Solve for it. Use result to find a value for the other variable. Ex: Find both x and y: 1843  yx626  yxandChapter 1Introduction and Mathematical ConceptsUnits of measurementEx: miles, feet, inches, hours, gallons, pounds, liters…SI units (metric) Length: meter (m)Time: second (s) Mass: kilogram (kg)Web Links: SI UnitsThe Kilogram Base Units (Other units derived from these) Volume: m3 Speed: m/s Power: (kg)(m2)/s3 = 1 WattScientific NotationExamples: 789,000,000 = 7.89 x 108 .000038 = 3.8 x 10-5 (or 3.8E-5 or 3.8 –5)Web Links: Scientific Notation, Powers of 10calculatorPrefixes 10-2 = centi- (c)103 = kilo- (k) 10-3 = milli- (m)106 = Mega- (M) 10-6 = micro- ()109 = Giga- (G) 10-9 = nano- (n)10-12 = pico- (p)Examples: 3000 m = 3 x 103 m = 3 km4.2 x 10-9 s = 4.2 ns780 g = .780 kgUnit Conversions (Web Link: Unit Conversion)If you have to do them by hand, (and you do! ) you need……Conversion FactorsConversion FactorsEx: 1 min = 60 sConversion factors: ands60min1min160 sEx: How many seconds are in 47 minutes?Question: How can we go around multiplying things by conversion factors without increasing or decreasing their values?????are all equal to 1Why are conversions so important?? Just ask NASA: The Mars Climate ObserverMore Conversion Factor Examples:42 miles per hour = how many meters per second? 6.0 square kilometers = how many square meters?Significant FiguresHow many significant figures do you think these have?1.231.201.200.0037380,000Here’s the rule: Zeroes that only exist to separate other numbers from the decimal don’t count as significant figures. (Now let’s try some more…….).003400402402.1 Web Link: Significant FiguresWhy do we care about significant figures??No final result should have more significant figures than the data used to calculate it!**But don’t round off until the final resultExamples: 42 mi/hr = 18.78333333 m/s = ?TrigonometryFor any right triangle: adjopptans i no p ph y pc o sa d jh y pRight angleCall this angle hypotenuseoppositeadjacentOr…hypotenuseadjacentoppositeTrigonometry ExamplesEx:8.0 m23ºy=?xs i no p ph y pc o sa d jh y padjopptanAnother Example:How steep is the hill? (Find ) .50 km2.9 kmDegrees (°) or Radians (rad)???A complete circle has 360ºA complete circle has 2 radConversion factors: and 3 6 02or a d23 6 0r a doVectors and ScalarsVector Quantities – have magnitude and directionEx: displacement: I walked 20 meters westEx: velocity: 60 miles per hour northVector – an arrow drawn to scale used to represent a vector quantityEx:Scalar Quantities – have magnitude only, no directionExamples: ?? 60 m/s east30 m/s east30 m/snorthAdding VectorsParallel Vectors Non-Parallel Vectors3 mi 1 mi 2 mi+ =3 mi 1 mi 4 mi+ =in the same direction: addin opposite directions: subtract3 mi2 miResultant – the net result of adding 2 or more vectorsWeb Links: Vector Addition, Addition of many vectorsWeb Link: Vector Addition AirplanesTwo Vector Addition Methods1) Geometric (or Graphical) Finding the resultant by drawing vectors head to tail:2) Adding by Vector Components A more precise method using trigonometryWe’ll discuss each method in turn……1) Geometric (Graphical) MethodABRA + B = RUse graph paper, a ruler, and a protractorto measure the length and angle of REx: Add these 3 vectors:a = 3m northb = 2m eastc = 1m southDoes the order matter?
