About the Authors
Robert Jansen
Robert Jansen has taught Advanced Placement Physics at Aliso Niguel High
School in Aliso Viejo, California, since 1998. He holds a bachelor’s degree in
psychobiology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a
master’s degree in education from Pepperdine University. He gravitated
toward teaching physics because of the challenging material and a sustained
belief that physics does not need to be mysterious and difficult but rather can
be comprehensible and achievable. The result has been a large and
competitive physics program where each year more than 220 students
participate in the AP Physics 1 and AP Physics C courses. The overarching
goal is preparedness and confidence for students who will be studying
science during their undergraduate years.
Greg Young
Greg Young has been teaching high school science for more than twenty
years. He currently teaches Honors Physics, AP Chemistry, and Chemistry at
San Clemente High School in San Clemente, California. He holds a
bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from the University of California, San
Diego, and a master’s degree in science education from USC. Having always
been interested in science and how to make it relevant to others, Greg’s
interest in teaching lies in being able to create interactive lessons that engage
students in their learning and form a relevant context for difficult concepts in
physics and chemistry. Science made interesting is science worth learning.

CHAPTER 1
Conventions and Graphing
Learning Objectives
In this chapter, you will learn how to:
∘ Review the fundamental metric units (SI units) and some of the derived
metric units (SI units) used in physics
∘ Determine the dependent and independent variables of a graph
∘ Explain the importance of slope and area to a graph
Fundamental and Derived Units
The fundamental metric units (SI units) in physics cover the basic
quantities measured, such as length, mass, and time. The units measure a
quantity and are given a unit name and symbol. Table 1.1 lists the
fundamental quantities along with the unit names and symbols.
TABLE 1.1 Fundamental Quantities and Units
Quantity (Symbol) Unit Name Symbol
Length (l) Meter m
Mass (m) Kilogram kg
Time (t) Second s

Electric current (I) Ampere A
Temperature (T) Kelvin K
Amount of substance (n) Mole mol
Derived units are combinations of one or more of the fundamental units.
Table 1.2 lists common derived units used in physics.
TABLE 1.2 Derived Units
It is important to know which units correctly belong to a specific quantity. An
easy way to do this is to write out the principal formula for the quantity and
then replace each variable on the right side of the equation with its unit
symbol. There may be more than one correct answer including the unit
symbol, other derived units, and fundamental units. For example, all of the
following are correct ways to express units of energy: J, N • m, and kg •
m2/s2.
EXAMPLE 1.1

Derived Units
The unit of force is the newton. What are the fundamental units that make up the newton?
WHAT’S THE TRICK?
Write down the foundational formula for force.
Replace the variable symbols with their matching units. Force is measured in newtons, N. Mass is
measured in kilograms, kg. Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared, m/s2.
N = kg • m/s2
Graphing Variables
The graphing techniques of mathematics are used in science to compare
dependent and independent variables. In mathematics, you are familiar with
the traditional x- and y-coordinate axes. In science, the x-axis represents the
independent variable and the y-axis represents the dependent variable. The
value of the dependent variable depends upon the independent variable.
Graphs are always titled so that the dependent variable is listed first, and the
independent variable is listed second. As an example, a position versus time
graph would have position (dependent variable) plotted on the y-axis and
time (independent variable) plotted on the x-axis.
Slope and Area
Slope
Slopes are very important in physics. Slope is determined by dividing the rise
(y-axis value) by the run (x-axis value). The trick is to look at the units
written on the axes of the graph. If you divide these units, you can easily
