__NOTOC__
Welcome to the Georgia Tech Wiki for Introductory Physics. This resources was created so that students can contribute and curate content to help those with limited or no access to a textbook. When reading this website, please correct any errors you may come across. If you read something that isn't clear, please consider revising it for future students!

Looking to make a contribution?
#Pick one of the topics from intro physics listed below
#Add content to that topic or improve the quality of what is already there.
#Need to make a new topic? Edit this page and add it to the list under the appropriate category. Then copy and paste the default [[Template]] into your new page and start editing.

Please remember that this is not a textbook and you are not limited to expressing your ideas with only text and equations. Whenever possible embed: pictures, videos, diagrams, simulations, computational models (e.g. Glowscript), and whatever content you think makes learning physics easier for other students.

== Source Material ==
All of the content added to this resource must be in the public domain or similar free resource. If you are unsure about a source, contact the original author for permission. That said, there is a surprisingly large amount of introductory physics content scattered across the web. Here is an incomplete list of intro physics resources (please update as needed).
* A physics resource written by experts for an expert audience [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Physics Physics Portal]
* A wiki written for students by a physics expert [http://p3server.pa.msu.edu/coursewiki/doku.php?id=183_notes MSU Physics Wiki]

== Organizing Categories ==
These are the broad, overarching categories, that we cover in three semester of introductory physics. You can add subcategories as needed but a single topic should direct readers to a page in one of these categories.

== Resources ==
* Commonly used wiki commands [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Cheatsheet Wiki Cheatsheet]
* A guide to representing equations in math mode [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula Wiki Math Mode]
* A page to keep track of all the physics [[Constants]]
* A page for review of [[Vectors]] and vector operations
* A listing of [[Notable Scientist]] with links to their individual pages

__NOTOC__
Welcome to the Georgia Tech Wiki for Introductory Physics. This resources was created so that students can contribute and curate content to help those with limited or no access to a textbook. When reading this website, please correct any errors you may come across. If you read something that isn't clear, please consider revising it for future students!

Looking to make a contribution?
#Pick one of the topics from intro physics listed below
#Add content to that topic or improve the quality of what is already there.
#Need to make a new topic? Edit this page and add it to the list under the appropriate category. Then copy and paste the default [[Template]] into your new page and start editing.

Please remember that this is not a textbook and you are not limited to expressing your ideas with only text and equations. Whenever possible embed: pictures, videos, diagrams, simulations, computational models (e.g. Glowscript), and whatever content you think makes learning physics easier for other students.

== Source Material ==
All of the content added to this resource must be in the public domain or similar free resource. If you are unsure about a source, contact the original author for permission. That said, there is a surprisingly large amount of introductory physics content scattered across the web. Here is an incomplete list of intro physics resources (please update as needed).
* A physics resource written by experts for an expert audience [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Physics Physics Portal]
* A wiki written for students by a physics expert [http://p3server.pa.msu.edu/coursewiki/doku.php?id=183_notes MSU Physics Wiki]

* A resource guide compiled by the [http://www.aapt.org/ AAPT] for educators [http://www.compadre.org/ ComPADRE]

== Organizing Categories ==
These are the broad, overarching categories, that we cover in three semester of introductory physics. You can add subcategories as needed but a single topic should direct readers to a page in one of these categories.

== Resources ==
* Commonly used wiki commands [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Cheatsheet Wiki Cheatsheet]
* A guide to representing equations in math mode [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula Wiki Math Mode]
* A page to keep track of all the physics [[Constants]]
* A page for review of [[Vectors]] and vector operations
* A listing of [[Notable Scientist]] with links to their individual pages

Welcome to the Georgia Tech Wiki for Introductory Physics. This resources was created so that students can contribute and curate content to help those with limited or no access to a textbook. When reading this website, please correct any errors you may come across. If you read something that isn't clear, please consider revising it for future students!

Looking to make a contribution?
#Pick one of the topics from intro physics listed below
#Add content to that topic or improve the quality of what is already there.
#Need to make a new topic? Edit this page and add it to the list under the appropriate category. Then copy and paste the default [[Template]] into your new page and start editing.

Please remember that this is not a textbook and you are not limited to expressing your ideas with only text and equations. Whenever possible embed: pictures, videos, diagrams, simulations, computational models (e.g. Glowscript), and whatever content you think makes learning physics easier for other students.

SI Units

Jlee793:

This page is about SI Units. This page is created by Jinyoung Lee.
==The Main Idea==

SI unit stands for the 'International System of Units'. It is the modern form of the metric system, and is the most widely used system of measurement. It is made up of 7 standard units. It justify twenty-two named units, and includes many more unnamed coherent derived units. The system also establishes a set of twenty prefixes to the unit names and unit symbols that may be used when specifying multiples and fractions of the units.

===A Mathematical Model===

There are some mathematical operation required to translate a non-SI unit to SI unit. For example <math>{\frac{lb}{2.2}} = kg</math> Since 1 kg(SI unit) is equal to 2.2 lb, to change lb to SI unit, lb has to be divided by 2.2.

Another example can be length. <math>{\frac{inch}{0.394}} = cm</math> Same method used to change lb to kg. Since 1cm is equal to 0.394inch, inch has to be divided by 0.394 to become SI unit, cm.

==Base SI units==

[[File:SIbase.jpg]]

This image above shows the base SI units. These units include length, mass, time, electric current, temperature, substance amount, and light intensity.

==Prefix==

Mass, length or any numbers in physics can be very small or very large. Electron can be a great example. Mass of electron is 0.0000000000000000000000910938356g or 9.10938356 E-31. In SI, prefixes are available to adjust the size of a unit so as to keep the number of those units reasonable. It is kind of difficult to read that number in word. However with the prefix it can be. Image below shows the list of prefixes.

[[File:prefix1.jpg]]

==Derived SI units==

[[File:Relationdiagram.jpg]]

This image above shows the relationships between many units used in physics based on base SI units. As we can see, most of the units in physics is related to the SI units. It is because there are many quantities that cannot be expressed by a single base SI unit. For example, when talking about the density. it is volume/mass. Mass has it's own SI unit gram. However volumes doesn't. Volume is expressed with derived SI unit, meter cube. As a result, unit for density is <math>\mathrm{m}^3/\mathrm{g}</math> . Those units are called derived SI units. Units can be combined to create new unit. Some frequently-used combinations have their units named. Here are some examples:

*Watt (W), the unit of power.
**<math>\mathrm{W} = \mathrm{J}/\mathrm{s} \ </math>

*Pascal (Pa), the unit of pressure.
**<math>\mathrm{Pa} = \mathrm{N}/\mathrm{m}^2 \ </math>

*Hertz (Hz), the unit of frequency.
**<math>\mathrm{Hz} = 1/\mathrm{s} = \mathrm{s}^{-1} \ </math>

*Newton (N), the unit of force.
**<math>\mathrm{N} = \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}^2 </math>

*Joule (J), the unit of energy.
**<math>\mathrm{J} = \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m} = \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^2/\mathrm{s}^2 </math>

*Coulomb (C), the unit of electric charge.
**<math>\mathrm{C} = \mathrm{A} \cdot \mathrm{s} </math>

*Volt (V), the unit of electric potential or voltage.
**<math>\mathrm{V} = \mathrm{J}/\mathrm{C} = \mathrm{W}/\mathrm{A} \ </math>

==Connectedness==
This topic can be applied to every aspect of science. When solving the problem, or even when doing a research, every equations and theories are based on SI units. It is a promises between scientists to use the certain unit to reduce the errors or misunderstanding. Therefore, it is very important to know the concept of SI units. This topic is connected to not only physics but also every other scientific subjects. In addition, it might not be familiar in United States, but in the most of the countries they use SI units in ordinary life.

==History==

The creation of the decimal Metric System at the time of the French Revolution and the subsequent deposition of two platinum standards representing the meter and the kilogram, on 22 June 1799, in the Archives de la Republic in Paris can be seen as the first step in the development of the present International System of Units. In 1832, Gauss strongly promoted the application of this Metric System, together with the second defined in astronomy, as a coherent system of units for the physical sciences. Gauss was the first to make absolute measurements of the earth’s magnetic force in terms of a decimal system based on the three mechanical units millimeter, gram and second for, respectively, the quantities length, mass and time. In later years, Gauss and Weber extended these measurements to include electrical phenomena

In physics there are many quantities that cannot be expressed by a single base unit. For example, speed, the rate at which a position changes with time, is expressed as a combination of the unit for distance (meters) and the unit for time (seconds). As we will soon learn, the speed is equal to the distance divided by the time. Therefore, the unit of speed is the ''meter per second'', or ''m/s''. The unit ''meter per second'' is called a ''derived unit'', meaning that it is derived from the seven SI base units.

Units can be combined together in many possible combinations, and any physically-significant quantity will have its own units. Some frequently-used combinations get their own names. Here are a sample of some of the more common ones:

*Newton (N), the unit of force.
**<math>\mathrm{N} = \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}^2 </math>

*Joule (J), the unit of energy.
**<math>\mathrm{J} = \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m} = \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^2/\mathrm{s}^2 </math>

*Watt (W), the unit of power.
**<math>\mathrm{W} = \mathrm{J}/\mathrm{s} \ </math>

*Pascal (Pa), the unit of pressure.

SI Units

Jlee793: /* Derived SI units */

This page is about SI Units. This page is in progress by Jinyoung Lee.
==The Main Idea==

SI unit stands for the 'International System of Units'. It is the modern form of the metric system, and is the most widely used system of measurement. It is made up of 7 standard units. It justify twenty-two named units, and includes many more unnamed coherent derived units. The system also establishes a set of twenty prefixes to the unit names and unit symbols that may be used when specifying multiples and fractions of the units.

===A Mathematical Model===

There are some mathematical operation required to translate a non-SI unit to SI unit. For example <math>{\frac{lb}{2.2}} = kg</math> Since 1 kg(SI unit) is equal to 2.2 lb, to change lb to SI unit, lb has to be divided by 2.2.

Another example can be length. <math>{\frac{inch}{0.394}} = cm</math> Same method used to change lb to kg. Since 1cm is equal to 0.394inch, inch has to be divided by 0.394 to become SI unit, cm.

==Base SI units==

[[File:SIbase.jpg]]

This image above shows the base SI units. These units include length, mass, time, electric current, temperature, substance amount, and light intensity.

==Prefix==

Mass, length or any numbers in physics can be very small or very large. Electron can be a great example. Mass of electron is 0.0000000000000000000000910938356g or 9.10938356 E-31. In SI, prefixes are available to adjust the size of a unit so as to keep the number of those units reasonable. It is kind of difficult to read that number in word. However with the prefix it can be. Image below shows the list of prefixes.

==Derived SI units==

[[File:Relationdiagram.jpg]]

This image above shows the relationships between many units used in physics based on base SI units. As we can see, most of the units in physics is related to the SI units. It is because there are many quantities that cannot be expressed by a single base SI unit. For example, when talking about the density. it is volume/mass. Mass has it's own SI unit gram. However volumes doesn't. Volume is expressed with derived SI unit, meter cube. As a result, unit for density is **<math>

In physics there are many quantities that cannot be expressed by a single base unit. For example, speed, the rate at which a position changes with time, is expressed as a combination of the unit for distance (meters) and the unit for time (seconds). As we will soon learn, the speed is equal to the distance divided by the time. Therefore, the unit of speed is the ''meter per second'', or ''m/s''. The unit ''meter per second'' is called a ''derived unit'', meaning that it is derived from the seven SI base units.
T
Units can be combined together in many possible combinations, and any physically-significant quantity will have its own units. Some frequently-used combinations get their own names. Here are a sample of some of the more common ones:

*Newton (N), the unit of force.
**<math>\mathrm{N} = \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}^2 </math>

*Joule (J), the unit of energy.
**<math>\mathrm{J} = \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m} = \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^2/\mathrm{s}^2 </math>

*Watt (W), the unit of power.
**<math>\mathrm{W} = \mathrm{J}/\mathrm{s} \ </math>

*Pascal (Pa), the unit of pressure.
**<math>\mathrm{Pa} = \mathrm{N}/\mathrm{m}^2 \ </math>

*Hertz (Hz), the unit of frequency.
**<math>\mathrm{Hz} = 1/\mathrm{s} = \mathrm{s}^{-1} \ </math>

*Coulomb (C), the unit of electric charge.
**<math>\mathrm{C} = \mathrm{A} \cdot \mathrm{s} </math>

*Volt (V), the unit of electric potential or voltage.
**<math>\mathrm{V} = \mathrm{J}/\mathrm{C} = \mathrm{W}/\mathrm{A} \ </math>

*Ohm (<math> \Omega </math>), the unit of electric resistance.
**<math>\Omega = \mathrm{V}/\mathrm{A} \ </math>

*Farad (F), the unit of electric capacitance.
**<math>\mathrm{F} = \mathrm{C}/\mathrm{V} \ </math>

*Tesla (T), the unit of magnetic field strength.
**<math>\mathrm{T} = \mathrm{N}/\mathrm{A} \cdot \mathrm{m} </math>

*Weber (Wb), the unit of magnetic flux.
**<math>\mathrm{Wb} = \mathrm{T} \cdot \mathrm{m}^2 </math>
