Page 3: Density and Dimensional Analysis Applications

This section covers density calculations and practical applications of dimensional analysis in physics examples.

Definition: Density is defined as mass per unit volume, with water having a reference density of 1 g/cm³.

Example: Objects with density less than 1 g/cm³ float in water.

Highlight: Dimensional analysis uses fundamental units:

  • L for length
  • M for mass
  • T for time

Page 4: Scientific Notation and Trigonometry

This page focuses on scientific notation in calculator operations and trigonometry examples in physics with solutions.

Vocabulary: Scientific notation in calculators is typically entered using EE, EXP, or E buttons.

Example: Trigonometric calculations using SOH CAH TOA principles:

  • sinθθ = opposite/hypotenuse
  • cosθθ = adjacent/hypotenuse
  • tanθθ = opposite/adjacent

Highlight: The Pythagorean theorem h2=a2+b2h² = a² + b² is fundamental in physics calculations.

Page 5: Vectors and Scalars

This page distinguishes between vector and scalar quantities in physics.

Definition:

  • Scalars have magnitude only speed,distance,volume,temperature,energyspeed, distance, volume, temperature, energy
  • Vectors have both magnitude and direction velocity,displacement,force,momentumvelocity, displacement, force, momentum

Highlight: Vector addition requires breaking vectors into x and y components before combining.

Page 1: Math Review Fundamentals

This page introduces fundamental mathematical concepts essential for physics calculations. The content focuses on basic units, scientific notation, and trigonometric principles.

Definition: Base units in physics include meter mm for length, kilogram kgkg for mass, second ss for time, mole molmol for amount, kelvin KK for temperature, ampere ampamp for electric current, and candela cdcd for luminous intensity.

Example: Common unit conversions include:

  • 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
  • 1 foot = 12 inches
  • 1 meter = 100 centimeters
  • 5280 feet = 1 mile

Highlight: Time conversion calculations are crucial in physics problems: 1 year = 365 days = 31,536,000 seconds 3.15×107seconds3.15×10⁷ seconds

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Android user

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Anna

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Brad T

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

David K

iOS user

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
