MEASUREMENTS VECTORS AND SCALARS

Metric-Metric SCALARS
- multiples of 10 - quantities are being measured with numbers and units.
- move decimal - magnitude only
1. Length
English-Metric 2. Temperature
- conversion 3. Time
- unit cancellation 4. Distance - travelled by object.
5. Speed - rate of change of distance.
FUNDAMENTAL PROPERTIES
1. Mass(weigh) VECTOR
2. Length - quantities are being measured with numbers and units, but
3. Time also have specific direction.
4. Temperature - magnitude and direction
1. Acceleration - rate of change in velocity
DERIVED QUANTITIES 2. Displacement - independent quantity
- density 3. Force
- velocity 4. Velocity - rate of change of displacement.
- force
KINEMATICS
METRIC SYSTEM
- multiples of 10 Mechanics
- moving decimals - dealing with the effect of forces.
 Mass-gram
 Length-meter TYPES OF KINEMATICS
 Liquid volume-liter 1. Kinematics
 Time-second - description of motion
2. Dynamics
METRIC TO ENGLISH - how motions are affected by forces
- proportions

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
- expressing very large or very small values
- standard form

ACCURACY AND PRECISION

Measurement
- quantity that has both a number and a unit
- fundamental to exp science

ACCURACY
- refers to how close a measurement to a true, accepted, and
target value
- absolute error or percentage error

PRECISION
- measure of how close a series of measurements are to one
another.

VALUE
1. ACCEPTED VALUE
- correct value based on reliable references.
2. EXPERIMENTAL VALUE
- value measured in the lab.
 Difference among them is error.
