  2. Announcements • Homework Assignment #2 is due at 11:59 PM on Thursday, January 23 (Tonight!). • Three clickers that have been used in clicker sessions have unknown owners. They have clicker numbers: 613371, 682117, and 684611. If one of these is your clicker, send me email to register it. I have sent new email to 7 students who do not have registered clickers. • My office hours are 12:30-1:20 PM on Tuesdays (i.e., the hour before this class) and Thursdays at 2:30-3:20 PM in the “114” area of the Physics Study Center on the Mezzanine floor of PAB A (this building). I’ll be there today after class. Physics 114A - Review 01

  3. About Exam 1 • On Friday, January 24 (tomorrow) we will have Exam 1, which covers Walker, Chapters 1-4 and my lectures 1-9. • Exam 1 will have assigned seating. Seating assignments have been posted on Catalyst and posted on the doors of this room. Get your seat assignment before coming to Exam 1. • Exam 1 is closed-book, but you may bring with you one page of notes on an 8½x11” sheet of paper (both sides). Also bring a Scantron sheet,a #2 pencil, and a scientific calculator with good batteries. Prepare your Scantron in advance. • The exam copies will be on the tables in the back as you enter this room. Take one. • Exam 1 will have a multiple-choice section (15 questions, 75 pts) based on lecture example problems, homework, and “two-dot” end-of-chapter problems in Walker. Circle your MC answers. • Exam 1 will also have a free-response section (4 questions, 25 pts) based on “Conceptual Questions” from Walker requiring thoughtful written answers.

  6. Units of Chapter1 Physics and the Laws of Nature Units of Length, Mass, and Time Dimensional Analysis Significant Figures Converting Units Order-of-Magnitude Calculations Scalars and Vectors Problem Solving in Physics Physics 114A - Review 01

  7. Summary of Chapter 1 • Physics is based on a small number of laws and principles • Units of length are meters; of mass, kilograms; and of time, seconds • All terms in an equation must have the same dimensions • The result of a calculation should have only as many significant figures as the least accurate measurement used in it Physics 114A - Review 01

  8. Dimensional Analysis (1) Any valid physical equation must be dimensionally consistent – each side must have the same dimensions. Basic Units: Mass = M => kilogram = kg Length = L => meter = m Time = T => second = s From the Table: Distance = velocity × time Velocity = acceleration × time Energy = mass × (velocity)2 Physics 114A - Review 01

  9. Dimensional Analysis (2) Example: The periodP(T)of a swinging pendulum depends only on the length of the pendulumd(L)and the acceleration of gravityg(L/T2). Which of the following formulas forPcouldbe correct ? P =2 (dg)2 (a) (b) (c) Physics 114A - Review 01

  10. Dimensional Analysis (3) Remember that Pis in units of time (T), d is length (L) and g is acceleration (L/T2). The both sides must have the same units Try equation (a). Try equation (c). Try equation (b). (a) (b) (c) Physics 114A - Review 01
