Study Notes
- Podcast: Singapore Study Zone, an audio guide for mastering Secondary 1 Science and Math topics.
Science Segment
- The International System of Units (SI) defines seven base quantities.
- Length is measured in meters (m).
- Mass is measured in kilograms (kg).
- Time is measured in seconds (s).
- Electric Current is measured in amperes (A).
- Temperature is measured in kelvin (K).
- Amount of Substance is measured in mole (mol).
- Luminous Intensity is measured in candela (cd).
- All other physical quantities are derived from these base quantities.
- Density is an example of a physical quantity derived from base quantities.
Varied Equations for Density
- Basic Density Equation: ρ = m/V, where ρ is density, m is mass, and V is volume.
- Mass from Density: m = ρ × V.
- Volume from Density: V = m/ρ.
Accuracy vs. Precision
- Accuracy indicates how close a measurement is to the true value.
- Precision reflects the consistency of repeated measurements.
Measurement Instruments – Vernier Calipers
- Vernier Calipers measure dimensions with high precision, typically accurate to about 0.02 mm.
- Vernier Calipers utilize a main scale and a vernier scale to read small differences accurately.
Additional Topics
- Other topics include Bunsen Burners, hazard symbols (nine key pictograms), unit conversion, and SI prefixes (e.g., kilo, centi, milli).
Math Segment
- Problem 1: Find the smallest integer k such that 120k is a perfect square.
- Factor 120 = 2^3 × 3 × 5.
- k must supply an extra 2, 3, and 5 to make each exponent even, so k = 30.
- Verification: 120 × 30 = 3600 = 60^2.
- Problem 2: Find the largest negative integer k such that -120k is a perfect square.
- With k = -30, we get -120 × (-30) = 3600 = 60^2.
Final Tips & Conclusion
- Understanding precision, accuracy, and the underlying equations is crucial in both measurement and algebraic equations.
