Week 1
Chapter 1 Sections 1–6– Measurement– International System of Units (SI System)– Conversion of Units– Length– Time– Mass
![Page 4: Physics 111 Honors Classical Mechanics Prof. Haimin Wang haimin@flare.njit.edu haimin](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e6c5503460f94b6a772/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
MeasurementsUse laws of physics to describe many different physical
systems– Small set of simple laws
– Common language is mathematics
Test laws by experiments– Select smallest set of standards and derive other standards
– International Bureau of Weights and Measures (Paris), National Bureau of Standards, etc.
– Système Internationale (SI), International System of Units, metric system, or mksA system

PrecisionMeasurements
– Uncertainties• Absolute• Percent
– Calculation• Result can not be better than data• Use scientific notation to show significant figures
– Examples• 3.14 + 0.5 = 3.6• 123,400,000 = 1.234 x 108
• 0.003 = 3 x 10-3
