![Page 7: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Standards and units
• Length, mass, and time = three fundamentalquantities (“dimensions”) of physics.
• The SI (Système International) is the most widely used system of units.
– Meeting ISO standards are mandatory for some industries. Why?
• In SI units, length is measured in meters, mass inkilograms, and time in seconds.
![Page 8: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Unit consistency and conversions
• An equation must be dimensionally consistent. Terms to be added or equated must alwayshave the same units. (Be sure you’re adding “apples to apples.”)
• OK: 5 meters/sec x 10 hours =~ 2 x 102 km
(distance/time) x (time) = distance
![Page 9: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Unit consistency and conversions
• An equation must be dimensionally consistent. Terms to be added or equated must alwayshave the same units. (Be sure you’re adding “apples to apples.”)
• OK: 5 meters/sec x 10 hours =~ 2 x 102 km
5 meters/sec x 10 hour x (3600 sec/hour)= 180,000 meters = 180 km = ~ 2 x 102 km
![Page 10: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Unit consistency and conversions
• An equation must be dimensionally consistent. Terms to be added or equated must alwayshave the same units. (Be sure you’re adding “apples to apples.”)
• OK: 5 meters/sec x 10 hours =~ 2 x 102 km
• NOT: 5 meters/sec x 10 kg = 50 Joules(velocity) x (mass) = (energy)
![Page 11: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Unit prefixes
• Table 1.1 shows some larger and smaller units for the fundamental quantities.
• Learn these – and prefixes like Mega, Tera, Pico, etc.!
• Skip Ahead to Slide 24 – Sig Fig Example
![Page 12: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Measurement & Uncertainty
No measurement is exact; there is always some uncertainty due to limited instrument accuracy and difficulty reading results.
![Page 13: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• The precision – and also uncertainty - of a measured quantity is indicated by its number of significant figures.
–Ex: 8.7 centimeters
• 2 sig figs
• Specific rules for significant figures exist
• In online homework, sig figs matter!
Measurement & Uncertainty
![Page 14: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Significant Figures
Number of significant figures = number of “reliably known digits” in a number.
Often possible to tell # of significant figures by the way the number is written:
• 23.21 cm = four significant figures.
• 0.062 cm = two significant figures (initial zeroes don’t count).
![Page 15: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Numbers ending in zero are ambiguous. Does the last zero mean uncertainty to a factor of 10, or just 1?
Is 20 cm precise to 10 cm, or 1? We need rules!
• 20 cm = one significant figure(trailing zeroes don’t count w/o decimal point)
• 20. cm = two significant figures(trailing zeroes DO count w/ decimal point)
• 20.0 cm = three significant figures
Significant Figures
![Page 16: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Rules for Significant Figures
•When multiplying or dividing numbers, or using functions, result has as many sig figs as term with fewest (the least precise).
•ex: 11.3 cm x 6.8 cm = 77 cm.
•When adding or subtracting, answer is no more precise than least precise number used.
• ex: 1.213 + 2 = 3, not 3.213!
![Page 17: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Significant Figures
•Calculators will not give right # of sig figs; usually give too many but sometimes give too few (especially if there are trailing zeroes after a decimal point).
•top image: result of 2.0/3.0
•bottom image: result of 2.5 x 3.2
![Page 18: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Scientific Notation
•Scientific notation is commonly used in physics; it allows the number of significant figures to be clearly shown.
•Ex: cannot easily tell how many significant figures in “36,900”.
•Clearly 3.69 x 104 has three; and 3.690 x 104 has four.
![Page 19: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Measurement & Uncertainty
No measurement is exact; there is always some uncertainty due to limited instrument accuracy and difficulty reading results.
Photo illustrates this –it would be difficult to measure the width of this board more accurately than ± 1 mm.
![Page 21: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Uncertainty and significant figures
• Every measurement has uncertainty–Ex: 8.7 cm (2 sig figs)
• “8” is (fairly) certain
• 8.6? 8.8?• 8.71? 8.69?
• Good practice – include uncertainty with every measurement!
–8.7 ± 0.1 meters
![Page 22: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Uncertainty and significant figures
• Uncertainty should match measurement in the least precise digit:
–8.7 ± 0.1 centimeters
–8.70 ± 0.10 centimeters–8.709 ± 0.034 centimeters
–8 ± 1 centimeters• Not…
–8.7 +/- 0.034 cm
![Page 23: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Relative Uncertainty
•Relative uncertainty: a percentage, the ratio of uncertainty to measured value, multiplied by 100.
•ex. Measure a phone to be 8.8 ± 0.1 cm
What is the relative uncertainty in this measurement?
![Page 24: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Uncertainty and significant figures
• Physics involves approximations; these can affect the precision of a measurement.
![Page 25: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Uncertainty and significant figures
• As this train mishap illustrates, even a small percent error can have spectacular results!
![Page 26: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Conceptual Example: Significant figures
Using a protractor, you measure an angle to be 30°.
(a) How many significant figures should you quote in this measurement?
![Page 27: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Conceptual Example: Significant figures
Using a protractor, you measure an angle to be 30°.
(a) How many significant figures should you quote in this measurement? What uncertainty?
2 sig figs! (30. +/- 1 degrees or 3.0 x 101 +/- 1 degrees)
![Page 28: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Conceptual Example: Significant figures

(b) What result would a calculator give for the cosine of this result? What should you report?
![Page 29: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Conceptual Example: Significant figures
Using a protractor, you measure an angle to be 30°.
(b) What result would a calculator give for the cosine of this result? What should you report?
0.866025403, but to two sig figs, 0.87!
![Page 30: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
1-3 Accuracy vs. Precision
Accuracy is how close a measurement comes to the true value.
ex. Acceleration of Earth’s gravity = 9.81 m/sec2
Your experiment produces 10 ± 1 m/sec2
• You were accurate! How accurate? Measured by ERROR.
• |Actual – Measured|/Actual x 100%
• | 9.81 – 10 | / 9.81 x 100% = 1.9% Error
![Page 31: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Accuracy vs. Precision
•Accuracy is how close a measurement comes to the true value
• established by % error
•Precision is a measure of repeatability of the measurement using the same instrument.
• established by uncertainty in a measurement
• reflected by the # of significant figures
![Page 32: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Accuracy vs. Precision
![Page 33: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Accuracy vs. Precision
![Page 34: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Accuracy vs. Precision ?
![Page 35: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Accuracy vs. Precision ?
Use least-squares fit to find line that minimizes deviation
Large error bars (uncertainty in
measurements) = not very precise…
Lots of data IMPROVES fit
and overall precision
![Page 36: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Accuracy vs. Precision Example
•Example:
You measure the acceleration of Earth’s gravitational force in the lab, which is accepted to be 9.81 m/sec2
• Your experiment produces 8.334 m/sec2
•Were you accurate? Were you precise?
![Page 37: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Accuracy vs. Precision
Accuracy is how close a measurement comes to the true value. (established by % error)
ex. Your experiment produces 8.334 m/sec2
for the acceleration of gravity (9.81 m/sec2)
Accuracy: (9.81 – 8.334)/9.81 x 100% = 15% error
Is this good enough? Only you (or your boss/customer) know for sure! ☺
![Page 38: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Accuracy vs. Precision
Precision is the repeatability of the measurement using the same instrument.
ex. Your experiment produces 8.334 m/sec2
for the acceleration of gravity (9.81 m/sec2)
Precision indicated by 4 sig figs
Seems (subjectively) very precise – and precisely wrong!
![Page 39: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Accuracy vs. Precision
Better Technique: Include uncertaintyYour experiment produces
8.334 m/sec2 +/- 0.077 m/sec2
Your relative uncertainty is
.077/8.334 x 100% = ~1%
But your error was ~ 15%
NOT a good result!
![Page 40: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Accuracy vs. Precision
Better Technique: Include uncertaintyYour experiment produces
8.3 m/sec2 +/- 1.2 m/sec2
Your relative uncertainty is
1.2 / 8.3 x 100% = ~15%
Your error was still ~ 15%
Much more reasonable a result!
![Page 41: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Accuracy vs. Precision
•Precision is a measure of repeatability of the measurement using the same instrument.
• established by uncertainty in a measurement
• reflected by the # of significant figures
• improved by repeated measurements!
•Statistically, if each measurement is independent
• make n measurements (and n> 10)
•Improve precision by √(n-1)
• Make 10 measurements, % uncertainty ~ 1/3
![Page 42: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
1-6 Order of Magnitude: Rapid Estimating
Quick way to estimate calculated quantity:
• round off all numbers in a calculation to one significant figure and then calculate.
• result should be right order of magnitude
• expressed by rounding off to nearest power of 10
• 104 meters
• 108 light years
![Page 43: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Order of Magnitude: Rapid Estimating
Example: Volume of a lake
Estimate how much water there is in a particular lake, which is roughly circular, about 1 km across, and you guess it has an average depth of about 10 m.
![Page 44: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Order of Magnitude: Rapid Estimating
Example: Volume of a lake
Volume = π x r2 x depth
= ~ 3 x 500 x 500 x 10
= ~75 x 105
= ~ 100 x 105
= ~ 107 cubic meters
![Page 45: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Order of Magnitude: Rapid Estimating
Example: Volume of a lake
Volume = π x r2 x depth
= 7,853,981.634 cu. m
~ 107 cubic meters
![Page 46: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
1-6 Order of Magnitude: Rapid Estimating
Example: Thickness of a page.

Solving problems in physics
• The textbook offers a systematic problem-solving strategywith techniques for setting up and solving problems efficiently and accurately.
![Page 48: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Solving problems in physics
• Step 1: Identify relevant concepts, variables, what is known, what is needed, what is missing.
![Page 49: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Solving problems in physics
• Step 2: Set up the Problem – MAKE a SKETCH, label it, act it out, model it, decide what equations might apply. What units should the answer have? What value?
![Page 50: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Solving problems in physics
• Step 3: Execute the Solution, and EVALUATE your answer! Are the units right? Is it the right order of magnitude? Does it make SENSE?
![Page 51: 01-Chapter 01 _ Units, Physical Quantities, And Vectors](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052304/563db834550346aa9a918878/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Solving problems in physics
• Good problems to gauge your learning
– “Test your Understanding” Questions throughout the book
– Conceptual “Clicker” questions linked online
– “Two dot” problems in the chapter
• Good problems to review before exams
– BRIDGING Problem @ end of each chapter ***

Vectors and scalars
• A scalar quantity can be described by a single number with some meaningful unit
• A vector quantity has a magnitude and a direction in space, as well as some meaningful unit.
• To establish the direction, you MUST first have a coordinate system!
• Standard x-y Cartesian coordinates common
• Compass directions (N-E-S-W)
