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
Newton’s law of universal gravitation is represented byF = G Mm r 2where F is the gravitational force, M and m are masses, and r is a length. Force has the SI units kg · m/s 2 . What are the SI units of the proportionality constant G?
If the speed of a vehicle increases by 22%, by what factor does its kinetic energy increase? Kinetic formula is KE=1/2 mu^2. Thus, the amount of kinetic energy in a moving object is the product of the mass(m) of the object and the square of its speed(u)
The kinetic energy K of an object of mass m moving with speed v is given by the formula K = mv2. The SI unit of kinetic energy is the joule, J. Use this formula to express the joule in terms of the fundamental SI quantities of mass, length, and time.

A mass of 62g is placed on the end of a 3.2cm vertical spring. This causes the spring to extend to 9.9cm. If we then change the mass to 284g, what is the measured length of the spring (in m)?
In this problem we will observe how the momentum of an electron changes as its velocity approaches the speed of light. The mass of an electron is 9.109 × 10-31 kg Part (a) First, what is the momentum of an electron which is moving at the speed of a car on a highway, say 31 m/s, in kilogram meters per second? Part (b) What is the momentum of an electron moving at 18 % of the speed of light, in kilogram meters per second? Part (c) What is the momentum of an electron moving at 81 % of the speed of light, in kilogram meters per second? Part (d) What is the non-relativistic momentum of an electron moving at this speed (81 % of the speed of light), in kilogram meters per second? Part (e) When the electron is moving at 81 % of the speed of light, how many times greater is the relativistic momentum than the non-relativistic
