Why study Physics?• “Physics is the foundation of all engineering and
technology.”
--- Young and Freedman, University Physics
• It’s an adventure! :)

The Nature of Physics
● Observable● Quantifiable● Repeatable
Physics looks for general laws and principles that govern the natural world.

Measurement:CONVERSION OF UNITS
Physics 10-5 || Ms. Teci Pulido 14
Unit Relations1 year = 12 months = 365.25 days
1 meter = 100 centimeters = 1,000 millimeters
1 kilometer = 1,000 meters
1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 12 inches
1 kilogram = 1,000 grams
1 gram = 1,000 milligrams
* 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters* 1 kilogram = 2.2 poundsT
K = T
C + 273
TF = T
C*9/5 + 32
Physics 10-5 || Ms. Teci Pulido 15
Unit Conversion
→ multiply by a fraction of equivalent relations.
Cancel units until you reach the desired unit.
Ex:
1 _____ seconds = 24 hours
2 _____ cm = 5.23 km
24 hours∗( 60minutes1 hour )∗( 60 seconds
1minute ) = 86,400 seconds
5.23km∗( 1000m1km )∗( 100cm
1m ) = 523,000 cm
Physics 10-5 || Ms. Teci Pulido 16
Trivia!● The exact number of days in a
year is always changing!● The “weighing scale” actually
measures mass, not weight!● “Absolute zero” (0 K) is the point
where molecules have zero energy!
● A “pound” abbreviated as “lb”!

Vectors
– straight line segments that indicate magnitude and direction
This is a vector :)
Ex: VectorMagnitude: 7.0 cmDirection: East or 0°
V

Physics 10-5 || Ms. Teci Pulido 22
Describing two vectors
Parallel
(same direction)
Equal
(same magnitude, same direction)
Physics 10-5 || Ms. Teci Pulido 23
“Equal” and “Opposite” Vectors
A
B
C
Example: Vectors A, B, C have same magnitudes (lengths)What about directions?
A = B
C =−B
A =−C
Physics 10-5 || Ms. Teci Pulido 24
NO negative magnitudes
• Magnitude (Length) >= 0• The negative sign in a vector refers to direction
• – î: left• – ĵ: downward• : two antiparallel vectors
Physics 10-5 || Ms. Teci Pulido 25
Vector Addition
● Computational
● Graphical– Tail-to-Tip
– Parallelogram
Add parallel components
Connect the tail of the next vector to the tip of the previous
Sum = Connect the first tail to the last tip
Draw parallelograms based on the x- and y-components Sum = the diagonal of the
resulting parallelogram
Physics 10-5 || Ms. Teci Pulido 26
Vector Addition
Ex: Add: A = 5 î + 2 ĵ and B = - î + ĵ
Computational Method
Polygon /Tail-to-TipMethod
Parallelogram /Tail-to-Tail
