Holt Physics?Chapter 1 The Science of Physics Important Chapter 1 Topics: Physics (?the study of the physical world?-p.4) is an attempt to explain and understand the world around us--from tiny subatomic particles to massive swirling galaxies! The scientific method-p.6 Dimensional analysis, or the conversion algorithm-p.22 Significant figures-p.16 Scientific notation Chapter 2 Motion in One Dimension Section 2.1 Displacement and Velocity One dimensional motion=linear motion (back and forth) Frame of reference and relativity make physics easier Displacement is the difference between where something starts and where it ends up. It is expressed as ?x = xf ? xi where xf is the final position and xi is the initial position. (insert gecko picture from p.41)

Jeffrey Serville Physics Honors Dr. McCombs Period 2 Chapter 26: Relativity 26.1/26.2 ? Galilean Relativity/The Speed of Light Vocabulary: Inertial Frame of Reference ? those reference frames in which Newton?s laws are valid. In these frames, objects move in straight lines at constant speeds unless acted upon by a non-zero net force thus, obeying Newton?s law of inertia. Luminiferous Ether ? the medium, proposed by 19th century physicists, in which electromagnetic waves oscillated in. Absolute Frame ? a special frame of reference specific to the laws of electricity and magnetism, which were only valid in there simplest form, at rest relative to the ether. However, these laws would have to be modified in any reference frame moving with respect to the absolute frame. Key Concepts:

Mouse Trap Reflection Construction How it was made: The car was made by cutting out cardboard for the body that would fit the mouse trap on top of it. The wheels were made out of cardboard, larger in the back and smaller in the front. Dowel rods were used as the axels and cut the straw in half to make it so the axel would be able to spin. Changes: One change that was made was to make the body longer. This change was made so a lever could be used on the mouse trap and be able to get the wheels to move. The results of the change were that the mouse trap and lever would be able to move the wheels.

Using the earth, provide an example of each. 2) Distinguish between rotational and tangential speed. What is their relationship? 3) If you are on the center of a merry-go-round, and you walk toward the outer edge, how does your rotational speed change? Your tangential speed? 4) When you whirl a can at the end of a string in a circular path, what is the direction of the force that acts on the can? 5) Does an object undergoing uniform circular motion accelerate? Why? 6) When a car makes a turn, do seat belts provide you with a centripetal force or centrifugal force?
