Properties of real #s
Commutative Property A+B=B+A AB = BA Associative Property (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) (ab)c = a(bc) Distributive Property a + (b + c) = ab + ac (b + c) a = ab + ac
Properties of (-)s
(-1) a = -a - (-a) = a (-a) b = a (-b) = -(ab) (-a) (-b) = ab - (a + b) = -a - b - (a-b) = b-a

Properties of fractions
a/b c/d = ac/bd a/b c/d = a/b dc a/c + b/c = (a+b)/c a/b + c/d = (ad+bc)/bd ac/bc = a/b If a/b = c/d then ad =bc

Fundamental Concepts
Matter main characteristics : occupies and has mass Mass
mass of the body is the quantity of matter it contains.
System of Units
Universally accepted standard units which all similar quantities must be referred for their validity
Force is that which can change the state of rest. F = ma Motion change in position of a body with respect to another body in time
C.G.S System
Centimeter-Gram-Second Length: Fundamental unit is meter ;also called the metric system 1 meter = 3.28 ft Mass: Fundamental unit is gram 1 kg = 1000g Time : Fundamental unit is second 60 sec = 1 min.
English System
Length: fundamental unit is foot. 1 foot = 1/3 of a yard 1 foot = 12 inches = 0.3048 meter 1 meter = 3.28 feet = 39.37 inches
Mass: Fundamental unit is pound 1 kg = 2.2 pounds 1 pound = .454 kilogram

Seatwork #2
1. Place A is 1440 km by road to place B. How far is this in miles? (1 km = 0.621 mi.) 2. A man is 6 ft 2 in tall. How many centimeters is this? (1 ft = 12 in ; 1 in = 2.54 cm) 3. How many square feet are there in 1m2? (1m = 3.28 ft) 4. Express the velocity of 60 mi/hr in ft per second (1mile = 5280ft ; 1hr =3600 s) 5. A girl weighs 470 lbs. Convert to kilograms.
Lesson 1.2: Speed Velocity Acceleration Displacement vs. Distance Acceleration due to gravity
Prepared by: Ms. Anna Katrina Aspuria
Vectors are quantities that are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.

D. Acceleration
Acceleration is a vector quantity
rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity. A = velocity change/time = (Vfinal Vinitial)/time Acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s2
