PHYSICS
It is the science of matter and energy. Its field is restricted to
those phenomena in which the nature of bodies most frequently
is not changed. Physics is a precise science and its natural
language is mathematics.
PARTS OF PHYSICS
Physics is classified into groups according to the dominant
form of energy involved. The divisions most frequently used
are: Mechanics, Heat, Sound, Magnetism, Electricity, Light and
Nuclear.

SCIENTIFIC METHOD
The coupling of observation reason and experiment.
MEASUREMENT
Measurement is essentially a comparison. To measure is to
compare a magnitude with another of the same unit to ascertain
how many times the second is contained in the first.
o Precision: how near repeated measurements of the same
quantity agree with each other. It depends on the fineness of
calibration of the measuring device.
o Accuracy: how a measurement or multiple measurements
agree with a true value (standard control).

Rules to ensure that your answers always contain the
correct number of significant figures:
Example: 18.02
12.2
328.445
358.665
How will the answer be reported? The term with the least
number of decimal places (12.2) has only 1 decimal
place. The answer then can contain only one decimal
place. Answer = 358.7

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION (POWERS OF TEN NOTATION)
When writing numbers, especially those involving many
zeroes before or after the decimal point, it is convenient to use
the scientific notation using powers of ten.
A scientific notation number has the general formula: N
× 10exponent ; where N = a number between 1 and 10 and the
exponent is a whole number that is the power to which a
number is raised.
Example :
1,000,000 = 1 × 106
This is written by moving the decimal point six (6) places to the
left and using the exponent 6.
1 million = 1,000,000 = 1 × 106

Types of Exponents
Positive exponent: indicates how many times a base must be
multiplied by itself to produce the original figure.
Example:
1 million = 1,000,000 = (10)(10)(10)(10)(10)(10) = 1 × 106
A positive exponent signifies that the number is greater than 1.
Negative exponent: indicates how many times 1 must be
divided by the base to produce the original figure.
Example:
1 millionth = 1/1,000,000 = 1/(10)(10)(10)(10)(10)(10) = 1 ×
10-6
A negative exponent signifies that the number is less than 1.

ROUNDING OF DATA
When the numbers desired to be drop is from 0 to 4 drop the
number and if from 6 to 9, add one to the preceding number.
If it is exactly5, the odd-even rule should be followed, if the
number that precedes is even retain the number and add one if it
is odd.
Therefore if it is exactly 5, the rounded number is always
even, otherwise if some more numbers of value come after five,
then add one to the number that precedes.

Example 1: The 100-m dash.
What is the length of the 100-m dash expressed in
yards?
Which is longer 100-m dash or1 𝑓𝑡100-yard
=12 𝑖𝑛 dash?
SOLUTION:
1 yd. = 3 ft. =1m
Since: 36=in. = (36 in.)(2.54
100cm so, 1yd.cm/in.) = 91.44 cm.
Therefore: = .9144m 1m = 1.094 yd.
Then: 100m = (100m)(1.094yd / m)
100m = 109.4 yd

Example 2: Area of a cell membrane.
A round membrane has an area of 1.25 square inches.
Express this in square centimeters.
SOLUTION:
1 in. = 2.54 cm.
Then, 1 in.2 = (2.54cm.)2 = 6.45cm.2
Therefore:
1.25 in.2 = (1.25 in.2)(6.45cm2 / in2)
1.25 in.2 = 8.06cm.2
