Significant Figures Rules: –Start count at first non-zero number All numbers to the right are significant if a decimal point is present. If no decimal point, trailing zeroes are not significant Ex: vs. 140,000
Computations and Sig Figs Add/Subtract –Use fewest number of decimals Ex: Multiply/Divide –Use fewest number of sig figs Ex: 2.46 x
Scientific Notation Remove insignificant zeroes Process: –Move decimal behind first non-zero –Write x 10 p p = places decimal was moved (- or +) Ex: 104,000,
Units Numbers need units to be meaningful Use formulas to calculate units –d = m/v………m = dv……….v = m/d
Formulas Plug in for all but one variable and solve –Algebra! –Ex:
Converting Between Units Conversion factors represent how two units are related –1 dozen rolls 12 rolls
Conversions: Factor-Label Method Write known number (with unit) as a fraction –244 rolls 1 Write conversion factor (desired unit on top) –1 dozen rolls 12 rolls Do the math –244 rollsx1 dozen rolls 1 12 rolls
