1.Position-time graph: graph that shows how position depends on clock reading or time. 2.Slope: ratio of the vertical separation of 2 points on a curve or rise, to the horizontal separation of the points, or run; rise divided by run; change in distance/change in time. 3.Velocity-time graph: plot of velocity of an object as a function of time.
3
Numbers are based on measurement made in the lab. Our data is only as good as the measurements we make and the instruments we use.
4
Something that has a magnitude size or amount Ex. Length, mass, volume
5
One system for all scientists around the world; We must have a standard for comparison length-meter (m) mass- kilogram(kg) time- second (s) volume – liter (L)

9
Shows how PRECISE a measurement is Indicates the QUALITY of the instrument you use (how sensitive or exact) EX. Graduated cylinder vs. beaker
11
Used to write really LARGE or really small #’s Why? To save space & time
12
Written in the form of mX10 n m: > or equal to 1 AND <10 EX: 1.0X10 3
13
Step 1) Determine the sig figs 106,000,000 Step 2) Determine the value of M using the sig figs 1.06 Step 3) Add the 10’s multiplier 1.06 x 10 n
14
Step 4) Determine the value of “n” by counting the number of times you move the decimal in the original number to get the value for “M” Step 5) Determine the sign of “n” by looking at the direction that you moved the decimal in the original # to get the value or “M” If you move the decimal to the left in the orginal # “n” is positive If you move the decimal to the right from the original #, “n” is negative
15
Multiplication/Division 1) Multiply/ Divide using original numbers 2) Report answer using the same # of sig figs as the least precise measurement in the problem
17
-Digit to the right is ≥ 5: Round UP -Digit to the right is<5: Round DOWN
18
1) Add/subtract with original numbers 2) Report answer using the same # of decimal places as the least precise measurement in the problem.
