere such
as global warming and ozone-layer depletion.
Such changes in the past 100 years may be
altering the

C:

C ratio in the air.
19. Potassium salts are rapidly absorbed by brain
tumours, making them detectable. The short
half-life of potassium-42 means that the
dosage decays to a safe, insignificant level
quickly. The transmutation to a stable calcium
salt by beta decay is not harmful to the body.
20. Aquatic creatures do not respire or breathe
atmospheric gases directly. The
14
C:
12

the ocean is different than in the air.
21. Relics that are more than 60 000 years old
have lasted more than 10.5 half-lives of car-
bon-14. The
14
C:
12
C ratio in these relics is
about 1500 times smaller now and is difficult
to determine.
22. The more massive lead atoms scatter the radi-
ation particles more effectively than do the
less massive water molecules, and may also
present a larger target for a high-speed elec-
tron or alpha particle.
23. Transmutation involves a change in the pro-
ton number, Z. This occurs during alpha and
beta decay but does not occur during gamma
decay, in which a nucleus merely becomes less
energized.
24. Alpha particles are more massive than beta or
gamma particles and transfer more energy to
a molecule of the body during a collision. This
has a much more disastrous effect upon the
cells of the body.
25. Yes, 4.2 MeV of kinetic energy is sufficient for
an alpha particle to overcome the electrical
repulsion of the positively charged nuclei
(see problem 72) and contact the nitrogen-14
nucleus, thus a nuclear interaction or process
is possible.
26. The matches are as follows: gaseswind; liq-
uidswater; plasmasfire; and solidsearth.
27. For fission to occur in naturally occurring
deposits of uranium, a minimum concentration
of uranium would be needed in order to sustain
a source of slow neutrons necessary to maintain
the fission process. This concentration is not
present in uranium deposits.
28. The huge inward pull of the Suns gravita-
tional field confines the solar plasma. Lacking
this huge confining force on our less massive
Earth, scientists instead use strong electro-
magnetic fields to confine plasmas.
29. In a fusion reactor, the major problem is to
create the exact and difficult conditions of
high temperatures and plasma concentrations
84 Answers to End-of -chapter Conceptual Questi ons
needed to initiate a fusion process. The
moment these conditions are not met, the
process stops.
30. The high temperature in fusion means that
the ions have a very high speed, which allows
them to approach one another very closely
during collisions. If the ions kinetic energy is
sufficient to overcome the electrical repulsion
of the nuclei, and the nuclei touch, then
fusion is possible.
31. Critical mass in fission involves the existence
of enough fuel so that the fast neutrons emit-
ted during fission are slowed and absorbed
within the fuel itself before they escape. In
this way the reaction is sustained by a contin-
ual source of slow neutrons.
32. Natural uranium is not concentrated enough
(its too wet) to provide the critical mass
needed to slow down any fast neutrons (the
spark needed) and capture them to create a
sustainable reaction.
33. A bubble chamber is superheated almost to the
point of instability. When a charged particle
passes through, it triggers the formation of a
fine stream of bubbles in its wake. Neutral par-
ticles such as neutrons carry no electric field
and leave no visible tracks in the chamber.
34. High-energy accelerators provide ions with
enough kinetic energy that each ions total
energy, E mc
2
, becomes many times greater
than its rest mass. In a collision there is a
probability that this energy could be converted
to a massive elementary particle.
35. In the high-energy accelerator at UBC, the
strong nuclear force, acting over a very brief
period of time (10
23
s) during collisions, pro-
duces pi-mesons or pions.
36. The weak nuclear force is usually masked
by the stronger (by a factor of 10
3
) electro-
magnetic force or (by a factor of 10
5
) strong
nuclear force, unless these forces are forbid-
den. Any process involving the neutrino, such
as beta decay, involves the weak force. The
neutrino reacts rarely, or weakly, with other
elementary particles over a longer time span
(10
8
s) compared with the shorter interaction
times (10
23
s) of the strong nuclear force.
37. Gravitational interactions are the weakest of
the four forces. At elementary particle dis-
tances the gravitational force is 10
40
times as
great as the strong nuclear force. For this rea-
son the graviton or messenger of the gravita-
tional force is extremely difficult to detect.
38. The weak force is 10
3
times as great as the
electromagnetic force at elementary particle
distances. The weak force is mainly involved
in neutrino interactions or processes where
the electric and strong forces are forbidden.
The exchange bosons of the weak force are
Wand Z bosons of mass 80 GeV/c
2
and
91 GeV/c
2
respectively, as compared to the
photons of the electric force. The range of the
weak force is about 10
18
m, compared to
infinity for electromagnetism. The weak force
acts on both leptons (particles not affected
by the strong force, such as electrons) and
hadrons (particles affected by the strong
force), whereas electromagnetism acts only
on charged particles.
39. Strong nuclear processes are the fastest (or
shortest), with a lifetime of about 10
23
s.
40. A high-energy particle travels close to the
speed of light, c 3 10

too small to measure.
41. No, a heavier, unstable version of the
electron, the tauon or tau, , has a mass
of 1777 MeV/c

, greater than the mass of
the proton or neutron (931.5 MeV/c
2
).
42. Since gluons, the quanta of the quark force
field, carry one colour and one anti-colour,
there should be 3
2
9 possible combinations
(rR, rB, rG, bR, bB, bG, gR, gB, and gG).
However, the three colour-neutral gluons (rR,
bB, and gG) must be handled differently
because of what are known as symmetry laws.
For this reason only two possible neutral cou-
plings exist, not three, making a total of eight
colour gluons to act as the source of
quarkquark interactions.

Since this velocity is positive, she could


walk down the escalator. Also, intuitively,
if the escalator takes 15 s to go the same
distance that the woman can in 8 s, then
she is faster and will therefore make it
down the escalator. To find how long it
will take her, solve for time:

35. a) Because the jackrabbits distance vs. time is
changing at a constant rate during seg-
ments B, C, and D, he is undergoing uni-
form motion at these times.
b) Because the jackrabbits distance vs. time is
not changing at a constant rate during seg-

37. a) Because the skateboarder has a positive
velocity between 0 and 5 seconds, this por-
tion of the graph must describe his upward
motion.
b) Since the skateboarder has a negative
velocity from 5 to 10 seconds on the graph,
he must be descending during this portion
of the graph.
c) The skateboarder is undergoing uniform
acceleration.
d) The skateboarder is at rest when his veloc-
ity equals zero, at t 5 s. When his veloc-
ity equals zero, he is at the top of the side
of the swimming pool, or ground level.
e) The skateboarders acceleration can be
found from the slope of the graph. It

b) The clothes do not fly towards the centre
because the wall of the drum applies the
normal force that provides the centripetal
force. When the clothes are not in contact
with the wall, there is no force acting on
them. The clothes have inertia and would
continue moving at a constant velocity tan-
gential to the drum. The centripetal force
acts to constantly change the direction of
this velocity.

After the fourth bounce:

23. a) The total energy of a satellite in an orbit is
the sum of its kinetic and potential ener-
gies. In all cases, total energy remains con-
stant. Therefore, when r is increased, the
gravitational potential energy increases as
E
p

G

. As r increases, the energy
increases as it becomes less negative. Thus,
when potential energy increases, kinetic
energy decreases to maintain the total
energy a constant. Since E

kinetic energy decreases, v also decreases
and when r increases, v decreases.
b) In Keplers third law equation K,
r is directly proportional to T. Therefore,

39. Dog hair is positive since a silk shirt rubbed
with wool socks would have a negative charge.
40. a) The electroscope becomes positive because
it gives up some electrons to the glass rod
to reduce the rods deficit of electrons. This
is called charging by contact.
b) The leaves become positively charged as
well. In charging by contact, the charged
object receives the same charge as the
charging rod.
c) Negative charges will enter the leaves if the
system is grounded.

d) The third charge could only be placed to
the left or to the right of the two basic
charges for the forces to balance and give a
force of 0.

So r

Therefore, the charge must be placed
0.53 m to the left of the first charge. The
other answer, 0.084 m, would place the
charge between the two base charges and
therefore is an inappropriate answer. For a
charge placement to the right of the two
charges, two inappropriate answers are cal-
culated, meaning that the only possible
placement for the charge is at 0.53 m to the
left of the first charge.
53. The forces on the test charge from the repul-
sion by the other two charges must equal one
another for the test charge to come to rest
there. The force of charge 1 on the test charge
(

) must equal the force of charge 2 on the
test charge (

NOTE: The solutions to problem 27 are based
on a distance between the two conductors of
1 cm.
27. a)
Referring to the above diagram, the mag-
netic fields will cancel each other out
because the field from each wire is of the

But this field strength (2.0 10

T) is for
each of the two wires. Referring to the
above diagram, the two fields flow in the
same direction when the current in the
two wires moves in the opposite direction.
The result is that the two fields will add to
produce one field with double the strength
(4.0 10

The electron experiences no net force because
the forces from both the electric and magnetic
fields are equal in magnitude but opposite in
direction.

47. Falling through the top of the loop, the cur-
rent is clockwise.
Falling out of the bottom, the current is
counterclockwise.
48. a) The conventional current flow is clockwise
(looking down from top).
b) The induced magnetic field is linear (down
at the south end).
c) Yes, the falling magnet would experience a
magnetic force that is opposing its motion,
as described by Lenzs law.
d) No, the results would be exactly the same.
The induced current flow would be in the
opposite direction if the poles of the mag-
net were reversed, but the reduction in
speed would be the same.
49. The copper conductor is cutting through the
magnetic field lines as it moves, and therefore
experiences a force that opposes its motion.
The induced and external magnetic fields are
in opposite directions, which causes the oppo-
sition. Aluminum wire would make no differ-
ence as long as it conducts electricity.

54. When viewing something through a doubly
refracting crystal, two images are seen, since
two rays of polarized light are produced. If
another crystal was laid over-top and rotated,
nothing would be seen, since the two crystals
now act as a polarizeranalyzer pair, with an
angle of 90 between their axes.
55. Use an analyzer (another polarizer, rotated).

59. The first Polaroid will remove exactly one
component (50%) of the incident light. The
third Polaroid, having been placed at any
angle but 90 to the first one, will remove a
fraction of the remaining light, allowing one
component of the light to pass through. The
second Polaroid will then remove only a single
component of the residual light. Thus, a frac-
tion of the incident light passes through all
three Polaroids.

27. a) To avoid unwanted electrical currents and
change in bonding structure of the material
of the satellite, the number of electrons
ejected from the material should be mini-
mal. The greater the work function of the
metal, the more photon energy it will
absorb and the fewer electrons will be
ejected. Hence, the material selected should
have a relatively high work function.

could affect this satellite would have an

material, i.e.,

29. a) For a material with a work function
greater than zero, the typical photoelectric
effect graph has a positive x intercept. If
the graph passes through the origin, the
work function of the material is zero,
which means that the photoelectric effect
would be observed with incident photons
having any wavelength.
b) If the graph has a positive y intercept, we
would observe the photoelectric effect
without the presence of incident photons.

46. Bohr predicted a certain value for energy at a
given energy level. From the quantization of
energy, there can be only specific values for
velocity, v, and radius, r. Thus, the path of the
orbiting electron can attain a specific path
(orbit) around the nucleus, which is an orbital.
