1. MEASUREMENTS AND CONVERSIONS

2. METRIC BASE UNITS Length – Meter (m) Mass – Gram (g) Volume – Liter (L) Time – Seconds (s) Temperature – Kelvin (K) Celsius ( ˚C ) Conversion K = ˚C – 273.15 Current – Amp (A)

3. PHYSICS OR SI BASE UNITS Length – Meter (m) Mass – Kilogram (kg) Volume – Liter (L) Time – Seconds (s) Temperature – Kelvin (K) Electric Current – Amp (A)

4. SI DERIVED UNITS Velocity: (m/s) Acceleration: (m/s²) Density: (kg/L) Force: mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s ² ) = Newton (N) Energy and Work: Force (N) x Length (m) = Joule (J) Power: Work (J) / time (s) = Watt (W) Frequency: 1/s = hertz (Hz) Electric charge = current (A) x time (s) = coulomb (C)

5. CONVERSIONS FOR SI UNITS

7. PRACTICE PROBLEMS Convert the following to SI base units: 1. 10 g =.01 kg 2. 6 km = 6,000 m 3. 1000 mL = 1 L 4. 7 minutes = 420 s 5. 20 mA =.02 A 6. 3000 mg =.003 g 7. 0.8 cm =.008 m Piece of Cake

8. CONVERT STANDARD TO SI UNITS 1 mile = 1609.34 m 1 yard =.91 m 1 gallon = 3.79 L °F = °C × 9/5 + 32 1 lb. =.45 kg (only on Earth) 1 lb. = 4.4 N (everywhere)

9. PRACTICE PROBLEMS Convert the following to SI base units: 1. 3.1 miles = 4989 m 2. 80 ˚F = 26.7 ˚C 3. 25 mph = 11.2 m/s 4. 150 lb. = 68 kg(mass) 5. 150 lb. =667 N(force) 6. 70 mph = 31.3 m/s Good Job! You did it!

10. SCIENTIFIC NOTATION Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x 10 -9. Speed of light: c = 299,792,458 m/s = 3.0 x 10 8 m/s Gravitational constant: G = 0.0000000000667 Nm 2 /kg 2 = 6.67 x 10 -11 Nm 2 /kg 2

11. SCIENTIFIC NOTATION Practice problems: 123,456,789.00 = 1.23 x 10 8 0.00987654321 = 9.88 x10 -3 0.00000789320 = 7.89 x 10 -6 821640732.200 = 8.21 x 10 8 0.00000100100 = 1.00 x 10 -6 1309000.02000 = 1.31 x 10 6 6780003.99000 = 6.78 x 10 6 0.00070900000 = 7.09 x 10 -4 Wow!
