A way of writing numbers that accommodates values too large or small to be conveniently written in standard decimal notation. In scientific notation, numbers are written in the form: Example: An electron's mass is about 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 910 938 22 kg. In scientific notation, this is written 9.1093822 10 −31 kg.
Used to simplify big numbers. Replace powers of ten. To make the calculation easier. Y, Z, E, h, da, a, z, and y are rarely used. PR E F I X E S
PR E F I X E S Example : 2000 m = 2 x 10 3 m = 2 km 0.005 m = 5 x 10 -3 m = 5 mm 45 000 000 bytes = 45 x 10 6 bytes = 45 Mbytes 0.00000008 s = 80 x 10 -9 s = 80 ns 200 mA = 200 x 10 -3 A
Any quantity can be measured in several different units. Hence it is important to know how to convert from one unit to another. Multiplying or dividing an equation by a factor of 1 does not alter an equation. Example: Length: foot / inch / metre 12 12 CONVERSION OF UNITS
3 km = ? m 1 km = 1000 m 3 km = 3 x 1000 m =3000 m OR 3 km = 3 km x 1000 m 1 km = 3000 m Conversion of Units
45 cm = ? km 45 cm 45 cm 1m 1km 100 cm 1000 m 45 cm x 45 cm 45x10 5 km 4.5x10 4 km CONVERSION OF UNITS

The digits that carry meaning contributing to its precision. Retain all figures during calculation. The leftmost non-zero digit is sometimes called the most significant digit or the most significant figure . The rightmost digit of a decimal number is the least significant digit or least significant figure . Numbers having three significant figures: 587 0. 777 0.000 999 121 000 Numbers having two significant figures: 16 8.9 0. 12 0.00 82 17 17 Significant Figures
Non zero integers always count as significant figures. Zeros: There are three classes of zeros . Leading zeros Captive zeros Trailing zeros 18 18 Rules for Significant Figures
Leading zeros Zeros that precede all the non zeros digit They do not count as significant figures Ex: 0.000 562 [3 s.f] Captive zeros Zeros between non zeros digits. They always count as significant figures Ex: 13. 00 9 [5 s.f.] Trailing zeros Zeros at the end of numbers. They count as significant figures only if the number contains a decimal point. Ex: 200 [1 s.f.] 2.00 [3 s.f] 19 19 Rules for Significant Figures
Multiplying or Dividing Ex: 16.3 x 4.5 = 73.35 (but the final answer must have 2 s.f.) Therefore, 16.3 x 4.5 = 73 (2 s.f.) 20 20 Significant figure for final answer = the quantity which has the least number of significant figures Mathematical Operation For Significant Figures
Adding or Subtracting Ex: 12.11 + 8. + 1.013 = 31.123 The final answer is 31. 1 (1 decimal places) 21 21 Number of decimal places for final answer = the smallest number of decimal places of any quantity in the sum Mathematical Operation For Significant Figures
Ohms law states that V = IR. If V = 3.75 V and I = 0.45 A, calculate R and express your answer to the correct number of significant figures. If the resultant force on an object of mass 260 kg is 5.20 x 10 2 N, use equation F = ma to find acceleration. If a car is traveling at a constant speed 72 km/h for a time 35.5 s, how far has the car traveled? (use distance = speed x time ) 22 22 Exercise 1
1. R = V/I = 3.75/0.45 = 8.3333333Ω Due to the least s.f. (0.45 = 2 s.f.), thus the answer is 8.3 Ω 2. 23 23 2 260 5.20 x 10 2 a F / m 2 ms Due to the least s.f. (260 = 2 s.f. ), thus the answer is 2.0ms- 2 3. Change v=72km/h to m/s => 72km/3600s=20m/s l v t 20 m / s 35.5 s 710 m Due to the least s.f. (72x10 3 m/h = 2 s.f.), thus the answer is 0.71 km or 7.1x10 2 m. Solutions
