How to be successful in this class

Be prepared: look at syllabus, read assigned chapter, do examples in text, do suggested homework.

Come to class.

Do quizzes.

Form study groups, make use of internet resources, use tutors in physical science center.

Talk to me before it gets to be too late.

MeasurementsMeasurement: a number followed by a unit

7

Units of MeasurementThe metric system or SI (international system) is

•a decimal system based on 10.

•used in most of the world.

•used everywhere by scientists.

8

Length

9

Metric and SI unit: meter (m)1 m = cm 100 1 m = yd1.09

Measured using meterstick, yardstick.

Volume

10

Metric unit: liter (L), SI unit: cubic meter (m3)1 L = qt1.06 1 L = mL1000

In Lab: measure volumes using graduated cylinders.

Mass

11

Metric unit: gram (g), SI unit: kilogram (kg)

1 kg = g1000 454 g = lb1

Weight = measure of gravitational pull on an object.

Mass = measure of quantity of material contained in an object

Thus: measure mass not weight!

The Standard Kilogram

12

The standard kilogram is housed at the International Bureau of Weights and Standards near Paris. NIST (= National Institute of Standards and Technology) maintains an official copy.

Temperature

13

Metric unit: Celsius (°C), SI unit: Kelvin (K)

Water freezes at °C and boils at °C. 0 100

0 °C = °F32

Time

14

Metric and SI unit: second (s)

The NIST F-1 atomic clock is accurate to within one second every thirty million years.

Check SI Units

15

Identify the measurement that has an SI unit. A. John’s height is

1) 1.5 yd. 2) 6 ft. 3) 2.1 m.

B. The race was won in1) 19.6 s. 2) 14.2 min. 3) 3.5 hr.

C. The mass of a lemon is1) 12 oz. 2) 0.145 kg. 3) 0.6 lb.

D. The temperature is1) 85C. 2) 255 K. 3) 45F.

Scientific Notation
