Solutions and Practice Workbooks


1.2

Significant Figures - answers-can only be as accurate as the least accurate measurement

ex. 1.06=3 sig figs, 100 = 1,2,3 sig figs, 1.00= 3 sig figs



1.2

Uncertainty Values - answers-General area of how much the answer will vary

ex. 2.26+or- 0.25? = 11% uncertainty

Trailing Zeros do count

applied uncertainty: x/y * 100



2

Mechanics - answers-Study of motion, composed of Dynamics and Kinematics



2

Dynamics - answers-why objects move how they do



2

Kinematics - answers-how objects move



2


1

, Translational Motion - answers-objects that move without rotating



2

Distance - answers-how far you go

Scalar



2

Reference Frame - answers-any measurement of position, distance, or speed must be made w/
respect to a frame of reference.

ex. train traveling 80km/h see someone walking past you 5km/h. Train as frame of reference.
80km/h + 5km/h = 85 km/h on train

any measurement of position, distance, or speed



2

Displacement - answers-how far and in what direction

Vector



2

Speed - answers-how fast or slow

scalar



2

Velocity - answers-how fast or slow and in what direction

vector

Direction/Time
