SI Units: Length, Mass, Time• Laws of physics involve physical quantities such as Forces, 

Velocity Acceleration Momentum Energy VolumeVelocity, Acceleration, Momentum, Energy, Volume, …

• In mechanics, all of these can be described in terms of the more fundamental quantities:o e u da e a qua es

Length Mass Time

• Standard system of units for these fundamental quantities:

SI:  Système International

Quantity SI Unit

Length meter

Mass kilogram

Distance traveled by light in 1/299792458 second

Dimensional Analysis• Physics:  “Dimension” denotes the physical nature of a quantity.

Example: Distance (length) between UK and the U of LouisvilleExample:  Distance (length) between UK and the U. of Louisville

can be measured in miles, kilometers, feet, etc.

• Use symbols L, M, and T to denote dimensions of length, mass, and time.and time.

• Use brackets […] to denote the dimensions of a physical quantity.

• Examples of variables with dimensions:

Time t:                   [t] = T

Length x:               [x] = L

Velocity v:             [v] = L / T

Acceleration a:     [a] = L / T2

Dimensional Analysis• Dimensions can be treated as algebraic quantities.

Conversion of Units• Sometimes it is necessary to convert from one system of units to 

a different system of units [Example: Driving in Europe kph !]a different system of units.    [Example:  Driving in Europe, kph !]

Coordinate Systems

• Many aspects of physics deal with locations/positions in space.  h h d f f d h h dThis requires the definition of a coordinate system which is used to specify locations in space.

• A coordinate system must consist of the following:Fixed reference point “O” (the origin)– Fixed reference point “O” (the origin)

– Set of specified axes (or directions), with scale and labels on the axes

– Instructions on labeling a point in space relative to the origin and axesg p p g
