5. How to be successful in this class Be prepared: look at syllabus, read assigned chapter, do examples in text, do suggested homework. Come to class. Do quizzes. Form study groups, make use of internet resources, use tutors in physical science center. Talk to me before it gets to be too late.

6. Unit 1Measurements and Dimensional Analysis Reading Assignment: Chapter 1 Chapter 2: sections 2.1 and 2.4 only Chapter 3: section 3.1 only

7. Measurements Measurement: a number followed by a unit

8. Units of Measurement • The metric system or SI (international system) is • a decimal system based on 10. • used in most of the world. • used everywhere by scientists.

9. Length Metric and SI unit: meter (m) 1 m = cm 100 1 m = yd 1.09 Measured using meterstick, yardstick.

10. Volume Metric unit: liter (L), SI unit: cubic meter (m3) 1 L = qt 1.06 1 L = mL 1000 In Lab: measure volumes using graduated cylinders.

11. Mass Metric unit: gram (g), SI unit: kilogram (kg) 1 kg = g 1000 454 g = lb 1 Weight = measure of gravitational pull on an object. Mass = measure of quantity of material contained in an object Thus: measure mass not weight!

12. The Standard Kilogram The standard kilogram is housed at the International Bureau of Weights and Standards near Paris. NIST (= National Institute of Standards and Technology) maintains an official copy.

13. Temperature Metric unit: Celsius (°C), SI unit: Kelvin (K) Water freezes at °C and boils at °C. 0 100 0 °C = °F 32

14. Time Metric and SI unit: second (s) The NIST F-1 atomic clock is accurate to within one second every thirty million years.

15. Check SI Units Identify the measurement that has an SI unit. A. John’s height is 1) 1.5 yd. 2) 6 ft. 3) 2.1 m. B. The race was won in 1) 19.6 s. 2) 14.2 min. 3) 3.5 hr. C. The mass of a lemon is 1) 12 oz. 2) 0.145 kg. 3) 0.6 lb. D. The temperature is 1) 85C. 2) 255 K. 3) 45F.

16. Scientific Notation Used to write very large or very small numbers. = 8 x x x x x x = 1x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 hairs = 100,000 hairs = 0.000 008 m 1 1 1 1 1 1 10 10 10 10 10 10

17. Scientific notation numbers 2400 m = 2.4 x 103 m Coefficient = 1  9, Never 0 or ≥ 10 Power of 10

18. Scientific Notation: Large numbers For any number greater than 1: power of 10 is positive. 2400 m Each place moved counts as one 10, have moved 3 times.

19. Scientific Notation: small numbers For any number smaller than 1: power of 10 is negative. 0.00086 g Each place moved counts as one 10, have moved 4 times.

20. Scientific Notation

21. Scientific Notation

22. Check Select the correct scientific notation for each. A. 0.000 008 1) 8 x 106 2) 8 x 10-6 3) 0.8 x 10-5 B. 72 000 1) 7.2 x 104 2) 72 x 103 3) 7.2 x 10-4

23. Check Write each as a standard number. A. 2.0 x 10-2 1) 200 2) 0.00203) 0.020 B. 1.8 x 105 1) 180 000 2) 0.000 0183) 18 000

24. Check Is this a number in scientific notation? 55.0 x 103 m 145.0 x 10-5 g = 55000 m = 5.5 x 104 m = 0.00145 g = 1.45 x 10-3 g

25. Measured Numbers Obtained using a measuring tool.

26. Measured Numbers and Significant Figures 4.5 cm 4.55 cm

27. Measured Numbers and Significant Figures 3 cm or 3.0 cm Measured numbers consist of: Certain digit(s) and one estimated digit

28. Measured Numbers and Significant Figures 4.5 cm Certain digits vs estimated digits 4.55 cm

29. Significant Figures (SF) in measured numbers Count number of digits that are certain plus the one estimated one = number of SF of the measured number Measurement # of SF 38.15 cm 5.6 ft 65.5 g 122.55 m 4 2 3 5

30. Significant Figures (SF) in measured numbers Zeros are tricky, have rules! 56000 g 77089 g 0.000568 m 0.000507m 0.06700 g Trailing zeros, no decimal point, zeros don’t count. 2 SF Sandwiched zero, does count. 5 SF Leading zeros, decimal point, zeros don’t count. 3 SF Leading zeros, decimal point, zeros don’t count. 3 SF Sandwiched zero, does count. Leading zeros, decimal point, zeros don’t count. 4 SF Trailing zeros, decimal point, zeros count.

32. Check A. Which answer(s) contain 3 significant figures? 1) 0.4760 2) 0.00476 3) 4.76 x 103 B. All the zeros are significant in 1) 0.00307 2) 25.300 3) 2.050 x 103 C. The number of significant figures in 5.80 x 102 is 1) one 3) two 3) three

33. Exact Numbers Obtained by counting or by definition. No SF associated with exact numbers!

34. Check Classify each of the following as (1) exact or (2) measured numbers. A. Gold melts at 1064°C. (2)A measuring tool is required. B. 1 yard = 3 feet (1) This is a defined relationship. C. The diameter of a red blood cell is 6 x 10-4 cm. (2) A measuring tool is used to determine length. D. There are 6 hats on the shelf. (1) The number of hats is obtained by counting.
