Let’s see what we remember in physics…

Diagnostics - Answers

E. MODELC. THEORY

1. A kind of picture or analogy that helps to describe a phenomenon in terms of something we already know.

2. A broader and more detailed picture that aims to explain and order observations that has been tested and proven through experimentation.

Diagnostics - Answers

D. PRECISIONF. DIMENSION OF A QUANTITY

3. Refers to the repeatability of the same measurement using a given instrument.

4. Refers to the type of units or base quantities that make up a quantity. For example, for area, it is length. For velocity, we have length and time.

Diagnostics - Answers

A. LAW

B. ACCURACY

5. Concise but general statements about how nature behaves, found experimentally valid over a wide range of observed phenomena. They usually take the form of a relationship or equation.

6. Refers to how close a measurement is to the true value.

7. The age of the universe is thought to be about 14 billion years. Assuming two significant figures, write this in powers of ten in (a) years ________

STEP 2: Get the sum before converting to significant figures. Why?

To get the most ACCURATE result.

1.80 1.425 0.534

3.759

8. (cont’d) STEP 3: After adding, express the sum in significant

figures. SIGNIFICANT FIGURES: Rule for addition / subtraction:Among the given data, follow the LEAST NUMBER OF DECIMAL PLACES.

51.80 142.5 5.34 10m cm m

3 significant figures. Therefore,

3.759 3.76 m

8. In summary

1. Convert all measurements to the same unit. (METERS, SECONDS, KILOGRAMS)

2. Get the sum before converting to significant figures.

3. After adding, express the sum in significant figures.

9. A car traveling 88 km/h is 110 m behind a truck traveling 75 km/h. How long will it take the care to reach the truck?

10. A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 18.0 m/s.

(a.) How fast is it moving when it reaches a height of 11.0m?

1. READ CAREFULLY. CHOOSE the object/s you are going to analyze.

DRAW A CAREFUL DIAGRAM showing what is happening to the object.

CHOOSE an origin and XY-COORDINATE SYSTEM.

LIST the known and unknown quantities.

THINK before jumping into the equations. APPLY the RELEVANT EQUATIONS.

REFLECT on your answer.

PROBLEM-SOLVING TIPS

1. Acceleration and velocity are always in the same direction.

FALSE 2. An object thrown

upward has zero acceleration at the highest point.

FALSE

True or False?

10. (b.) How long is required to reach this height, 11.0m?

ANSWER: There are two

times when the ball is at a height of 11.0m from the reference point.

10. (c.) Why are there two answers to 10b. ?

11. A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 65.2 m/s at an angle of above the horizontal on a long flat firing range. Determine:

(a.) the maximum height reached by the projectile.

11. (b.) the total time in the air.

11.( c.) the total horizontal distance covered.

11.(d.) the velocity of the projectile 1.50s after firing.
