+ Accuracy and Precision Accuracy – how close a measured value is to the actual (true) value Precision – how close the measured values are to each other Low Accuracy Low Precision Low Accuracy High Precision High Accuracy High Precision + Types of Error Random Error – when you estimate a value to obtain the last sig fig for any measurement Ex. Measuring the temperature to 1 decimal place using a thermometer Systematic Error – happens due to an inherent error in the measuring system. Ex. using a worn metre stick to measure your height + Significant Figures Significant figures : the “important” digits in a numerical value. the number contains all the digits that are certain plus one digit that is uncertain. Example: When a measurement is reported to be 47.5, that means the 4 and 7 are the certain numbers and the 5 is the uncertain numbers. It means that the actual value could be any number between 47.4 – 47.6. + Significant Figure Rules Rule Example Significant Figures 1. Nonzero digits are always significant 1.254 4 sig. fig. 2. Leading zeros (zeros before 0.000124 any nonzero digits) are NOT significant 3. Embedded zeros are 305.04 significant 3 sig. fig. 4. Zeros’ behind the decimal point are significant 5 sig fig 124.00 5 sig. fig. + State the number of significant figures in each of the followings: Measurement S.F. a. 967 Measurement S.F. e. 3.254 b. 1.034 f. 9.3 c. 1.010 g. 2.008 d. 5 h. 8.21 + Rules for Sig Figs In Mathematical Operations Multiplying and Dividing Numbers In a calculation involving multiplication or division, the number of significant digits in an answer should equal the least number of significant digits in any one of the numbers being multiplied or divided. e.g. 9.0 x 9.0 =8.1 x 101, while 9.0 x 9 and 9 x 9 = 8 x 101 + Rules for Sig Figs In Mathematical Operations Adding and Subtracting Numbers When quantities are being added or subtracted, the number of decimal places (not significant digits) in the answer should be the same as the least number of decimal places in any of the numbers being added or subtracted. e.g. 2.0 + 2.03 = 4.0 Rules for Sig Figs In Mathematical + Operations Rounding Rules 1. If the digit after the one you want to keep is greater than 5, then round up. e.g. To obtain 2 sig digs: 3.47 rounds to 3.5; 3.471 rounds to 3.5 2. If the digit after the one you want to keep is less than five, then do nothing. e.g. To obtain 2 sig digs: 3.44 rounds to 3.4; 3.429 rounds to 3.4 3. If the single digit after the one you want is exactly 5, round to the closest even number. e.g. To obtain 2 sig digs: 2.55 is rounded to 2.6; 2.25 is rounded to 2.2 e.g. BUT, 2.251 is rounded to 2.3 + Sig Fig Practice #2 Calculation Calculator says: Answer 3.24 m x 7.0 m 22.68 m2 100.0 g ÷ 23.7 cm3 4.219409283 g/cm3 0.02 cm x 2.371 cm 0.04742 cm2 710 m ÷ 3.0 s 236.6666667 m/s 1818.2 lb x 3.23 ft 5872.786 lb·ft 1.030 g ÷ 2.87 mL 2.9561 g/mL 23 m2 4.22 g/cm3 0.05 cm2 2.4 x 102 m/s 5.87 x 103 lb·ft 2.96 g/mL + Sig Fig Practice #3 Calculation Calculator says: Answer 3.24 m + 7.0 m 10.24 m 10.2 m 100.0 g - 23.73 g 76.27 g 76.3 g 0.02 cm + 2.371 cm 2.391 cm 2.39 cm 713.1 L - 3.872 L 709.228 L 709.2 L 1818.2 lb + 3.37 lb 1821.57 lb 1821.6 lb 2.030 mL - 1.870 mL 0.16 mL 0.160 mL + Scientific Notation A method used to express really big or really small numbers. Consist of two parts: 2.34 x 103 This number is ALWAYS between 0 and 10 The 2nd part is always 10 raised to an integer exponent The first part of the number indicates the number of significant figures in the value. The second part of the number DOES NOT count for significant figures. How its Done + 1. Place the decimal point between the first and second whole number, and write ‘x 10’ after the number. e.g. For 12345, it becomes 1.2 x 10 e.g. For 0.00012345, it also becomes 1.2 x 10 2. Indicate how many places you moved the decimal by writing an exponent on the number 10. a) A move to the left means a positive move. e.g. For 12345, it becomes 1.2 x 104 b) A move to the right means a negative move. e.g. For 0.00012345, it becomes 1.2 x 10-4 The Fundamental SI Units + In all sciences, calculations are done using SI units (Le Système International d'Unités). + The Fundamental SI Units Physical Quantity Name Abbr.
