A. Scientific Notation size large size size slider small Very large or very small numbers can be expressed using scientific notation The number is written as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by 10 raised to a power. e.g. 7200 is 7.2 x 10 3 The power of 10 depends on: The number of places the decimal point is moved. The direction the decimal point is moved. Left Positive exponent Right Negative exponent

Objectives 1. To learn how uncertainty in a measurement arises 2. To learn to indicate a measurement s uncertainty by using significant figures 3. To learn to determine the number of significant figures in a calculated result
A. Uncertainty in Measurement A measurement always has some degree of uncertainty.
A. Uncertainty in Measurement Different people estimate differently. Record all certain numbers and one estimated number.
B. Significant Figures Significant figures are the meaningful figures in our measurements and they allow us to generate meaningful conclusions Numbers recorded in a measurement are significant. All the certain numbers plus first estimated number e.g. 2.85 cm We need to be able to combine data and still produce meaningful information There are rules about combining data that depend on how many significant figures we start with
B. Significant Figures Rules for Counting Significant Figures 1. Nonzero integers always count as significant figures. 1457 has 4 significant figures 23.3 has 3 significant figures
B. Significant Figures Rules for Counting Significant Figures 2. Zeros a. Leading zeros - never count 0.0025 2 significant figures b. Captive zeros - always count 1.008 4 significant figures c. Trailing zeros - count only if the number is written with a decimal point 100 1 significant figure 100. 3 significant figures 120.0 4 significant figures
B. Significant Figures Rules for Counting Significant Figures 3. Exact numbers - unlimited significant figures Not obtained by measurement Determined by counting: 3 apples Determined by definition: 1 in. = 2.54 cm

B. Significant Figures Rules for Multiplication and Division I measure the sides of a rectangle, using a ruler to the nearest 0.1cm, as 4.5cm and 9.3cm What does a calculator tell me the area is? What is the range of areas that my measurements might indicate (consider the range of lengths that my original measurements might cover)?
B. Significant Figures Rules for Multiplication and Division The number of significant figures in the result is the same as in the measurement with the smallest number of significant figures.
B. Significant Figures Rules for Addition and Subtraction The number of significant figures in the result is the same as in the measurement with the smallest number of decimal places.
Rules for Combined Units Multiplication / Division When you Multiply or Divide measurements you must carry out the same operation with the units as you do with the numbers 50 cm x 150 cm = 7500 cm 2 20 m / 5 s = 4 m/s or 4 ms -1 16m / 4m = 4 Addition / Subtraction When you Add or Subtract measurements they must be in the same units and the units remain the same 50 cm + 150 cm = 200 cm 20 m/s 15 m/s = 5 m/s
Calculate the following. Give your answer to the correct number of significant figures and use the correct units 11.7 km x 15.02 km = 12 mm x 34 mm x 9.445 mm = 14.05 m / 7 s = 108 kg / 550 m 3 = 23.2 L + 14 L = 55.3 s + 11.799 s = 16.37 cm 4.2 cm = 350.55 km 234.348 km =

I am driving in Canada. I have a journey of 120 km and I need to estimate how many liters of gas to buy. I know my car fuel mileage is 24 miles per gallon. (1 mile is 1.6 km, 1 gallon is 3.79 liters)
A. Tools for Problem Solving Converting Units of Measurement We can convert from one system of units to another by a method called dimensional analysis using conversion factors Unit 1 conversion factor = Unit 2 Conversion Factor has Unit 2 /Unit 1
A. Tools for Problem Solving Converting Units of Measurement Conversion factors are built from an equivalence statement which shows the relationship between the units in different systems. 1 inch = 2.54cm Conversion factors are ratios of the two parts of the equivalence statement that relate the two units. 1 inch or 2.54cm 2.54cm 1 inch
A. Tools for Problem Solving Converting Units of Measure 2.85 cm =? in. 2.85 cm conversion factor =? in. Equivalence statement 2.54 cm = 1 in. Possible conversion factors Does this answer make sense? (P166 Q39 c-h,)
Multiple Steps 2.85 cm is how many feet? 7.1 years is how many hours? Let s go back and solve the Canadian Driving Problem
A. Tools for Problem Solving Tools for Converting from One Unit to Another Step 1 Find an equivalence statement that relates the 2 units. Step 2 Choose the conversion factor by looking at the direction of the required change (cancel the unwanted units). Step 3 Multiply the original quantity by the conversion factor. Step 4 Make sure you have the correct number of significant figures.
