Study Notes
Temperature Conversion
- Convert Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F) using the formula: °F = °C x 1.8 + 32
- Convert Celsius (°C) to Kelvin (K) using the formula: K = °C + 273.15
Units of Measurement Conversion
- Use dimensional analysis to convert units
- Ensure that the units you want to convert to appear in the numerator
- To cancel units, place the same unit in the denominator
Average Deviation
- Average deviation measures how spread out measurements are from the mean
- Lower average deviation indicates higher precision, meaning measurements are closer to the mean
- Higher average deviation indicates lower precision, suggesting measurements are more spread out
Vectors
- Vectors have both magnitude and direction
- Scalars have only magnitude
- Vectors are represented by arrows, while scalars are represented by straight lines
- The sum of two vectors is called the resultant vector (R)
- Use trigonometric functions (SOH, CAH, TOA) to solve problems involving vectors
Resultant Vector and Angle of Direction
- Calculate the magnitude of the resultant vector using the equation: R² = a² + b²
- Determine the angle of direction using trigonometric functions like sine (SOH): sinθ = (opposite side) / (hypotenuse)
