It is criticl tht the vrile is in the numertor when it is isolted, otherwise you solved for the inverse or reciprocl of the vrile, not the vrile itself.

In science nd engineering fields, scientific nottion ( specil form which uses powers of ten) is often used to clerly communicte numer nd its significnt figures. Form of Scientific Nottion & Computtions with Powers of Ten Form of Scientific Nottion: A 10 n A is ny numer with one digit to the left of the deciml All digits in A re significnt n is n integer, equl to numer of plces the deciml ws moved n is positive if the numer is greter thn 1 n is negtive if the numer is less thn 1 Multiplying Numers (A 10 )(B 10 y ) = (A B) 10 +y 1.

() Answer the following questions showing ll work. After performing numericl clcultions, write the clcultor nswer down. Then write your finl nswer in scientific nottion nd with significnt figures nd o/highlight it. Physics uses the KMS system (SI: System Interntionle). KMS stnds for kilogrm, meter, second. These re the units of choice of physics. The equtions in physics depend on unit greement. So you must convert to KMS in most prolems to rrive t the correct nswer. Mesurements should e in consistent units efore doing clcultions. Mesurement units cn e converted from one to n equivlent using conversion fctor. Multiplying ny numer y the numer 1 does not chnge its vlue (61=6). Since the numertor nd the denomintor of conversion fctors re equl, conversion fctors re equl to the numer 1. For emple, since 1 meter = 3.81feet 1m 1 3.81ft The reson why it is vlid to multiply mesurement y conversion fctor is ecuse we re simply multiplying y the numer 1. If you mesured your height s 6.000 feet, this could e converted to meters: 6.000ft 1m 1.89m 1 3.81ft Questions 1. How mny seconds re in n hour? A dy? A yer?. A speed of 31.54Gm/hour is how mny meters/second? 3. A o hs volume of 4,70,000 cm 3. Wht is its volume in cuic meters?

Vectors Directions: Use your pst mth lerning nd the internet to ssist you in nswering the following. Be le to pply the concepts. Itlicized portions re from Stephnie Spencer s Summer Pcket or Northview HS Summer Pcket There re three types of numericl vlues used in science nd shown in the tle. Type Sclrs Vectors Prts Numer Only Mgnitude & Units Mgnitude, Units, & Direction Emple Coefficient of Friction μ = 0.05 Speed = 5m/s Velocity = 5 m/s Est Notes Rtios of vlues with the sme units Mny of the quntities in physics re vectors. This mkes proficiency in vectors etremely importnt. Mgnitude: Size or etent. The numericl vlue. Direction: Alignment or orienttion of ny position with respect to ny other position. Sclrs: A physicl quntity descried y single numer nd units. A quntity descried y mgnitude only. Emples: time, mss, nd temperture Vector: A physicl quntity with oth mgnitude nd direction. A directionl quntity. Emples: velocity, ccelertion, force Nottion: A or A Length of the rrow is proportionl to the vectors mgnitude. Direction the rrow points is the direction of the vector. 1. Identify the following s sclr (s) or vector (v). ) + 3 m/s c) 50 m/s Est ) crs d) 7.01 m e) 51 m/s f) 37 m upwrds Negtive Vectors Negtive vectors hve the sme mgnitude s their positive counterprt. They re just pointing in the opposite direction. Vector Addition nd sutrction A A Think of it s vector ddition only. The result of dding vectors is clled the resultnt. R A B R A + B = R So if A hs mgnitude of 3 nd B hs mgnitude of, then R hs mgnitude of 3+=5. When you need to sutrct one vector from nother, think of the one eing sutrcted s eing negtive vector. Then dd them. A B is relly A B R A + B = A negtive vector hs the sme length s its positive counterprt, ut its direction is reversed. So if A hs mgnitude of 3 nd B hs mgnitude of, then R hs mgnitude of 3+(-)=1. This is very importnt. In physics negtive numer does not lwys men smller numer. Mthemticlly is smller thn +, ut in physics these numers hve the sme mgnitude (size), they just point in different directions (180 o prt). Adpted y, Dominicn Sisters of Mry, Mother of the Euchrist pge 1 R
Adding Colliner Vectors Vectors hve oth mgnitude nd direction, thus we must tke the direction into ccount when dding or sutrcting vectors. The simplest cse occurs when vectors re colliner. Vectors re normlly represented y rrows. When dding, we used til-to-hed reltionship. Thus the til of the vector eing dded to the originl vector is plced t the hed of the originl vector. If they re in the sme direction, simply dd the mgnitudes of the vectors. The direction will e the sme s tht of the individul vectors. For emple, if someone wlked 10 m Est nd then 16 meters Est, we would drw the vectors s: The resultnt vector would e 6 m Est. It is drwn from the til of the first vector to the hed of the second one. If vectors re in the opposite direction, dd them, keeping in mind they hve opposite signs. The resultnt vector would e 6 m West. Sutrcting Colliner Vectors To sutrct two vectors, we simply hve to tke the opposite of the second vector nd dd it to the first.. Prctice: Add or sutrct the vectors s indicted. 15 m/s N + 0 m/s S. 40 m E + 60 m N c. 8 m N 15 m S Adpted y, Dominicn Sisters of Mry, Mother of the Euchrist pge 13
Adding non-colliner Vectors There re two methods of dding vectors tht will e discussed further in our -dimensionl kinemtics unit nd elow. Adding Perpendiculr Vectors The net simplest cse occurs when vectors re perpendiculr to ech other. We use the Pythgoren theorem to dd these vectors. For emple, if we hd force of 40 N pushing n oject due West nd force 30 N pushing n oject due North, we know the oject would move long pth etween the two forces s shown y the dshed line. A: Perpendiculr Vectors B: Direction of Resultnt C: Grphiclly dd the vectors hed-to-til nd drw the resultnt vector from the til of the first to the hed of the lst. Arrnging the vectors til-to-hed, the resultnt is now the hypotenuse, so it would equl 50 N s determined from the Pythgoren Theorem. To find the ngle, θ, tht the resultnt force cts long, we cn use the inverse tngent function. θ = Tn -1 (30/40) = 37 o ove the horizontl This tells us tht the two originl forces could e replced y single force of 50N cting t 37 o ove the horizontl. The 50N force t 37 o ove the horizontl is the sum of the originl forces. 3. Clculte the mgnitude nd direction of the resultnt vectors. (Hint: drw picture first then pply the Pythgoren theorem nd tngent function; rememer vectors hve mgnitude nd direction!). 5 m Est nd 4 m North. 3 m North nd 7 m West c. 5m/s N + m/s S + 4 m/s E + 6 m/s N Adding Vectors tht re not colliner nd not perpendiculr To dd vectors such s 70 m due E to 50 m t 30 o S of E we cn still use the grphicl technique of plcing the vectors hed-to-til nd drwing the resultnt vector from the til of the first vector to the hed of the second vector. It does not mtter which order we put the originl vectors in, the resultnt will lwys e the sme (give it try! http://phet.colordo.edu/sims/vector-ddition/vector-ddition_en.html). However, if we wnt more ccurte numericl nswer, we will need to use n lgeric/trigonometric pproch. If we rek ech vector into its nd y components, we cn dd ll of the -components of the vectors s colliner vectors; similrly with ll the y-components. Then we cn use the Pythgoren theorem to dd the perpendiculr vectors tht we hve clculted. See the net pge! Adpted y, Dominicn Sisters of Mry, Mother of the Euchrist pge 14
Algeric/Trigonometric Approch to Finding the Resultnt A. Strt y drwing picture. Don t skip this step; it will help you void direction errors. Set up n -y system. Lel the positive nd negtive directions. B. Use trig to determine the nd y components of ech vector. Be sure to tke directions into ccount y using + nd signs.. The 70 meter vector lies long the + is. Its component is its full length, 70m nd it hs no y component.. The 50 meter vector must e roken into components. Drw the components in the nd y direction to mke right tringle. The originl vector is the hypotenuse. c. The component of the 50 m vector cn e found using the cosine function in this cse. The y component cn e found using the sine function Note the negtive sign since we re going in the negtive y direction. Cos 30 = /50, so = 50 cos30 = 43.3 m Sin 30 = -y/50, so y = -50 sin30 = -5 m Note: the component won t lwys e cosine. It depends on the ngle you use. C. Mke tle to orgnize your dt. D. Add the components nd the y components. E. Use the Pythgoren Theorem to determine the resultnt vector. F. Use the tn -1 function to find the ngle θ = tn -1 (5/113.3) = 1.4 o 4. How does one do mthemticl (i.e. not grphicl) vector ddition? 5. Resolve the following vectors into their components.
