Study Notes
Physical Quantities and Units
- Volume of a 1 cm cube: 1 x 10-6 m3
- Surface area of a cylinder (radius 2 cm, height 10 cm): (Calculate this value) mm2 (missing data)
- Distance covered by a vehicle (speed 18 km/h, time 1 second): (calculate this value) m
- Density of lead: 11.3 g/cm3 or 11300 kg/m3
- 1 kg m2 s−2 = 107 g cm2 s−2
- 1 m = (missing value) ly
- 3.0 m/s2 = (missing value) km/h2
- Gravitational constant (G): 6.67 × 10−11 N m2/kg2 = (missing value) cm3 s−2 g−1
- Calorie unit: 4.2 Joules (J) = 4.2 kg m2/s2
Systems of Units and Dimensional Analysis
- A calorie's magnitude (in new units): 4.2α-1β-2γ2
- Dimensional analysis: "Large" or "small" is meaningless without a comparison standard.
- Examples include: Atoms are very small objects, a jet plane moves with great speed, the mass of Jupiter is very large, etc.
Speed of Light and Distance
- Light travel time between Sun and Earth: (calculate this value based on provided time, not the information itself) (missing units)
Measurement Devices and Techniques
- Precision of measuring length: Vernier calipers, screw gauges, and optical instruments. An optical instrument is most precise.
- Microscopic hair measurement: Calculated width in mm, use 20 observations for average and magnification.
- Estimating thread diameter: Use a thread, a ruler, and careful measurements/data gathering.
- Screw gauge calibration: Increasing divisions on a screw gauge's circular scale does not improve measurement arbitrarily.
- Vernier caliper measurement precision: 100 measurements of the diameter give a more precise estimate than 5 measurements.
Linear Magnification and Significant Figures
- Linear magnification of projector: calculated value from provided data.
- Significance figures example: (Significant figures for provided data.)
