Page Monday August 0, 05 Significant figures Digits in a number are significant when they contribute meaningful information to the precision of a measure. Consider two measurements, A and B shown below.. How many digits (or figures) does each measurement have?. How many digits in each measurement are significant?. Explain which measurement is more precise. Measurement A: 0.07005 kg Measurement B: 70.05 g Prepare a brief but complete answer for each question. in of

Kahn Academy: https://youtu.be/ecj76hz7jpm While watching the lecture, copy each figure (number) that is discussed and indicate the number of significant digits it contains. After the film, try to write a list of rules that summarizes you know if digits in a number are significant or not. in of
Page 6 Tues-Wed August 0-05, 05 Sig fig math:. Are these times the same, or are they different? The times are different because they have different number of sig figs. The time on stopwatch B is more accurate and precise.. Rules to identify sig figs: ) ALL non-zero numbers (,,,,5,6,7,8,9) are ALWAYS significant. ) ALL zeroes between non-zero numbers are ALWAYS significant. ) ALL zeroes which are SIMULTANEOUSLY to the right of the decimal point AND at the end of the number are ALWAYS significant. ) ALL zeroes which are to the left of a written decimal point and are in a number >= 0 are ALWAYS significant. DO NOT WRITE THESE DOWN!! in of

Rules to identify Sig Figs Number Rule Example Nonzero integers Always significant 6. m ( sig figs) Leading zeroes Never significant 0.006 m ( sig figs) Captive zeroes Always significant 6.00 (5 sig figs) Trailing zeroes Significant if after a decimal 600 ( sig figs) 0.600 (5 sig figs) Exact numbers Infinite significance e.g. There is star at the center of our solar system. There is no doubt about the number "" Scientific notation All digits are significant 6.00 x 0 6 (5 sig figs) in of
Page 7 Tues-Wed August 0-05, 05. Rules to identify Sig Figs: Atlantic Pacific Rule Pacific If a decimal point is Present, count all digits, starting with the first non-zero, to the left of the decimal, from left to right. Count all digits after the decimal. Examples: 6. 0.006 6.00 600 0.600 6.00 x 0 6 Atlantic If a decimal point is Absent, count all digits, starting with the first nonzero from right to left. in of

Multiplying and dividing with sig figs Example: 5 x 5 = 5 0 with sig fig rules Example: 5.0 x 5.0 = 5 with sig fig rules Example: 00.00 /.00 = 5.0 with sig fig rules Example: 00.00 /.0 = 5 with sig fig rules When finding the rule, look at the number of sig figs in the question and in the answer. The answer must contain the same amount of sig figs as the number in the question with the LEAST amount of sig figs. in of
