Study Notes
Energy Conservation
- Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
- Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy in various systems.
Potential to Kinetic Energy Conversions
- Gravitational System: Lifting an object stores potential energy, which is released as kinetic energy when it falls.
- Spring System: A stretched spring contains potential energy that converts to kinetic energy when released, demonstrating energy conservation.
- Charged Particles: Separating oppositely charged particles stores potential energy, which converts to kinetic energy as they attract each other.
- Fuel Combustion: Chemical potential energy in fuel converts to kinetic energy, powering a car as the fuel burns.
Scientific Method
- Utilizes quantitative analysis to understand materials, moving beyond trial and error.
- Steps:
- Observation: Can be qualitative (visual) or quantitative (measured).
- Hypothesis: A testable and falsifiable explanation for observations.
- Experimentation: Designs predictions based on the hypothesis, executed to test them.
- Conclusions: Assess experimental data to validate or invalidate the hypothesis.
SI Base Units
- Mass: kilogram (kg)
- Length: meter (m)
- Time: second (s)
- Temperature: kelvin (K)
- Amount of substance: mole (mol)
- Electric current: ampere (A)
- Luminous intensity: candela (cd)
SI and English Equivalent Quantities
- Length:
- 1 km = 1000 m
- 1 m = 100 cm
- 1 cm = 0.01 m
- Volume:
- 1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³
- 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³
- Mass:
- 1 kg = 1000 g
Significant Figures
- Multiplication/Division: Output retains the number of significant figures from the measurement with the fewest significant figures.
- Addition/Subtraction: Output follows the measurement with the fewest decimal places.
- Rounding rules: Adjust based on digits removed (greater than 5, less than 5, or exactly 5 followed by zeros).
Precision and Accuracy
- Precision: Closeness of measurements in a series.
- Accuracy: Closeness of measurements to the true value.
- Errors:
- Systematic error: Affects all measurements in one direction (higher or lower).
- Random error: Causes variations above and below the true value.
Density
- Defined as mass per unit volume, it is a characteristic physical property at given temperature and pressure.
- Density varies by substance, e.g.:
- Water: 0.998 g/cm³
- Gold: 19.3 g/cm³
Conversion Factors
- Ratios used to express quantities in different units, essential for converting measurements accurately in calculations.
Laboratory Practices
- Understanding the limits of measuring devices influences the accuracy of significant figures.
- Exact numbers have no uncertainty and do not limit significant figures in calculations.
