4 Density Every substance has a density, designated ρ M/V Dimensions of density are, units (kg/m 3 ) ρ M 3 L Some examples, Substance ρ (10 3 kg/m 3 ) Gold 19.3 Lead 11.3 Aluminum 2.70 Water 1.00 Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 7 Atomic Density In dealing with macroscopic numbers of atoms (and similar small particles) we often use a convenient quantity called Avogadro s Number, N A x atoms per mole Commonly used mass units in regards to elements 1. Molar Mass mass in grams of one mole of the substance (averaging over natural isotope occurrences) 2. Atomic Mass mass in u (a.m.u.) of one atom of a substance. It is approximately the total number of protons and neutrons in one atom of that substance. 1u x kg What is the mass of a single carbon (C 12 ) atom? 12. g/mol M (carbon) 23 2 x g/atom atom/mol Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 8 Page 4
5 Order of Magnitude Calculations / Estimates Question: What is the earth s s radius in meters? Need to know something from your experience: Flying from NYC to SF one accumulates ~ 3,000 miles NYC to SF spans about 1/8 of the Earth s circumference So, the Earth s circumference L 3,000 x 8 ~ 24,000 mi Since circumference of a circle is : L 2 π r Estimate of Earth radius : L r 2 π 24,000mi 4,000mi 6 4 x 10 3 mi 4 x 10 3 mi x1.6 km/mi x10 m/km ~ 6.4x10 3 km 6x10 6 m Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 9 Order of Magnitude Calculations / Estimates Question: If you were to eat one french fry per second, estimate how many years would it take you to eat a linear chain of trans-fat free french fries, placed end to end, that reach from the earth to the moon? Need to know something from your experience: Average length of french fry: 3 inches or 8 cm, 0.08 m Earth to moon distance: 250,000 miles In meters: 1.6 x 2.5 X 10 5 km 4 X 10 8 m ff m m Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 10 Page 5
6 Converting between different systems of units Useful Conversion factors: 1 inch 2.54 cm 1 m 3.28 ft 1 mile 5280 ft 1 mile 1.61 km Example: Convert miles per hour to meters per second: mi 1mi 5280 ft 1m 1hr m hr hr mi 3.28ft 3600 s s 1 m 2 s Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 11 Home Exercise 1 Converting between different systems of units When on travel in Europe you rent a small car which consumes 6 liters of gasoline per 100 km. What is the MPG of the car? (There are 3.8 liters per gallon.) km 100 km l 6 l mi 1.6 km 3.8 l gal 39.6 mi gal mi 40 gal Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 12 Page 6
7 Dimensional Analysis This is a very important tool to check your work Provides a reality check (if dimensional analysis fails then no sense in putting in the numbers; this leads to the GIGO paradigm) Example When working a problem you get the answer for distance d v t 2 ( velocity time 2 ) Quantity on left side L Quantity on right side L / T x T 2 L x T Left units and right units don t t match, so answer is nonsense Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 13 Exercise 1 Dimensional Analysis The force (F) to keep an object moving in a circle can be described in terms of: velocity (v,(, dimension L / T) of the object mass (m,(, dimension M) radius of the circle (R,(, dimension L) Which of the following formulas for F could be correct? Note: Force has dimensions of ML/T 2 or kg-m / s 2 (a) F mvr (b) F m v R 2 (c) F mv R 2 Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 14 Page 7
8 Significant Figures The number of digits that have merit in a measurement or calculation. When writing a number, all non-zero digits are significant. Zeros may or may not be significant. those used to position the decimal point are not significant (unless followed by a decimal point) those used to position powers of ten ordinals may or may not be significant. In scientific notation all digits are significant Examples: 2 1 sig fig 40 ambiguous, could be 1 or 2 sig figs (use scientific notations) 4.0 x significant figures significant figures significant figures Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 15 Significant Figures When multiplying or dividing, the answer should have the same number of significant figures as the least accurate of the quantities in the calculation. When adding or subtracting, the number of digits to the right of the decimal point should equal that of the term in the sum or difference that has the smallest number of digits to the right of the decimal point. Examples: 2 x x 10 1 / 2.04 x X See: Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 16 Page 8
9 Moving between pictorial and graphical representations Example: Initially I walk at a constant speed along a line from left to right, next smoothly slow down somewhat, then smoothly speed up, and, finally walk at the same constant speed. 1. Draw a pictorial representation of my motion by using a particle model showing my position at equal time increments. 2. Draw a graphical x-y representation of my motion with time on the x-axis and position along the y-axis. Can we develop a rigorous quantitative method with vectors for algebraically describing position, rate of change in position (vs. time), and the rate of change in the change of position (vs. time)? Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 17 Position Tracking changes in position: VECTORS Displacement Velocity Acceleration Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 18 Page 9
10 Motion in One-Dimension (Kinematics) Position / Displacement Position is usually measured and referenced to an origin: 10 meters At time 0 seconds Joe is 10 meters to the right of the lamp origin lamp positive direction to the right of the lamp position vector : -x 10 meters +x O Joe Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 19 Position / Displacement One second later Joe is 15 meters to the right of the lamp Displacement is just change in position. x x f - x i 10 meters 15 meters O x i x x f Joe x f x i + x x x f - x i 5 meters t t f - t i 1 second Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 20 Page 10
11 Speed & Velocity Changes in position vs Changes in time Average velocity net distance covered per total time, v ( average velocity) x(net displacement) t(total time) Speed, s,, is usually just the magnitude of velocity. The how fast without the direction. Average speed references the total distance travelled (scalar) s ( averagespeed) distance taken along path t(total time) Active Figure 1 Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 21 Representative examples of speed Speed (m/s( m/s) Speed of light 3x10 8 Electrons in a TV tube 10 7 Comets 10 6 Planet orbital speeds 10 5 Satellite orbital speeds 10 4 Mach Car 10 1 Walking 1 Centipede 10-2 Motor proteins 10-6 Molecular diffusion in liquids 10-7 Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 22 Page 11

(A) 4 m/s (B) 0 m/s (C) 1 m/s (D) not enough information to decide. Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 26 Page 13
14 Average Speed Exercise 5 What is the average speed over the first 4 seconds? Here we want the ratio: total distance travelled / time (Could have asked what was the speed in the first 4 seconds? ) x (meters) A. 2 m/s B. 4 m/s C. 1 m/s D. 0 m/s turning point t (seconds) Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 27 Key point: If the position x is known as a function of time, then we can find both velocity v x x(t) dx v x dt x t 1 t dt v( t) 0 Area under the v(t) curve yields the change in position Algebraically, a special case, if the velocity is a constant x v x t t then x( t)v t + x 0 Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 28 Page 14
15 Exercise 6, 6 (and some things are easier than they appear) A marathon runner runs at a steady 15 km/hr. When the runner is 7.5 km from the finish, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish at 30 km/hr. When the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner, and then turns around again, repeating the back-and-forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. How many kilometers does the bird travel? A. 10 km B. 15 km C. 20 km D. 30 km Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 29 Motion in Two-Dimensions (Kinematics) Position / Displacement Amy has a different plan (top view): N 10 meters At time 0 seconds Amy is 10 meters to the right of the lamp (East) origin lamp positive x-direction east of the lamp position y-direction north of the lamp -x 10 meters +x O Amy Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 30 Page 15

Note: bold fonts are vectors The average acceleration is a vector quantity directed along v a Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 32 Page 16
17 Instantaneous Acceleration The instantaneous acceleration is the limit of the average acceleration as v/ t approaches zero Quick Comment: Instantaneous acceleration is a vector with components parallel (tangential) and/or perpendicular (radial) to the tangent of the path (more in Chapter 6) Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 33 Assignment Recap Reading for Wednesday s class on 9/10» Finish Chapter 2 & all of 3 (vectors)» And first assignment is due this Wednesday Physics 207: Lecture 2, Pg 34 Page 17
