Matter & Energy I - Module I Review

This scientist established electromagnetic theory

What is the angle of a vector going 15^o SW?

This is used to express very small or very large numbers

A quantity specified by a magnitude and direction

This error is expressed as the ratio of absolute error and measured magnitude

A process that consists in comparing an unknown magnitude with another already known

This scientist established the basics of classical mechanics

Convert 5 m to yd

A vector in the third quadrant has negative Rx and Ry. To find the angle using a proportional angle "x" you would use:

If vector A = 8 m, 0^o, find -3A

What is 3x10⁴ in decimal notation?

This scientist observed the behavior of bodies and tried to establish laws to explain them

This refers to a number and a unit of measure

This refers to a particular physical quantity, used to compare other quantities of the same kind to show their value

A process where an unknown magnitude is measured through mathematical calculations

What are the components of vector Q = 20 m, 60^o SW?

Error caused due to imperfect calibration of the measurement instrument

This branch of physics studies quantum and relativity theories

A quantity that is only specified by a magnitude

What is the angle of a vector going 30^o SE?

Convert 35 m/s to km/h

This scientist established the theory of relativity

This scientist established the principle of hydrostatics and buoyant forces

A ship sails 3 km North and 4 km West. What is the total displacement?

If vector A = 5 m, 0^o, find 2A

A quantifiable or assignable property attached to a particular phenomenon, body or substance.

This scientist formulated the laws of movement

What are the components of vector B = 10 km, 30^o SE?

This error is the difference between the real value of a magnitude and the measured value

This error occurs when magnitude varies. It is difficult to anticipate

Convert 4 inches to cm

What is 7.5x10^-3 in decimal notation?

This branch of physics studies small velocities compared to light speed

Grandma travels 5 m East and 12 m South. What is the total distance traveled?
