The Scientific Method
• The scientific method is a way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments.
• Steps of the scientific : – Observation (Ask a Question)– Collect Data (Do Background Research)– Construct a Hypothesis (Educated guess)– Test Your Hypothesis by Doing Experiments – Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
• The conclusion is only valid if it can be verified by other people.
– Communicate Your Results

Section 2 Measurements in ExperimentsChapter 1
Numbers As Measurements
• Numerical measurements in science contain the value (number) and Dimension.
• Dimension is the physical quantity being measured (length, mass, time, temperature, electric current)
• Each dimension is measured using units and prefixes from the SI system.
• The dimension must match the unit. (ex. If you are measuring length, use the meter(m), not the kilogram(kg)
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved.
ResourcesChapter menu
Section 2 Measurements in ExperimentsChapter 1
• SI is the standard measurement system for science.• Used so that scientists can communicate with the
same language.• There are seven base units. They are:
– Meter(m) – length– kilogram(kg) – Mass– Second(s) – Time– Kelvin(K) – Temperature– Ampere(A) – current– Mole(mol) – amount of substance– Candela(cd) – luminous intensity

How good are the measurements?
• Scientists use two word to describe how good the measurements are:
• Accuracy- how close the measurement is to the actual value.
• Precision- how well can the measurement be repeated.
Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved.
ResourcesChapter menu
Differences
• Accuracy can be true of an individual measurement or the average of several.– Problems with accuracy are due to error
• Precision requires several measurements before anything can be said about it.– Precision describes the limitation of the measuring
instrument.

Percent Error
• Percent error = (Experimental Value – Accepted value) x 100
Accepted Value
• Percent error can be negative.

Tip: Think about the physical situation to determine whether to keep the positive or negative answer from the square root. In this case, the stroller starts from rest and ends with a speed of 2.18 m/s. An object that is speeding up and has a positive acceleration must have a positive velocity. So, the final velocity must be positive.

Free Fall
• Free fall is the motion of a body when only the force due to gravity is acting on the body.
• The acceleration on an object in free fall is called the acceleration due to gravity, or free-fall acceleration.
• Free-fall acceleration is denoted with the symbols ag (generally) or g (on Earth’s surface).

Free-Fall Acceleration• Free-fall acceleration is the same for all objects,
regardless of mass.• This book will use the value g = 9.81 m/s2.• Free-fall acceleration on Earth’s surface is –9.81 m/s2
at all points in the object’s motion. • Consider a ball thrown up into the air.
– Moving upward: velocity is decreasing, acceleration is –9.81 m/s2
– Top of path: velocity is zero, acceleration is –9.81 m/s2
– Moving downward: velocity is increasing, acceleration is –9.81 m/s2

Resolving Vectors into Components• You can often describe an object’s motion more conveniently by
breaking a single vector into two components, or resolving the vector.

0.227 m
The dart has an initial vertical component of velocity equal to vi sin , so:
yd = (vi sin )(t) + ½ay(t)2 yd = (50.0 m/s)(sin )(0.215 s) +½(–9.81 m/s2)(0.215 s)2

Frames of Reference• If you are moving at 80 km/h north and a car
passes you going 90 km/h, to you the faster car seems to be moving north at 10 km/h.
• Someone standing on the side of the road would measure the velocity of the faster car as 90 km/h toward the north.
• This simple example demonstrates that velocity measurements depend on the frame of reference of the observer.

Relative Velocity• When solving relative velocity problems, write down the
information in the form of velocities with subscripts.
• Using our earlier example, we have:• vse = +80 km/h north (se = slower car with respect to
Earth)• vfe = +90 km/h north (fe = fast car with respect to Earth)• unknown = vfs (fs = fast car with respect to slower car)
• Write an equation for vfs in terms of the other velocities. The subscripts start with f and end with s. The other subscripts start with the letter that ended the preceding velocity: • vfs = vfe + ves

Relative Velocity, continued• An observer in the slow car perceives Earth as moving south
at a velocity of 80 km/h while a stationary observer on the ground (Earth) views the car as moving north at a velocity of 80 km/h. In equation form:• ves = –vse
• Thus, this problem can be solved as follows:• vfs = vfe + ves = vfe – vse
• vfs = (+90 km/h n) – (+80 km/h n) = +10 km/h n
• A general form of the relative velocity equation is:• vac = vab + vbc

• You have seen that centripetal acceleration results from a change in direction.
• In circular motion, an acceleration due to a change in speed is called tangential acceleration.
• To understand the difference between centripetal and tangential acceleration, consider a car traveling in a circular track. – Because the car is moving in a circle, the car has a centripetal
component of acceleration. – If the car’s speed changes, the car also has a tangential
component of acceleration.

• The force exerted by the string has horizontal and vertical components. The vertical component is equal and opposite to the gravitational force. Thus, the horizontal component is the net force.

• Centripetal force is simply the name given to the net force on an object in uniform circular motion.
• Any type of force or combination of forces can provide this net force.
– For example, friction between a race car’s tires and a circular track is a centripetal force that keeps the car in a circular path.
– As another example, gravitational force is a centripetal force that keeps the moon in its orbit.

Describing a Rotating System, continued
Section 1 Circular Motion
• As the car enters the ramp and travels along a curved path, the passenger, because of inertia, tends to move along the original straight path.
• If a sufficiently large centripetal force acts on the passenger, the person will move along the same curved path that the car does. The origin of the centripetal force is the force of friction between the passenger and the car seat.
• If this frictional force is not sufficient, the passenger slides across the seat as the car turns underneath.

experiment that Newton developed. Consider a cannon sitting on a high mountaintop.

Each successive cannonball has a greater initial speed, so the horizontal distance that the ball travels increases. If the initial speed is great enough, the curvature of Earth will cause the cannonball to continue falling without ever landing.

• High and low tides are partly due to the gravitational force exerted on Earth by its moon.
• The tides result from the difference between the gravitational force at Earth’s surface and at Earth’s center.

Applying the Law of Gravitation, continued• Cavendish applied Newton’s law of universal gravitation to find the value of G and Earth’s mass.
• When two masses, the distance between them, and the gravitational force are known, Newton’s law of universal gravitation can be used to find G.
• Once the value of G is known, the law can be used again to find Earth’s mass.

• Gravity is a field force.• Gravitational field strength,
g, equals Fg/m.• The gravitational field, g,
is a vector with magnitude g that points in the direction of Fg.
• Gravitational field strength equals free-fall acceleration.

Kepler’s Laws
Kepler’s laws describe the motion of the planets.• First Law: Each planet travels in an elliptical orbit
around the sun, and the sun is at one of the focal points.• Second Law: An imaginary line drawn from the sun to
any planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals.
• Third Law: The square of a planet’s orbital period (T2) is proportional to the cube of the average distance (r3) between the planet and the sun.

Kepler’s Laws, continued
• Kepler’s laws were developed a generation before Newton’s law of universal gravitation.
• Newton demonstrated that Kepler’s laws are consistent with the law of universal gravitation.
• The fact that Kepler’s laws closely matched observations gave additional support for Newton’s theory of gravitation.

According to Kepler’s second law, if the time a planet takes to travel the arc on the left (∆t1) is equal to the time the planet takes to cover the arc on the right (∆t2), then the area A1 is equal to the area A2.
Thus, the planettravels faster when itis closer to the sunand slower when it is farther away.

normal force acting on you equals your weight. – If the elevator were to accelerate downward at 9.81
m/s2, you and the elevator would both be in free fall. You have the same weight, but there is no normal force acting on you.

The Magnitude of a Torque
• Torque is a quantity that measures the ability of a force to rotate an object around some axis.
• How easily an object rotates on both how much force is applied and on where the force is applied.
• The perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to a line drawn along the direction of the force is equal to d sin and is called the lever arm.
= Fd sin torque = force lever arm

The Sign of a Torque
• Torque is a vector quantity. In this textbook, we will assign each torque a positive or negative sign, depending on the direction the force tends to rotate an object.
• We will use the convention that the sign of the torque is positive if the rotation is counterclockwise and negative if the rotation is clockwise.
Tip: To determine the sign of a torque, imagine that the torque is the only one acting on the object and that the object is free to rotate. Visualize the direction that the object would rotate. If more than one force is acting, treat each force separately.

• Because the purpose of a simple machine is to change the direction or magnitude of an input force, a useful way of characterizing a simple machine is to compare the output and input force.
