key concepts of physics Flashcards
topic 1
Recall and use multiples and sub-multiples of units,
how to go from kg to g and vice versa
kg -> g * by 1000
Recall and use multiples and sub-multiples of units, how to go from KJ to J
KJ -> J * 1000
Recall and use multiples and sub-multiples of units,
how to go from mol/dm cubed and mol/cm cubed
mol dm to teh power of neg 3 -> mold cm to power of neg 3 = /1000
Recall and use multiples and sub-multiples of units,
how to go from m cubed, dm cubed and cm cubed
m cubed -> dm cubed = * 1000
dm cubed -> cm cubed = * 1000
what is the multiple of unit: giga (G)
10 power 9
what is the multiple of unit: mega (M)
1 000 000 (10 power 6)
what is the multiple of unit: kilo (k)
1000
what is the multiple of unit: centi (c)
0.01
what is the multiple of unit: milli (m)
0.001
what is the multiple of unit: micro (weird p)
0.000001 (10 power neg 6 )
what is the multiple of unit: nano (n)
10 power neg 9
how to convert between times: hours and seconds
to convert hours to seconds: 1 hours = 3600 seconds
how to go from a bigger unit (like m) to a smaller unit (like cm)
multiply by conversion factor
how to go from a smaller unit (like g) to a bigger unit (like kg)
divide by conversion factor
