Converting Units Order of Magnitude: Rapid Estimating Dimensions and Dimensional Analysis
1-1 The Nature of Science The principles of physics are used in many practical applications, including construction. Communication between architects and engineers is essential if disaster is to be avoided.
Percent uncertainty is the ratio of the uncertainty to the measured value, multiplied by 100: The photograph to the left illustrates this it would be difficult to measure the width of this board more accurately than 1 mm.
Using a protractor, you measure an angle to be 30. (a) How many significant figures should you quote in this measurement? (b) Use a calculator to find the cosine of the angle you measured.
Time
Mass
These are the standard SI prefixes for indicating powers of 10. Many are familiar; yotta, zetta, exa, hecto, deka, atto, zepto, and yocto are rarely used.
So if we have measured a length of 21.5 inches, and wish to convert it to centimeters, we use the conversion factor:
Estimate how much water there is in a particular lake, which is roughly circular, about 1 km across, and you guess it has an average depth of about 10 m. Diagrams are also very useful in making estimations.
Estimate the thickness of a page of your textbook. (Hint: you dont need one of these!)

Summary of Chapter 1
Theories are created to explain observations, and then tested based on their predictions. A model is like an analogy; it is not intended to be a true picture, but to provide a familiar way of envisioning a quantity. A theory is much more well developed, and can make testable predictions; a law is a theory that can be explained simply, and that is widely applicable. Dimensional analysis is useful for checking calculations.
Summary of Chapter 1
Measurements can never be exact; there is always some uncertainty. It is important to write them, as well as other quantities, with the correct number of significant figures. The most common system of units in the world is the SI system. When converting units, check dimensions to see that the conversion has been done properly. Order-of-magnitude estimates can be very helpful.

Chapter 3 Vectors
For vectors in one dimension, simple addition and subtraction are all that is needed. You do need to be careful about the signs, as the figure indicates.
If the components are perpendicular, they can be found using trigonometric functions.
1. Draw a diagram; add the vectors graphically. 2. Choose x and y axes. 3. Resolve each vector into x and y components. 4. Calculate each component using sines and cosines. 5. Add the components in each direction. 6. To find the length and direction of the vector, use: and .
