Math Review Units, Scientific Notation, Significant Figures, and Dimensional analysis Algebra - –Per Cent Change –Solving simultaneous equations –Cramers Rule –Quadratic equation Trigonometry and geometry –sin, cos, and tan, Pythagorean Theorem, Coversion to radians Vectors –Unit vectors –Adding, subtracting, finding components –Dot product –Cross product –Examples Derivatives –Rules –Examples Integrals –Examples

The system of units we will use is the Standard International (SI) system; the units of the fundamental quantities are: Length – meter Mass – kilogram Time – second Charge - Coulomb

Fundamental Physical Quantities and Their Units Unit prefixes for powers of 10, used in the SI system:

Scientific notation: use powers of 10 for numbers that are not between 1 and 10 (or, often, between 0.1 and 100); exponents add if multiplying and subtract if dividing: Scientific Notation

Accuracy and Significant Figures If numbers are written in scientific notation, it is clear how many significant figures there are: 6 × has one 6.1 × has two 6.14 × 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.

Other systems of units: cgs, which uses the centimeter, gram, and second as basic units British, which uses the foot for length, the second for time, and the pound for force or weight – all of these units are now defined relative to 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: 2.0 is between 1.95 and 2.05, whereas 2.00 is between and

The number of significant figures represents the accuracy with which a number is known. Trailing zeroes with no decimal point are not significant. This has only 2 significant figures is between 1150 and 1250, whereas is between and

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.

Problems Involving Percent Change A cart is traveling along a track. As it passes through a photogate its speed is measured to be 3.40 m/s. Later, at a second photogate, the speed of the cart is measured to be 3.52 m/s. Find the percent change in the speed of the cart.

Simultaneous Equations FIND X AND Y

Cramer’s Rule

Quadratic Formula EQUATION: SOLVE FOR X: SEE EXAMPLE NEXT PAGE

Example

Derivation Complete the Square

Arc Length and Radians is measured in radians S

Small Angle Approximation Small-angle approximation is a useful simplification of the laws of trigonometry which is only approximately true for finite angles. FOR EXAMPLE

Scalars and Vectors

Vectors and Unit Vectors Representation of a vector : has magnitude and direction –i and j unit vectors –angle and magnitude –x and y components Example of vectors Addition and subtraction Scalar or dot product

Vectors Red arrows are the i and j unit vectors. Magnitude =  Angle between A and x axis =

Adding Two Vectors Create a Parallelogram with The two vectors You wish you add.

Adding Two Vectors. Note you add x and y components

Vector components in terms of sine and cosine y x  r x y i j r

Scalar product = A B  ABAB Also

A B is the perpendicular projection of A on B. Important later. A B  ABAB 90 deg. Also

Vectors in 3 Dimensions

For a Right Handed 3D-Coordinate Systems x y i j k Magnitude of Right handed rule. Also called cross product z

Suppose we have two vectors in 3D and we want to add them x y z i j k r1r1 r2r

Adding vectors Now add all 3 components r2r2 r r1r1 i j k x y z

Scalar product = Cross Product See your textbook Chapter 3 for more information on vectors When we get to rotations we will need to talk about cross products. Also in E/M.

Differential Calculus

Define the instantaneous velocity Recall (average) as  t 0 = dx/dt (instantaneous) Example Definition of Velocity when it is smoothly changing

DISTANCE-TIME GRAPH FOR UNIFORM ACCELERATION x t (t+  t) t v  x /  t x = f(t) x +  x = f(t +  t) dx/dt = lim  x /  t as  t 0. x, t  x = f(t +  t) - f(t)

Differential Calculus: an example of a derivative dx/dt = lim  x /  t as  t 0 velocity in the x direction

Power Rule Chain Rule Product Rule Three Important Rules of Differentiation

Problem 4-7 The position of an electron is given by the following displacement vector, where t is in s and r is in m. What is the electron’s velocity v(t)? What is the electron’s velocity at t= 2 s? What is the magnitude of the velocity or speed? What is the angle relative to the positive direction of the x axis? +v x +v y 

Integral Calculus

How far does it go? Distance equals area under speed graph regardless of its shape Area = x = 1/2(base)(height) = 1/2(t)(at) = 1/2at 2 v=dx/dt t v= at vivi titi

Integration:anti-derivative
