Physics Chapter 1-3

1. Chapter 1

   • Problem Solving Techniques
     • Kudos
   • Scientific Notation and Significant Figures
     • Shorthand way of writing very large and/or very small numbers
   • Unit Dimensions and Conversions
     • Dimensions
       • Basic types of quantities that can be measured or computed
     • Dimensional Analysis
   • Vectors
     • Quantities that need special techniques
     • Can be added, multiplied, subtracted, or resolved into components

2. Chapter 2

   • Motion
     • Position
     • Velocity
     • Acceleration
   • Forces
   • Newtons Laws
     • An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
     • The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of an object
     • For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
