Read Chapter 1 Tooling up Units, and unit conversions Accuracy and significant figures Dimensional analysis Principles – predict the future Scalars and vectors Math Review One Dimensional Motion
The system of units we will use is the System International (SI) ; the units of the fundamental quantities are: Length – meter Mass – kilogram Time – second
Fundamental Physical Quantities and Their Units Unit prefixes for powers of 10, used in the SI system:
Accuracy and Significant Figures The number of significant figures represents the accuracy with which a number is known. Terminal zeroes after a decimal point are significant figures: 2.00 has 3 significant figures 2 has 1 significant figure.
Accuracy and Significant Figures If numbers are written in scientific notation, it is clear how many significant figures there are: 6. × 1024 has one 6.1 × 1024 has two 6.14 × 1024 has three …and so on. Calculators typically show many more digits than are significant. It is important to know which are accurate and which are meaningless.
Scientific Notation Example Scientific notation: use powers of 10 for numbers that are not between 1 and 10 (or, often, between 0.1 and 100): When multiplying numbers together, you add the exponents algebraically. When dividing numbers, you subtract the exponents algebraically. Example
1-4 Dimensional Analysis The dimension of a quantity is the particular combination that characterizes it (the brackets indicate that we are talking about dimensions): [v] = [L]/[T] Note that we are not specifying units here – velocity could be measured in meters per second, miles per hour, inches per year, or whatever. [a] = [L]/[T]2 Force=ma [F]=[M][L]/[T2]
Principles or Laws Mathematics Predict the future Conservation of Energy Conservation of Momentum Newton's Laws Principle of Relativity Laws of physics work the same for an observer in uniform motion as for an observer at rest. Mathematics Predict the future

ConcepTest 3.1b Vectors II 1) they are perpendicular to each other 2) they are parallel and in the same direction 3) they are parallel but in the opposite direction 4) they are at 45° to each other 5) they can be at any angle to each other Given that A + B = C, and that lAl 2 + lBl 2 = lCl 2, how are vectors A and B oriented with respect to each other?

Note that the magnitudes of the vectors satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem. This suggests that they form a right triangle, with vector C as the hypotenuse. Thus, A and B are the legs of the right triangle and are therefore perpendicular.

The only time vector magnitudes will simply add together is when the direction does not have to be taken into account (i.e., the direction is the same for both vectors). In that case, there is no angle between them to worry about, so vectors A and B must be pointing in the same direction.
