Study Notes
Properties of Matter
- Topics covered in the presentation include:
- Physics and Measurement
- Physical Quantities
- Systems of Units
- Conversion Factors
- This presentation introduces basic concepts in physics, specifically focusing on fundamental and derived quantities.
Physical Quantities
-
Fundamental Quantities are the base units of measurements.
- Mass (M)
- Length (L)
- Time (T)
-
Derived Quantities are combinations of fundamental quantities. Key example: Speed.
- Speed = distance/time = Length/Time = LT⁻¹
Other Derived Quantities and Dimensions
-
Quantity/Formula/Dimensions
- Density (p = Mass / Volume) = ML⁻³
- Velocity (v = Distance/Time) = LT⁻¹
- Acceleration (a = Velocity/Time) = LT⁻²
- Force (F = m a) = MLT⁻²
- Pressure (P = F/Area) = ML⁻¹T⁻²
- Work (W = F * Length) = ML²T⁻²
Systems of Units
- Standard International (SI) units are commonly used.
- Various systems exist (e.g., CGS, British Engineering). Examples:
- Length: meter (m), centimeter (cm), foot (ft)
- Mass: kilogram (kg), gram (gm), slug
- Time: second (s)
- Important Note: Slug = 14.59 kg
Conversion Factors
- Useful for converting between different units. Examples:
- 1 meter (m) = 100 cm = 39.4 inches = 3.28 feet = 6.21 × 10⁻⁴ miles
- 1 inch = 2.54 cm = 0.0254 m
- 1 foot = 0.305 m = 30.5 cm -1 mile = 1610 m = 1.61 km
Dimensional Analysis (Examples)
- Example (1): Kinetic and potential energy have the same dimensions (ML²T⁻²)
- Example (2): Young's double-slit experiment formula (d sin θ = nλ) is dimensionally correct (length=length).
- Example (3): Spring constant (k) has dimensions of MT⁻².
- Example (4): Demonstrates how to determine exponents using dimensional analysis.
- Example (5): Gravitational force constant (G) has dimensions of M⁻¹L³T⁻².
- Example (6): Demonstrates determining the relationship for periodic time of simple pendulum based on pendulum length, mass of its bob and acceleration due to gravity (g). Shows that T = K(L/g)½.
- Example (7): Conversion to compare a car's speed to a speed limit
- Example (8): Determining constants and relationships using dimensional analysis
