Units of measurement in physics, слайд 1
Physics- study of motion, forces, energy, matter, heat, sound, light, and the composition of atoms
Units of Measurement In 1960, an international committee came up with a system of standard units called the SI system (Système International) of units Length = meter 1983 – meter = the distance traveled by light in a vacuum during an interval of 1/299792458 second Mass = kilogram Mass is a quantity used to measure the resistance to a change in state of motion of an object Time = second KNOW YOUR METRIC PREFIXES!!!

Building Blocks of Matter
Democritus – Greek Philosopher  the atom (atomos means “not sliceable” in Greek) Atoms – Protons – + charged; in nucleus; the # of protons in a nucleus determines what element the material is Neutrons – 0 charge; in nucleus; similar mass to proton; one purpose is to serve as “glue” to help hold protons together Protons and Neutrons are now thought to be composed of particles called quarks

Significant Figures
Significant Figures- the #’s recorded in a measurement ANY measurement always has some degree of uncertainty DO NOT ROUND OFF RANDOMLY!!! Always estimate one additional decimal place   If a measurement happens to be right on the line, add a 0 in the last decimal place  2.50 m

Accuracy vs. Precision
Accuracy = how correct you are Precision = how repeatable something is Significant Figures: the #s recorded in a measurement (all the certain #s plus the 1st uncertain #) Calculations with Sig Figs-

Слайд 8

Units of measurement in physics, слайд 8
Multiplication or Division the # of sig figs in the answer is the same as that in the measurement with the smallest # of sig figs 2.3 x 1.489 = 3.4247 (on your calculator) what is the answer to the problem? 3.4 (because 2.3 only has 2 s.f.) 7.93/4.8367 = 1.6395476 (on your calculator) what is the answer to the problem? 1.64 (because 7.93 only has 3 s.f.)

Слайд 9

Units of measurement in physics, слайд 9
Addition or Subtraction
the limiting term is the one with the smallest # of decimal places to the right of the decimal 12.11 + 18.0 + 1.013 = 31.123 (on your calculator) answer? 31.1 (because 18.0 only has 1 place past the decimal) 1.013 – 12.11 = -11.097 (on your calculator) answer? -11.10 (because 12.11 only has 2 places past the decimal)

Conversion of Units
start with the given number in the upper left corner place the conversion factor so that the units you do not want cancel keep placing conversion factors until you get to the units that you want Solve the problem 1. If a car is traveling at a speed of 28.0 m/s, is it exceeding the speed limit of 65.0 mi/hr? so the car is not exceeding the speed limit

Coordinate Systems and Frames of Reference
A coordinate system used to specify locations in space consist of A fixed reference point O, called the origin A set of specified axes or directions with an appropriate scale and labels on the axes Instructions that tell us how to label a point in space relative to the origin and axes We will usually use the Cartesian coordinate system (the one that you are used to in math

Trigonometry
The portion of mathematics that is based on the special properties of right triangles SOHCAHTOA Sine = Opposite/Hypotenuse Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent Pythagorean Theorem  a2 + b2 = c2 Inverse relationships  What angle has a sine of 0.866?  sin-1(0.866) = 60o What angle has a tangent of 0.400  tan-1(0.400) = 21.8o

1. A person attempts to measure the height of a building by walking out a distance of 46.0 m from its base and shining a flashlight beam toward its top. He finds that when the beam is elevated at an angle of 39.0o with respect to the horizontal, the beam just strikes the top of the building. Find the height of the building and the distance the flashlight beam has to travel before it strikes the top of the building.
Draw a picture Height = (tan 39.0o)(46.0 m) H = (0.810)(46.0 m) = 37.3 m

Слайд 19

For the distance the flashlight beam has to travel to reach the top of the building, Use Pythagorean Theorem a2 + b2 = c2

2. A truck driver moves up a straight mountain highway. Elevation markers at the beginning and ending points of the trip show that he has risen vertically 0.530 km, and the mileage indicator on the truck shows that he has traveled a total distance of 3.00 km during the ascent. Find the angle of incline of the hill.
Draw a picture To find θ, we use θ = sin-1(0.177) = 10.2o

5. A lakefront beach drops of gradually at angle θ. For safety reasons, it is necessary to know how deep the lake is at various distances from the shore. To provide some information about the depth, a lifeguard rows straight out from the shore a distance of 14.0 m and drops a weighted fishing line. By measuring the length of the line, the lifeguard determines the depth to be 2.25 m. (a) What is the value of θ? (b) What would be the depth d of the lake at a distance of 22.0 m form the shore?

A) We know So θ = tan-1 (0.161) θ = 9.15o B) For the bigger triangle, still but now we know θ = 9.15o and ha = 22.0 m So, ho = 3.54 m

Graphing Data
Graphs show information quickly and simply Independent Variable – the factor that is changed or manipulated during the experiment Plotted on the horizontal (x) axis Dependent Variable – the factor that depends on the independent variable Plotted on the vertical (y) axis Line of Best Fit – straight line drawn as close to all the data points as possible Linear Relationship Between 2 Variables y = mx + b m = slope b = y-intercept Slope =
