Areas of Physics
Motion and interaction between objects
What is mechanics?
SI base unit of mass
What is the kilogram?
Number of significant figures in 36800.00
What is 7?
When written in scientific notation, really large numbers will always have this.
What is a positive exponent?
These are used to explain the basic features of a phenomena.
What is a model?
Specific types of repetitive motions
What is vibrations and wave phenomena?
SI base unit of electrical current
What is an ampere?
Number of significant zeros in 807000
What is 1?
(The first zero is significant because it is sandwiched. The last three are not significant because they are trailing zeros without a decimal.)
When written in scientific notation, really small numbers will always have this.
What is a negative exponent?
m/s, s2, k*m/s2
What are examples of derived measurements?
Force that occurs between electrically charged particles
What is electromagnetism?
SI base unit of the amount of a substance

What is 0.00514?
How close measurements of the same item are to each other
What is precision?
Behavior of microscopic particles
What is quantum mechanics?
SI base unit of luminous intensity
