The Science of Physics Chapter 1: Factor-Label and Dimensional Analysis

Factor Label Method Why unit conversions? – Want all numbers to have like units before performing calculations – May want to represent number differently

Factor Label Method Need conversion factor Conversion factor is equal to 1 so doesn’t change amount of what you have Example: convert 32 inches to feet – Conversion factor: 1 foot = 12 inches or 1 ft/12 in – Convert– 32 inches x (1 ft/12 inches) = 2.7 ft – Not 3 ft and not ft !

Factor Label Practice Handout

Dimensional Analysis Dimensional Analysis is a tool to see if you’ve set up your equation correctly. For instance, say you want to know how long it will take you to travel to Iowa City which is about 75 miles away and you know you will be travelling at an average speed of 50 miles per hour.

How to solve problem using dimensional analysis… 1. Identify equation to use: D= s x t D= distance travelled, miles S = speed, miles per hour t = time travelled, hours 2. Rearrange equation such that unknown is isolated on one side: t = D/s 3. Substitute values with units and solve: t = 75 miles/ (50 miles/hour) = 75 miles x (hour/50 miles) = 1.5 hours

How to solve problem using dimensional analysis…oops! 1. Identify equation to use: D= s x t D= distance travelled, miles S = speed, miles per hour t = time travelled, hours 2. Rearrange equation such that unknown is isolated on one side: t = D x s 3. Substitute values with units and solve: t = 75 miles x (50 miles/hour) = 3750 miles 2 /hour
