Study Notes
Significant Figures and Scientific Notation
- Significant figures indicate precision in measurements; calculations must preserve the appropriate number of significant figures.
- Example calculations for significant figures provided varied problems:
- Subtraction: 5.80 x 10^-1 - 3.4 x 10^-2
- Division: 4.5 x 10^14 / 8.3 x 10^8
- Multiplication: 6.2 x 10^-13 x 5.68 x 10^8
Conversion to Decimal Format
- Scientific notation can be converted into decimal form for clarity:
- 2.340 x 10^-4 = 0.000234
- 4.5 x 10^4 = 45,000
Unit Conversions
- Unit conversion often requires understanding different metric and US customary units:
- Conversion of milliliters to quarts using 1 L = 1.06 qt.
Applications of Measurement
- Important to express calculations with correct units and significant figures:
- Calculations involving addition and division yield results in specific units (e.g., m/s or m²/s).
Distance and Speed Calculations
- A long-distance triathlon consists of swim, bike, and run segments, with a total distance conversion involved to kilometers.
- Cyclist's average speed calculation in miles per hour with result in minutes for a 125 km race highlights the use of unit conversion.
Density and Mass Calculations
- Iron's density given as 7.87 g/cm³, the volume calculation for covering a football field in lbs needed to calculate mass required.
- Density used in practical scenarios, such as determining the density of a chunk of gold from the observed volume displaced.
Dimensional Analysis
- Important method to convert between units:
- American measurements converted to metric for construction projects (cubic yards to cubic meters).
Economic Comparisons
- Cost analysis of food products, such as soft drinks, where the unit price is compared between different volumes to determine relative expense.
Dosage Calculations
- Drug dosage must be calculated based on body weight with conversion needed for weight units (lb to kg).
Volume and Weight Estimation
- Estimating the weight of a large rock object by using measured volume and density:
- Example dimensions and methods to compute total mass in pounds from calculated volume.
Excavation Workload Estimation
- Estimating the number of loads needed for dirt removal based on weight capacity of dump trucks, after measuring volume and weight of removed dirt.
