•Matter: Anything that has mass and occupies space.

•Mass : The quantity or amount of matter that an object possesses.– Fixed– Independent of the object’s

location

•Weight: A measure of the earth’s gravitational attraction for an object.– Not fixed– Depends on the object’s location.

Scientific Notation of Numbers

Scientific Notation of Numbers

26

• Very large and very small numbers are often encountered in science.

6022000000000000000000000.00000000000000000000625

• Very large and very small numbers like these are awkward and difficult to work with.

27

602200000000000000000000

A method for representing these numbers in a simpler form is scientific notation.

28

Scientific Notation

• Write a number as a power of 10

• Move the decimal point in the original number so that it is located after the first nonzero digit.

• Follow the new number by a multiplication sign and 10 with an exponent (power).

• The exponent is equal to the number of places that the decimal point was shifted.

The Metric System

The Metric System

33

• The metric or International System (SI, Systeme International) is a decimal system of units.

• It is built around standard units.

• It uses prefixes representing powers of 10 to express quantities that are larger or smaller than the standard units.

Dimensional Analysis

Dimensional analysis converts one unit to another by using conversion factors.

unit1 x conversion factor = unit2

39

Basic Steps

1. Read the problem carefully. Determine what is to be solved for and write it down.

2. Tabulate the data given in the problem.– Label all factors and measurements with

the proper units.

40

3. Determine which principles are involved and which unit relationships are needed to solve the problem.

– You may need to refer to tables for needed data.

4. Set up the problem in a neat, organized and logical fashion.

– Make sure unwanted units cancel. – Use sample problems in the text as

guides for setting up the problem.

Basic Steps

41

5. Proceed with the necessary mathematical operations.

– Make certain that your answer contains the proper number of significant figures.

6. Check the answer to make sure it is reasonable.

Degree Symbols

degrees Celsius = oC

Kelvin (absolute) = K

degrees Fahrenheit = oF

Temperature Conversions

o o oF - 32 = 1.8 x C

To convert between the scales use the following relationships.

o o oF = 1.8 x C + 32

oK = C + 273.15

oo F - 32C =

It is not uncommon for temperatures in the Canadian planes to reach –60oF and below during the winter. What is this temperature in oC and K?

oK = C + 273.15

oK = -51 C + 273.15 = 222 K
