What is Physics?Physics is a branch of science that involves the study of the physical world: energy, matter, and how they are related.
Learning physics will help you to understand the physical world.
Physics uses mathematics as a powerful language.
In physics, equations are important tools for modeling observations and for making predictions.

The metric system is easy to use because all the units are based on factors of 10.
Let’s see what you came up with?

Converting UnitsConverting between metric units, for example from kg to g, is easy, as all it involves is powers of 10.
Converting to and from British units is considerably more work.

Order of Magnitude: Rapid Estimating
A quick way to estimate a calculated quantity is to round off all numbers to one significant figure and then calculate. Your result should at least be the right order of magnitude; this can be expressed by rounding it off to the nearest power of 10.

Significant Figures
The number of significant figures is the number of reliably known digits in a number. It is usually possible to tell the number of significant figures by the way the number is written.
Some Examples:
23.21 cm has 4 significant figures
0.062 cm has 2 significant figures (the initial zeroes don’t count)
80 km is ambiguous – it could have 1 or 2 significant figures. If it has 3, it should be written 80.0 km.

Operations Involving Significant Figures
When multiplying or dividing numbers, the result has as many significant figures as the number used in the calculation with the fewest significant figures.
Example: 11.3 cm x 6.8 cm = 77 cm
When adding or subtracting, the answer is no more accurate than the least accurate number used.

Ronald, Kevin, and Paul perform an experiment to determine the value of acceleration due to gravity on the Earth (980 cm/s2). The following results were obtained: Ronald: 961 ± 12 cm/s2, Kevin: 953 ± 8 cm/s2, and Paul: 942 ± 4 cm/s2. .
Read the following question and justify who gets the most accurate and precise value
A. Kevin got the most precise and accurate value.
B. Ronald’s value is the most accurate, while Kevin’s value is the most precise.
C. Ronald’s value is the most accurate, while Paul’s value is the most precise.
D. Paul’s value is the most accurate, while Ronald’s value is the most precise.

Answer: C
Reason: Ronald’s answer is closest to 980 cm/s2, hence his result is the most accurate. Paul’s measurement is the most precise, it’s within 4 cm/s2.
The precision of a measurement is one-half of
the smallest division of the instrument.
