Set-2 A Very Boring Lecture ** Some Tools for Later ** Sorry about that
2
HW Assignment Read the rest of chapter 1
3
NOTENOTE
4
The Three Tools Scientific Notation Graphs Converting Units Don’t be offended if you already know this stuff. Feel free to take a nap.
5
An Atom ~0.0000000002 Meters 9 zeros after the decimal point !!
6
Datsalottazeros!Datsalottazeros! Dersgoddabeabedderway ~0.0000000002 Meters And there is!
7
Do you remember?
8
The Sequence 2 0 =1 2 1 =2 2 2 =4 2 3 =8 2 4 =16 2 5 =32 1,2,4,8,16,32, ……. Interesting but would be better if we only had one finger on Each hand!
9
Which is better for counting? 5 1
10
This works for other “bases”
11
Clicker: How Much Is A.16 B.4 3 C.128 D.32
12
You use what you have … 5 fingers on each hand. 2 hands Toes are inaccessible 2 X 5 = 10 Lets look at “base” 10
13
“Base” 10
14
Some of the numbers
15
A real number Scientific Notation { 6 Zeros
16
What about decimals? ONE
17
So.. 4 places after The decimal point First non-zero digit
18
Powers of 10 (meters)
19
What’s it all about?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41g WUkVQ-9U PowerPoint Version also available. Powers of 10
20

More on Loudness later in the semester

Let’s review graphs. A Graph is a way of visually presenting data from a table. It usually has two axes. These axes can be anything but in science it is often an x- and y- axis. Sometimes a graph is three dimensional.
27
An Important Graph The Dow Jones Industrial Average (CNN-money 7-08 time 1 box = 1 month DJIA ($)
28
Another Important Graph 10 years of data – a different view! 6 mos
29
Last Topic in this Set UNIT CONVERSION We need to convert days to seconds How many seconds are there in 2 days? What do we know? 1 day = 24 hours 1 hour = 60 minutes 1 minute = 60 seconds
30
“Days” cancel ; Trick: Keep multiplying by unity! UNITY
32
So now you know ….if you didn’t know before. Scientific Notation Graphs Unit Conversions
