Introduction

Problem Solving

You need to understand the concepts first in

order to solve the problems.

You need a model in order to solve almost

any problem.

Physicists/engineers are famous for coming

up with simplified models for complicated

problems.

The first step is always “Draw a Diagram!” (DaD)

Some Techniques

Order-of-magnitude Estimate

A rough estimate is made by rounding off all

numbers to one significant figure and its

power of 10, and after the calculation is made,

again, only one significant figure is kept.

Introduction

You want to measure the height of a building. You stand 2m (2 strides) away from a 3m pole and see that it’s “in line” with the top of the building. You pace off about 16 more strides from the pole to the building. What is the height of the building?

Scalar Product • The scalar product (also called the “dot product”) of two vectors is

• Figures 1.25 and 1.26 illustrate the

scalar product.

• Find an angle using the scalar product.

Vector Product • The vector product (“cross product”) of two vectors has magnitude

and the right-hand rule gives its direction. See Figures 1.29 and 1.30.

Calculating the Vector Product

• Use ABsin to find the

magnitude and the

right-hand rule to find

the direction.

• Refer to Example

1.12.
