Derived Quantities

• Can be expressed in terms of the basic quantities

• Examples– Velocity– Example 1– Any suggestions?

Derived Quantities

• More examples

Standard Prefixes

• Use prefixes for large and small numbers

• Table 1-3

• Commonly used prefixes– giga, mega, kilo– centi, milli, micro, nana, pico

Significant Figures

• The leftmost non-zero digit is the most significant figure.

• If there is no decimal point, the rightmost non-zero digit will be the least significant figure.

• If there is a decimal point, the rightmost digit is always the least significant figure.

The number of digits between the Most significant figure and least significant figure inclusive.

Scientific Notation

• Can indicate the number of significant numbers

Significant Figures

• Examples 5 and 6.

• See if you understand them.

Significant Figures

• Multiplication or division.– The least number of significant figures.

• Addition or subtraction.– The smallest number of significant digits on the

right side of the decimal point.

Order of Magnitude

• Table 1-4.

Measurement

• Length– Meter rule– Vernier caliper– Micrometer screw gauge

Practice

Measurement

• Time interval– Stop watch– Ticker tape timer– Timer scaler

Measurement

• Mass– Triple beam balance– Electronic balance

Measurement

• Computer data logging

Error Treatment

• Personal errors– Personal bias

• Random errors– Poor sensitivity of the apparatus

• System errors– Measuring instruments – Techniques

Accuracy and Precision

• Accuracy– How close the measurement to the true value

Precision– Agreement among repeated

measurements– Largest probable error tells the precision

of the measurement


• Examples 9 and 10


• Sum and difference– The largest probable error is the sum of the

probable errors of all the quantities.– Example 11


• Product, quotient and power– Derivatives needed

Parabolic Motion

• Two dimensional motion under constant acceleration.

• There is acceleration perpendicular to the initial velocity

• Examples:– Projectile motion under gravity.– Electron moves into a uniform electric field.
