Description
Fundamentals of Physics is renowned for its superior problem-solving skills development, reasoning skills development, and emphasis on conceptual understanding.
In this course, interactive pathways of online learning alternate between short content presentations such as video or readings and carefully guided student engagements to simulate a discourse style of teaching 24/7.
Physics is based on measurement of physical quantities. Certain physical quantities have been chosen as base quantities (such as length, time, and mass); each has been defined in terms of a standard and given a unit of measure (such as meter, second, and kilogram). Other physical quantities are defined in terms of the base quantities and their standards and units.
The unit system emphasized in this book is the International System of Units (SI).Standards, which must be both accessible and invariable, have been established for these base quantities by international agreement.
These standards are used in all physical measurement, for both the base quantities and the quantities derived from them. Scientific notation and the prefixes of Table 1-2 are used to simplify measurement notation.
What you will learn
- Identify the base quantities in the SI system.
- Name the most frequently used prefixes for SI units.
- Change units (here for length, area, and volume) by using chain-link conversions.
- Explain that the meter is defined in terms of the speed of light in vacuum.
