Uncertainty in Measurement All scientific measures are subject to error. These errors are reflected in the number of figures reported for the measurement. These errors are also reflected in the observation that two successive measures of the same quantity are different. Precision and Accuracy Measurements that are close to the “correct” value are accurate. Measurements that are close to each other are precise. Uncertainty in Measurement

Rules of Significant Figures Counting zeros Rounding Product/Quotient can have no more sig. Figs. Than numbers with the least sig. Figs. Sum/Difference can have no more decimals than numbers with least decimals. Keep at least one extra digit for intermediate calculations Exact Numbers
22
Dimensional Analysis Method of calculation utilizing a knowledge of units Conversion factors => simple ratios relating two units Desired unit = given unit (conversion factor) Dimensional Analysis Box #’s and Class/Random-ID#’sandClass Box #’s and Class/Random-ID#’sandClass Test Etiquette

Density Used to characterize substances. Defined as mass divided by volume: Units: g/cm 3 or g/mL. Originally based on mass (the density was defined as the mass of 1.00 g of pure water). Units of Measurement Test Etiquette
29
Density Example The sun is estimated to have a mass of 2x10 36 kg. Assuming it to be a sphere of average radius 6.96x10 5 km, calculate the average density of the sun in units of g cm -3. Mathcad Solution
