remainder of todays agenda
DESCRIPTION
Standard We Will Use We will follow the International System of Units – also known as the SI standard It includes: Distance measured in meters (m) Mass measured in kilograms (kg) Time measured in seconds (s) Charge measured in Coulombs (C) Temperature measured in degrees Kelvin (o K or K) That means we’ll need to convert other measures to our standard Refer to Appendix A in text for conversions and units tables Going back to our previous derived units, In the SI standard, Velocity is in m/s F = m x a is in kg x m/s2 = 1 Newton (N) Work = energy = F x d = N-m = 1 Joule (J) Current = i = charge/time = C/s = 1 Ampere or Amp (A) Power = work/time = J/s = 1 Watt (W) = I x voltage i.e. J/s = C/s x V => V = J/C = work/charge 2TRANSCRIPT

Remainder of Today’s Agenda• Primary and Secondary Physical
Quantities and Units
• Unit Conversion

Standard We Will Use• We will follow the International System of
Units – also known as the SI standard – It includes:
Distance measured in meters (m)Mass measured in kilograms (kg)Time measured in seconds (s)Charge measured in Coulombs (C)Temperature measured in degrees Kelvin (o K or K)
• That means we’ll need to convert other measures to our standard

Fundamental or Primary Quantities
• 7 SI base units: those from which all others are derived
– meter (m) length– kilogram (kg) weight– second (s) time– ampere (A) current– kelvin (K) temperature– candela (cd) luminosity– mole (mol) molecular quantity
Quick in-class exercise:– Identify physical examples, and electrical examples

Derived or Secondary Quantities• “SI derived unit”: derived from base units• Unlimited number of derived units!• Some examples:
– meter / second m/s velocity– meter / second squared m/s2 acceleration– newton (N) kg·m / s2 force– pascal (Pa) N / m2 pressure– joule (J) N·m energy– volt (V) kg m⋅ 2 s⋅ −3 A⋅ −1 voltage– watt (W) J / s power– ohm (Ω) V / A resistance– farad (F) C / V capacitance– henry (H) V s / A ⋅ inductance– hertz (Hz) 1 / s frequency

What Units Should We Use?• Example distance units:
• Example time units:

What Happens If We Mix Units?
• Consider the Mars Climate Orbiter that was launched in 1998 (see handout).
• It turns out that someone at NASA forgot to convert English units (pounds) to metric units (Newtons) when calculating the necessary rocket thrust to put the craft in orbit around Mars
• Guess what happened?

Class Activity #1a.) A tractor-trailer truck is traveling at 60 miles
per hour eastbound on Interstate 195 towards the North Dartmouth exit. Determine the speed of the truck i.) in feet per secondii.) in meters per secondiii.) in kilometers per hour.
b.) What is the maximum legal speed in centimeters per hour in a 55 miles per hour posted speed zone?
