Si Units: The Standard International Metric System Of Conmetry

Improved Essays
ENGINEERING STUDY SHEET - TEST

Analysis:
SI units-
Si units is the standard International Metric system of measurements.
The metric system was introduced to australia to provide an easier system than the imperial system.
The metric system is a base 10 system (all units are done by powers of 10). The imperial use more complicated bases.
Metric eg; 1000 mm = 1m, 1000m = 1km (not confusing)
Imperial eg; 36 inches = 1 yard, 1760 yards = 1 miles (confusing)
Types of motion:
Rotational-pg 141 ( rochford book)

Vector and scalar quantities-
Scalar quantities are defined by only having magnitude and no direction.
Eg; distance (20m) , time (10 s) , mass (22.8 kg), speed (110 km/h).

Vector quantities have a magnitude and a direction.
Eg; displacement

Dynamic (Also known as kinetic friction) : kinetic friction is when there is a relative motion.
^change the little S to K for kinetic friction^

Work
U = f x d
U = Work
F = force
D =distance
Eg: “the work done lifting a house brick of mass 3kg from the floor to a bench 1m high is”:
Work (U) = f = 3x10 = 30; d = 1m
=30x1 = 30J (J is joules which is unit of work)
Note; If the house is held stationary, d=0 thus no work is done

Energy and power

Energy: (see page 65 in rochford book for eg)
Only looking at mechanical energy which can come in two forms;
Potential energy (PE):
*If the brick is held 1m above the ground the brick has potential energy which is the energy a body has as a result of its position above the earth*
= mass (m) x gravity (g) x height (h)
Energy unit is Joules ( J )
PE = mgh = Answer J

Kinetic energy (KE):
*kinetic energy is the energy a body has because of its motion; eg ; dropping the brick from 1m height and seeing what the energy of the brick just before hitting the ground is*
= ½ mass (Kg) x velocity^2 (m/s)
Energy unit is joules ( J

Polymers
Commonly called plastics and rubbers.
These are modified heavily to produce desirable properties.
Polymers have low electrical and thermal conductivities.
Polymers are softer, less dense and more corrosion resistant than metals.
Elastomers are polymers that have a structure that allow large extensions that are reversible such as rubber bands.

Destructive and non-destructive testing methods
Destructive tests destroy the test piece. Eg. An impact test on a motor vehicle.
Non-destructive test allow the test piece to be used after testing - Crack tests and most hardness tests are non-destructive.

    1964109908 Alley Cat Bowling Argument paper In class we did an experiment to help the Alley Cat Bowling team build a successful bowling lane, and we had to answer the question ,what recommendations will you give to the Alley Cats to help them win the bowling championship? Before this experiment, I had to research some things about energy. Energy is a property matter, and all matter has it. In other words its ability is to do works. Also, there are many other forms of energy like, sound, heat, friction, electrical, nuclear, and mechanical energy, ext.…

    My Slapshot In Hockey

    • 285 Words

    Last Thursday, I had a hockey practice, and before anyone else came on the ice, my brother Michael and I were just shooting around. To see how fast my slapshot is, I had him stand at the other end of the ice, and using his phone, see how long it took for my shot to go from one goal line to the other, exactly 60.96 meters. Keeping the puck on the ice the whole time during my shot, changing just the position of the puck, my slapshot took 4 seconds to cross the far goal line, making my slapshot move at a velocity of 15.24 meters per second. This calculation was done by divided the total displacement by the total time, 60.98 meters divided by 4 seconds. Finding the velocity of the puck relates to what we are doing in class, as we are talking about…

    Both: Currently in the grocery store you will see items in both conversions such as apple juice, 64oz/1.89liters, wine bottles are in liters and ounces, and cereal boxes have metric and standard measures on them. Why is the government interested in changing to the metric system? The government is interested in changing to the metric system because it would make commerce and communication easier with the world community. For instance, US companies will be able to streamline their operations because they won't have to supply both measurement systems on their products that are destined for local, domestic and foreign consumers.…

    Egg Drop The egg drop project was a way to see nature’s effect on itself for example, how an egg can survive a fall? It combine a majority aspect of physics, Velocity (both initial and final), Acceleration, Displacement, and Time to find how fast the egg within the vessel will go when drop from the top of a rail in the back of the school. Initial Velocity will determine the speed the egg left its initial position, the final velocity will determine the speed of the egg before crashing, Time (in Second) will tell how long the egg was in the air, Acceleration will tell how fast it went, and Displacement will tell us how far it went. The project consist of an egg, vessel, and using all of the formula given to find how everything happen…

    My testable question is an off the ground spike more powerful and faster than a spike that is done on the ground. I will answer this by spiking the volleyball ten times, five times in the air and five times from the ground. I will be ten feet away from the wall and I am going to measure how high it bounces after it touches the ground. I chose this topic because I love volleyball and I wanted to know which position has more force and power. My hypothesis is “If an off the ground spike is made, then it is a more powerful spike because there is more force behind it.”…

    The United States is the only industrialized country in the world that does not use the metric system as its main system of measurement. In the early 1800's, the government's surveying and mapmaking agency or the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey used meter and kilogram standards brought from France. In 1866, Congress allowed the use of the metric system in this country and gave each state a set of standard metric measures and weights. In 1875, the US promised its commitment to the development of the internationally recognized metric system by becoming one of the original 17 signatory nations to the Treaty of the Meter. The signing of this international agreement concluded 5 years of meetings in which the metric system would be changed and remodeled,…

    Static friction is given by Fs< usn where N is the normal force between the object and its support surface and us is the coefficient of static friction. There-fore, the coefficient of static friction is given by Us= fs, max/ N Where F s, max is the maxixmum force of static friction. Once the external force overcomes static friction, the object moves. Its motion is opposed by kinetic friction. The force of kinetic friction is given by f k = ukN where u k is the coefficient of kinetic friction.…

    The SI unit of measurement ( International System of Units) is the most used system of measurement internationally and has proved itself the most effective due to its popular use. Measurements are all related to each other no matter the measurement system. Many measurements have different names and many people expect that to mean that they have an entirely different meaning because of that, however they mean exactly he same thing. Take for example the Metric and U.S Customary measurement system. The Metric system would describe an American gallon as a liter and vice-versa, but they mean the same exact thing just with a different name.…
