What’s the Point?
• Physics is basic
• Physics explains things
• Physics is the secrets of the universe

Mechanics of the Course
![Page 6: Welcome to Physics 1050 Concepts of Physics. What’s the Point? Physics is basic Physics explains things Physics is the secrets of the universe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032609/56649eff5503460f94c156d3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Standards-based grading
• Scored on standards, not points
• The more standards you meet, the higher your final grade
![Page 7: Welcome to Physics 1050 Concepts of Physics. What’s the Point? Physics is basic Physics explains things Physics is the secrets of the universe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032609/56649eff5503460f94c156d3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Meeting the Standards
• Last assessment matters
• Don’t blow off early assessments: learn!
• If lots of folks miss a standard, I’ll re-quiz
• If you personally miss a standard:– Work some more problems– See me for a re-assessment
• I want you to succeed.

Pre-Vet, Pre-Dent
• Many grad schools require PHYS 1110
• UW grants credit for only one of PHYS 1050, 1110, 1210
• FWIW: Students taking 1110 after 1050 tend to do very well
• I provide a guarantee

![Page 24: Welcome to Physics 1050 Concepts of Physics. What’s the Point? Physics is basic Physics explains things Physics is the secrets of the universe.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032609/56649eff5503460f94c156d3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mass
6. The measure of a body’s response to acceleration. The mass of a body is different from but proportional to its weight, is independent of the body’s position but dependent on its motion with respect to other bodies, and may be expressed in mass units, such as kilograms or slugs, or corresponding energy units, by means of the mass-energy relationship of the special theory of relativity.
American Heritage Dictionary, 1981.

Charge
14a. The intrinsic property of matter responsible for all electric phenomena, in particular for the force of the electromagnetic interaction,occurring in two forms arbitrarily designated negative and positive.
American Heritage Dictionary, 1981.

Time
1. A nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past to the present to the future.
2. An interval separating two points on this continuum, measured essentially by selecting a regularly occurring event, such as the sunrise, and counting the number of occurrences during the interval’s duration.
American Heritage Dictionary, 1981.

Do math with units
• Unit labels can be treated like any variable in algebra.
Add them!
3 x + 4 x = 7 x
3 s + 4 s = 7 s
Multiply them!
(3a)(4b) = 12 ab
(3 m/s)(4 s) = 12 m
= 3 x/y 6 x2 y
= 3 C/s 6 C2 s
Divide them!
