4 What is Physics? Theory A refined quantitative model for making predictions that has been verified by multiple groups of researchers and is understood to have some regime of validity.
5 What is Physics? Theory A refined quantitative model for making predictions that has been verified by multiple groups of researchers and is understood to have some regime of validity. eg. Newtonian Mechanics - very accurately predicts the motion of billiard balls and the motion of planets, but not the perihelion precession of Mercury, and not the behavior of electrons in atoms.

Newtonian Mechanics - very accurately predicts the motion of billiard balls and the motion of planets, but not the perihelion precession of Mercury, and not the behavior of electrons in atoms. Valid when v << c, gravitational fields are not too strong, distances are much bigger than l p (Planck length), etc.
7 What is Physics? Law A pattern in nature that can be described very concisely, often in a single mathematical equation.

13 Quantities, Units, Measurement If we want to make precise quantitative statements we need to agree on measurements: standard reference units. We will mostly use SI (Système International) units: Length Mass Time meter, m kilogram, kg second, s and many more!
14 Quantities, Units, Measurement If we want to make precise quantitative statements we need to agree on measurements: standard reference units. We will mostly use SI (Système International) units: Length Mass Time meter, m kilogram, kg second, s and many more! In all your answers, make sure you include the appropriate units!
15 Defining Units Originally, units were arbitrary. One unit of length (the cubit) was the length of a forearm and hand. This is convenient, but not very precise since different people have different length arms.
16 Defining Units Originally, units were arbitrary. One unit of length (the cubit) was the length of a forearm and hand. This is convenient, but not very precise since different people have different length arms. Physicists now strive to chose definitions for units that are based on fundamental physical phenomena - things anyone, anywhere could in principle observe consistently.
17 Units: Length The meter, m, is the SI unit of length. It is about 3.28 feet. Originally (in 1793) the meter was defined so that the distance from the North Pole to the equator would be 10 million meters. However, this is not any easy distance to measure.
18 Units: Length The meter, m, is the SI unit of length. It is about 3.28 feet. Originally (in 1793) the meter was defined so that the distance from the North Pole to the equator would be 10 million meters. However, this is not any easy distance to measure. In 1799 a physical bar was made that was officially declared to have marks on it 1 meter apart.
19 Units: Length The meter, m, is the SI unit of length. It is about 3.28 feet. Originally (in 1793) the meter was defined so that the distance from the North Pole to the equator would be 10 million meters. However, this is not any easy distance to measure. In 1799 a physical bar was made that was officially declared to have marks on it 1 meter apart. The current definition of the meter (since 1983) is more precise and more convenient for experiments: meter One meter is the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458-ths of a second.
20 Units: Time The SI unit of time is the second, s. The second was originally defined (via the minute and hour) as 1/86,400-th of a day.
21 Units: Time The SI unit of time is the second, s. The second was originally defined (via the minute and hour) as 1/86,400-th of a day. All clocks are based on oscillating systems - systems that repeat the same motion over and over again.
22 Units: Time The SI unit of time is the second, s. The second was originally defined (via the minute and hour) as 1/86,400-th of a day. All clocks are based on oscillating systems - systems that repeat the same motion over and over again. For example, the Earth rotates over and over again. A pendulum swings back and forth.
23 Units: Time The SI unit of time is the second, s. The second was originally defined (via the minute and hour) as 1/86,400-th of a day. All clocks are based on oscillating systems - systems that repeat the same motion over and over again. For example, the Earth rotates over and over again. A pendulum swings back and forth. It is now more precisely defined in terms of the behavior of Cesium atoms. (Rubiduim and other elements are also used.)
24 Units: Time The second is now more precisely defined in terms of the behavior of Cesium atoms. (Rubiduim and other elements are also used.) Devices used to measure time this way are called atomic clocks. They are accurate to 1 second in 100 million years. 1 Atomic clock FOCS-1, METAS, Bern, Switzerland; Chip photo, NIST.
25 Units: Time The second is now more precisely defined in terms of the behavior of Cesium atoms. (Rubiduim and other elements are also used.) Devices used to measure time this way are called atomic clocks. They are accurate to 1 second in 100 million years. The atomic clocks at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) are principle references for International Atomic Time. second One second is the time for the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine energy levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom to complete 9,192,631,770 oscillations.
26 Units: Time Measuring time accurately is very important for navigation. Accurate clocks were needed to help ships determine their longitude (East-West position) in the 1700s. This lead to the development of clocks that worked based on the oscillations of springs rather than pendulums. 1 Harrison H5 naval chronometer. Photo from user Racklever, Wikipedia.
27 Units: Time Measuring time accurately is very important for navigation. Now most navigation systems use the Global Positioning System (GPS) a constellation of satellites carrying atomic clocks. 1 Image from GPS.gov.
28 Units: Mass The kilogram, kg, is the SI unit of mass. Loosely speaking, mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. The kilogram currently does not have a definition in terms of natural phenomena. 1 kilogram is 1,000 grams. Originally, the gram was defined to be the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at the melting point of water.
29 Units: Mass Now the official 1-kilogram sample, the international prototype kilogram is a cylinder of platinum and iridium stored near Paris. An alternative definition of the kilogram in terms of a fundamental constant has been proposed and at some point may be adopted. 1 A replica of the prototype kilogram, Wikipedia, user Japs 88.
30 Dimensional Analysis All measurement values have associated units. Equations relating measurable physical values also relate units. This means units on each side of the equals sign must be equal. Dimensional analysis allows us to: check our equation is correct check our calculation figure out the final units of an answer if we can t remember what they should be This is very important!
31 Dimensional Analysis Examples distance traveled = speed time
32 Dimensional Analysis Examples Equation: distance traveled = speed time x = vt Distance is a length. In the textbook, a value with units length is written [L]. Time units would be [T]. Speed is a length covered in an amount of time: [L]/[T].
33 Dimensional Analysis Examples Equation: distance traveled = speed time x = vt Distance is a length. In the textbook, a value with units length is written [L]. Time units would be [T]. Speed is a length covered in an amount of time: [L]/[T]. The dimensions of our equation: [L] = [L] [T] [T]
34 Dimensional Analysis Examples Equation: distance traveled = speed time x = vt Distance is a length. In the textbook, a value with units length is written [L]. Time units would be [T]. Speed is a length covered in an amount of time: [L]/[T]. The dimensions of our equation: So, [L] = [L] [T] [T] [L] = [L]
35 Dimensional Analysis Examples Another one, v 2 = v ax a is an acceleration, a rate of change of speed. Units: [L]/[T]/[T] = [L]/[T 2 ] 2 is a constant and has no units.
36 Dimensional Analysis Examples Another one, v 2 = v ax a is an acceleration, a rate of change of speed. Units: [L]/[T]/[T] = [L]/[T 2 ] 2 is a constant and has no units. ( ) [L] 2 = [T] ( ) [L] 2 + [L] [T] [T 2 ] [L]
37 Dimensional Analysis Examples Another one, v 2 = v ax a is an acceleration, a rate of change of speed. Units: [L]/[T]/[T] = [L]/[T 2 ] 2 is a constant and has no units. ( ) [L] 2 = [T] ( ) [L] 2 + [L] [T] [T 2 ] [L] [L 2 ] [T 2 ] = [L2 ] [T 2 ] + [L2 ] [T 2 ] Units for each term are the same.
38 Dimensional Analysis Examples The other way to do dimensional analysis is directly in terms of the SI units that will be used. v 2 = v ax a is an acceleration, the rate of change of speed. Units: meters per second squared, m/s 2 Speed, v, has units m/s.
39 Dimensional Analysis Examples The other way to do dimensional analysis is directly in terms of the SI units that will be used. v 2 = v ax a is an acceleration, the rate of change of speed. Units: meters per second squared, m/s 2 Speed, v, has units m/s. ([m/s]) 2 = ([m/s]) 2 + [m/s 2 ][m]
40 Dimensional Analysis Examples The other way to do dimensional analysis is directly in terms of the SI units that will be used. v 2 = v ax a is an acceleration, the rate of change of speed. Units: meters per second squared, m/s 2 Speed, v, has units m/s. ([m/s]) 2 = ([m/s]) 2 + [m/s 2 ][m] [m 2 /s 2 ] = [m 2 /s 2 ] + [m 2 /s 2 ]
41 Dimensional Analysis Question Which of the following equations are dimensionally correct? (1) v f = v i + ax (2) y = (2 m) cos(kx), where k = 2 m 1. A (1) only B (2) only C both D neither 1 Serway & Jewett, Page 16, # 9.
42 Dimensional Analysis Question Which of the following equations are dimensionally correct? (1) v f = v i + ax (2) y = (2 m) cos(kx), where k = 2 m 1. A (1) only B (2) only C both D neither 1 Serway & Jewett, Page 16, # 9.
43 Dimensional Analysis Question (1) Units of v f = v i + ax: [ms 1 ] = [ms 1 ] + [ms 2 ] [m] [ms 1 ] = [ms 1 ] + [m 2 s 2 ] No. (1) is not dimensionally correct.
44 Dimensional Analysis Question (2) Units of y = (2 m) cos(kx) [m] = [m] cos([m 1 ] [m]) [m] = [m] Yes. (2) is dimensionally correct.
