Physics
• The goal of physics is to use a small number of basic concepts, equations, and assumptions to describe the physical world.
• These physics principles can then be used to make predictions about a broad range of phenomena.
• Physics discoveries often turn out to have unexpected practical applications, and advances in technology can in turn lead to new physics discoveries.

• There is no single procedure that scientists follow in their work. However, there are certain steps common to all good scientific investigations.
• These steps are called the scientific method.

Models
• Physics uses models that describe phenomena.
• A model is a pattern, plan, representation, or description designed to show the structure or workings of an object, system, or concept.
• A set of particles or interacting components considered to be a distinct physical entity for the purpose of study is called a system.

Hypotheses
• Models help scientists develop hypotheses.
• A hypothesis is an explanation that is based on prior scientific research or observations and that can be tested.
• The process of simplifying and modeling a situation can help you determine the relevant variables and identify a hypothesis for testing.

Hypotheses, continued
Galileo modeled the behavior of falling objects in order to develop a hypothesis about how objects fall.
If heavier objects fell faster than slower ones,would two bricks of different masses tied together fall slower (b) or faster (c) than the heavy brick alone (a)? Because of this contradiction, Galileo hypothesized instead that all objects fall at the same rate, as in (d).

Numbers as Measurements
• In SI, the standard measurement system for science, there are seven base units.
• Each base unit describes a single dimension, such as length, mass, or time.
• The units of length, mass, and time are the meter (m), kilogram (kg), and second (s), respectively.
• Derived units are formed by combining the seven base units with multiplication or division. For example, speeds are typically expressed in units of meters per second (m/s).

Dimensions and Units
• Measurements of physical quantities must be expressed in units that match the dimensions of that quantity.
• In addition to having the correct dimension, measurements used in calculations should also have the same units.
For example, when determining area by multiplying length and width, be sure the measurements are expressed in the same units.

Accuracy and Precision
• Accuracy is a description of how close a measurement is to the correct or accepted value of the quantity measured.
• Precision is the degree of exactness of a measurement.
• A numeric measure of confidence in a measurement or result is known as uncertainty. A lower uncertainty indicates greater confidence.

Significant Figures
• It is important to record the precision of your measurements so that other people can understand and interpret your results.
• A common convention used in science to indicate precision is known as significant figures.
• Significant figures are those digits in a measurement that are known with certainty plus the first digit that is uncertain.

Mathematics and Physics
• Tables, graphs, and equations can make data easier to understand.
• For example, consider an experiment to test Galileo’s hypothesis that all objects fall at the same rate in the absence of air resistance.
– In this experiment, a table-tennis ball and a golf ball are dropped in a vacuum. – The results are recorded as a set of numbers corresponding to the times of the
fall and the distance each ball falls.– A convenient way to organize the data is to form a table, as shown on the next
slide.

Physics Equations• Physicists use equations to describe measured or predicted relationships between physical
quantities.
• Variables and other specific quantities are abbreviated with letters that are boldfaced or italicized.
• Units are abbreviated with regular letters, sometimes called roman letters.
• Two tools for evaluating physics equations are dimensional analysis and order-of-magnitude estimates.

Equation from Dropped-Ball Experiment• We can use the following equation to describe the relationship
between the variables in the dropped-ball experiment:
(change in position in meters) = 4.9 (time in seconds)2
• With symbols, the word equation above can be written as follows:
y = 4.9(t)2
• The Greek letter (delta) means “change in.” The abbreviation y indicates the vertical change in a ball’s position from its starting point, and t indicates the time elapsed.
• This equation allows you to reproduce the graph and make predictions about the change in position for any time.

16. You have decided to test the effects of four different garden fertilizers by applying them to four separate rows of vegetables. What factors should you control? How could you measure the results?
Sample answer: Because the type of fertilizer is the variable being tested, all other factors should be controlled, including the type of vegetable, the amount of water, and the amount of sunshine. A fifth row with no fertilizer could be used as the control group. Results could be measured by size, quantity, appearance, and taste.

17. In a paragraph, describe how you could estimate the number of blades of grass on a football field.
Answer: Paragraphs should describe a process similar to the following: First, you could count the number of blades of grass in a small area, such as a 10 cm by 10 cm square. You would round this to the nearest order of magnitude, then multiply by the number of such squares along the length of the field, and then multiply again by the approximate number of such squares along the width of the field.
