  3. What is Physics? • A branch of science involving the study of the physical world and how they are related. • _________ • _________ • Physicists: ______________: • Motions of electrons, rockets, energy in sound waves, electrical circuits, and the structure of the proton and of the universe.

  4. Use Math! • Equations for modeling observations and making predictions.

  5. SI Units • Systeme International d’Unites, or SI system.

  6. SI Units

  7. Dimensional Analysis • http://www.alysion.org/dimensional/fun.htm • Method of treating units as algebraic quantities, which can be cancelled.

  8. Significant Digits • The valid digits in a measurement called _______________ _________. • Last digit given for any measurement is the ________________digit. • All nonzero digits in a measurement are __________________.

  9. Scientific Methods • The rules and procedures for testing a hypothesis! • ____________: An educated guess that is a testable statement. Also has to be a proposed answer to the question or prediction. • __________rule of nature that sums up related observations to describe a pattern in nature. • _____________: an explanation based on many observations supported by experimental results

  10. Measurement • A measurement is a comparison between an _________________quantity and a ________

  11. Precision vs. Accuracy • ____________: the degree of exactness of a measurement is precision. • ____________: describes how well the results of a measurement agree with the “real” value; the accepted value by experimenters.
