| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Problems of the U.S. customary system of measurement is | Some units are historic, many of them are unfamiliar, converting one unit to another is often difficult. |
| tera- | Symbol: T Meaning: trillion Power of Ten: 10 to the 12th power Value: 1,000,000,000,000 |
| giga- | Symbol: G Meaning: billion Power of Ten: 10 to the 9th power Value: 1,000,000,000 |
| mega- | Symbol: M Meaning: million Power of Ten: 10 to the 6th power Value: 1,000,000 |
| kilo- | Symbol: k Meaning: thousand Power of Ten: 10 to the 3rd power Value: 1,000 |
| centi- | Symbol: c Meaning: hundredth Power of Ten: 10 to the negative 2nd power Value: 0.01 |
| milli- | Symbol: m Meaning: thousandth Power of Ten: 10 to the negative 3rd power Value: 0.001 |
| micro- | Symbol: upside down h Meaning: millionth Power of Ten: 10 to the negative 6th power Value: 0.000001 |
| nano- | Symbol: n Meaning: billionth Power of Ten: 10 to the negative 9th power Value: 0.000000001 |

| Properties | are the qualities or attributes that, taken together, are usually peculiar to an object. |
| Measurement | a comparison. a process of comparing a property to a well-defined and agreed-upon referent. The well-defined and agreed-upon referent is a standard called a unit. |
| The most two common systems of units are: | The English System and the Metric System (Le Systeme International d' Unites) or SI. |
| Length | Metric Unit: meter Symbol: m |
| Mass | Metric Unit: kilogrm Symbol: kg |
| Time | Metric Unit: second Symbol: s |
| Current | Metric Unit: Ampere Symbol: A |
| Temperature | Metric Unit: Kelvin Symbol: K |
| Amount of Subsance | Metric Unit: Mole Symbol: mol |
| Luminous Intensity | Metric Unit: Candela Symbol: cd |
| 4 Fundamental Properties of the Metric System | Length, Mass, Time, Charge |
| The standard unit of Length | meter |
| The standard unit of Mass | kilogram |
| The standard unit of Time | second |
| The value of a second is based off of the vibrations of | the cesium-133 atom |
| speed | change in position over change in time d/t distance/time |
| velocity | change in position over change in time df - di/tf - ti |
| acceleration | change in velocity over change in time vf - vi/tf - ti |
| If the acceleration is in the direction of motion it is | positive |
| If the acceleration is in the opposite direction of motion it is | negative |
| average speed | distance/time m/s |
| average velocity | change in position/change in time m/s |
| acceleration | change i velocity/change in time m/s2 |
| find vf | vi + at |
| find vf2 | vi2 + 2ax |
| find x | vit + 1/2at2 |
| acceleration due to gravity (g) | 9.8m/s2 |
| Inertia | an object's tendency to resist changes in it's motion. |
| Newton's Laws of Motion | 1 - Inertia 2 - Related Force to Acceleration 3 - Action - Reaction |
| Four Fundamental Forces | 1- gravitational 2- electromagnetic 3- strong nuclear 4 - weak nuclear |
| 1 Newton | 1kg x m/s2 |
| Weight (W) | measure of the force of gravity on a mass. Measured in Newtons |
| Normal Force (N) | always perpendicular to a surface, surface pushing back, electromagnetic force in nature |
