VOCABULARY:1. Position-time graph: graph that

shows how position depends on clock reading or time.

2. Slope: ratio of the vertical separation of 2 points on a curve or rise, to the horizontal separation of the points, or run; rise divided by run; change in distance/change in time.

3. Velocity-time graph: plot of velocity of an object as a function of time.

IN SCIENCE… Numbers are based on measurement made in the lab.

Our data is only as good as the measurements we make and the instruments we use.

QUANTITATIVE DATA

Something that has a magnitude size or amount

Ex. Length, mass, volume

SI UNITS OF MEASUREMENT One system for all scientists around

the world; We must have a standard for

comparisonlength-meter (m)mass- kilogram(kg)time- second (s)volume – liter (L)

SI PREFIXES Added to base units to represent large or smaller

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES Shows how PRECISE a

measurement is Indicates the QUALITY of the

instrument you use (how sensitive or exact)

EX. Graduated cylinder vs. beaker

SIG FIG RULES!

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION Used to write really LARGE or really small #’s

Why? To save space & time

SCI. NOTATION RULES Written in the form of mX10n

m: > or equal to 1 AND <10

EX: 1.0X103

THE STEPS OF THE SCIENTIFIC NOTATION Step 1) Determine the sig figs

106,000,000 Step 2) Determine the value of M using the

sig figs1.06

Step 3) Add the 10’s multiplier1.06 x 10n

Step 4) Determine the value of “n” by counting the number of times you move the decimal in the original number to get the value for “M”

Step 5) Determine the sign of “n” by looking at the direction that you moved the decimal in the original # to get the value or “M” If you move the decimal to the left in the orginal

# “n” is positive If you move the decimal to the right from the

original #, “n” is negative

CALCULATIONS WITH SIG FIGS Multiplication/Division

1) Multiply/ Divide using original numbers

2) Report answer using the same # of sig figs as the least precise measurement in the problem

RULES FOR ROUNDING -Digit to the right is ≥ 5: Round UP

-Digit to the right is<5: Round DOWN

ADDITION/SUBTRACTION1)Add/subtract with original

numbers2)Report answer using the same #

of decimal places as the least precise measurement in the problem.
