What is “Physics” and Why study “Physics” ???
Physics is concerned with the description and understanding of nature (physical world) in an objective way.
Measurement is one of its important tools.
nature (physical world)Physical world here refer to phenomena or
events, and can be classified into few categories:

Accuracy and Precision:
The only kind of physical quantity that can be measured with complete accuracy would occur in simple counting operations, such as I have 25 Bahts and 13 Sattangs, or I see two dogs.
In physics, as in other sciences, quantities such as length, mass, volume and density of objects often have many different values.
ACCURACY and PRECISION are terms that are often used in regard to a measured quantity.
Accuracy and Precision:
ACCURACY is concerned with how close a measurement comes to the accepted or true value.
PRECISION is the agreement between the numerical values of two or more measurements that have been made in the same way
Precise measurements are not always necessary to be accurate.
Physics and Measurement \Physics deals with the nature and properties of matter
and energy. Common language is mathematics. Physics is based on experimental observations and quantitative measurements.
Mechanics deals with the motion and equilibrium of material bodies and the action of forces.
Classical Mechanics: Theory that predicts qualitatively & quantitatively the results of experiments for objects that are NOT Too small: atoms and subatomic particles – Quantum
Mechanics Too fast: objects close to the speed of light – Special Relativity Too dense: black holes, the early Universe – General
RelativityClassical mechanics deals with a lot of our daily life
objects!
MeasurementBeing quantitative in Physics requires
measurements.How tall is Ming Yao? How about his weight?
Height: 2.29 m (7 ft 6 in)Weight: 141 kg (310 lb)
Number + Unit
“thickness is 10.” has no physical meaning.Both numbers and units are necessary for any meaningful physical measurement.
Type QuantitiesMany things can be measured: distance,
speed, energy, time, force ……These are related to one another: speed
= distance/ timeChoose three basic quantities:
LENGTHMASSTIME
Define other units in terms of these.
SI Unit for 3 Basic QuantitiesMany possible choices for units of
Length, Mass, Time (e.g. Yao is 2.29 m or 7 ft 6 in)
In 1960, standards bodies control and define Système Internationale (SI) unit as,LENGTH: MeterMASS: KilogramTIME: Second
SI Length Unit: MeterFrench Revolution
Definition, 17921 Meter = XY/10,000,0001 Meter = about 3.28 ft1 km = 1000 m, 1 cm =
1/100 m, 1 mm = 1/1000 mCurrent Definition of 1
Meter: the distance traveled by light in vacuum during a time of 1/299,792,458 second.
SI Time Unit: Second 1 Second is defined as “atomic clock”– time taken
9,192,631,700 oscillations of the light emitted by a 133Cs atom.
Defining unit precisely is a science (important for, for example, GPS):◦ This clock will neither gain nor lose a second in 20 million
years.
SI Mass Unit: Kilogram1 Kilogram – the mass of a
specific platinum-iridium alloy kept at International Bureau of Weights and Measures near Paris.
Copies are kept in all other countries.
Yao Ming is 141 kg, equivalent to weight of 141 pieces of the alloy cylinder.

Derived Quantities and Units Multiply and divide units just like numbers Derived quantities: area, speed, volume, density ……
◦ Area = Length Length SI unit for area = m2
◦ Volume = Length Length Length SI unit for volume = m3
◦ Speed = Length / time SI unit for speed = m/s
◦ Density = Mass / Volume SI unit for density = kg/m3

Other Unit System U.S. customary system: foot, slug, second Cgs system: cm, gram, second We will use SI units in this course, but it is useful
to know conversions between systems.◦ 1 mile = 1609 m = 1.609 km 1 ft = 0.3048 m = 30.48
cm◦ 1 m = 39.37 in. = 3.281 ft 1 in. = 0.0254 m = 2.54
cm◦ 1 lb = 0.465 kg 1 oz = 28.35 g 1 slug = 14.59
kg◦ 1 day = 24 hours = 24 * 60 minutes = 24 * 60 * 60 seconds
Unit Conversion Example: Is he speeding ?
◦ On the garden state parkway of New Jersey, a car is traveling at a speed of 38.0 m/s. Is the driver exceeding the speed limit?
◦ Put 1’s using unit conversion relations, as many times as necessary.
◦ Multiply or divide numbers and units.◦ Begin with 38.0 m/s = (38.0 m/s) 1 ◦ Since 1 mile = 1609 m, so we have 1 = 1 mile/1609 m◦ Then (38.0 m/s) (1 mile/1609 m) = 2.36 10-2 mile/s◦ 2.36 10-2 mile/s = (2.36 10-2 mile/s) 1 1 1 = (2.36 10-2 mile/s) (60 s/1 min) (60 min/1h) = 85.0
