Physical Science
4
There are 2 kinds of numbers: ◦ Exact: the amount of money in your account. Known with certainty.
5
◦ Approximate: weight, height—anything MEASURED. No measurement is perfect.
6
When a measurement is recorded only those digits that are dependable are written down.
7
◦ If you measured the width of a paper with your ruler you might record 21.7cm. To a mathematician 21.70, or 21.700 is the same.
8
21.700cm to a scientist means the measurement is accurate to within one thousandth of a cm.
9
If you used an ordinary ruler, the smallest marking is the mm, so your measurement has to be recorded as 21.7cm.
10
Rule: All digits are significant starting with the first non- zero digit on the left.
11
Exception to rule: In whole numbers that end in zero, the zeros at the end are not significant.

13
2 nd Exception to rule: If zeros are sandwiched between non-zero digits, the zeros become significant.
14
3rd Exception to rule: If zeros are at the end of a number that has a decimal, the zeros are significant.
15
3rd Exception to rule: These zeros are showing how accurate the measurement or calculation are.

18
Rule: When adding or subtracting measured numbers, the answer can have no more places after the decimal than the LEAST of the measured numbers.
19
2.45cm + 1.2cm = 3.65cm, Round off to = 3.7cm 7.432cm + 2cm = 9.432 round to 9cm
20
Rule: When multiplying or dividing, the result can have no more significant figures than the least reliable measurement.
21
56.78 cm x 2.45cm = 139.111 cm 2 Round to 139cm 2 75.8cm x 9.6cm = ?

1) 69.651 + 97.94 = _______ 2) 69.9 + 5.4 = _______ 3) 57.23 + 4.4 + 88.5 = ____ 4) 22.5732 - 5.7 = _______
25
1) 69.651 + 97.94 = 167.59 2) 69.9 + 5.4 = 75.3 3)57.23 + 4.4 + 88.5 =150.1 4) 22.5732 - 5.7 = 16.9
26
1) 410 ÷ 2.76 = __________ 2) 0.9 x 0.004 x 1000 = _____ 3) 6000 ÷ 5.5 = __________ 4) 2.13 x 58 = __________
27
1) 410 ÷ 2.76 = 150 2) 0.9 x 0.004 x 1000 = 4 3) 6000 ÷ 5.5 = 1,000 4) 2.13 x 58 = 120
