UNIT 1- Mechanics
• Measurements
• Vectors
• Kinematics
Measurements
• A precise measurement means that you used
an appropriate tool to measure something as
closely as possible.
• For Example: A Bathroom Scale can’t be used
to measure the atomic mass of an atom.
Measurements
• However a tape measure can be used to
measure the length of a pencil to the closest
half centimeter…
Measurements
• Example: Using the ruler, what is the most
precise measurement you can get for the
paper clip? (How many decimal places can you
go?)

Vectors
• Vectors are number that have a magnitude
and a direction.
• Like walking 10m North then 5m East.
• They can be put together to make a triangle.
Vector Addition
• Vector Addition means basically finding out
what the hypotenuse of the triangle looks like.
• Imagine the two vectors. They would look
like:
10m North
5m East
Vector Addition
• What would their resultant (hypotenuse of the
triangle) look like?

one gets a horizontal velocity?

downward acceleration is the same for both.

Acceleration of Gravity
• When an astronaut is in orbit, they feel
weightless. Why?
Acceleration of Gravity
• The earth’s gravity keeps pulling him around
and around instead of going right past.
Acceleration of Gravity
• When gravity pulls something, it makes it fall.
Acceleration of Gravity
• …So in a way the astronaut is ALWAYS falling,
as long as he’s in orbit.
Acceleration of Gravity
• Astronauts feel weightless because they are in
constant free fall.

and the angle of incidence is 25°, what will the
angle of refraction be? (nair=1.00 and
nwater=1.33)

Photoelectric Effect
• Demonstrated the wave/particle duality of
light because it demonstrated one of light’s
wave properties: That the wave energy of the
photon is dependent on the light’s intensity.
Fusion and Fission
• Both Fusion and Fission share these
characteristics:
• 1) In either reaction, Mass is converted into
Energy.
• 2) In either process, the end Mass is LESS than
the beginning mass.
The Lens Equation
• If an object’s image appears to be 25cm from
a curved mirror, and the mirror’s focal length
is 10cm, what is the object’s actual distance?

Plane Mirrors
• The reflection of an object in front of a plane
mirror is called a REAL image.
Survival Skills with Lenses
• A fire can be started with just a lens and a
little bit of Physics.
Survival Skills with Lenses
• First you will need a converging lens to focus
sunlight. The light (and heat) will be sent to
the focal point of the lens

Survival Skills with Lenses
• If you turn the lens around, you can also use it
as a magnifying lens…
