Chapter 3 3.1. Using and Expressing Measurements Scientific Notation: It is expected that you know how to use scientific notation. If you need help or review, read through pages 62-63 and complete Sample Problem 3.1 Qualitative vs Quantitative Observations Qualitative Observations are Descriptive and do not include a numerical measurement Quantitative Observations include a numerical measurement Accuracy, Precision, and Error: page 64 Define Accuracy Define Precision In the following, diagram an example of each set of concepts Good Accuracy, Good Precision Poor Accuracy, Good Precision Poor Accuracy, Poor Precision Precision and Measurements How precise a measurement is depends on the tool used to make the measurement. Precision is determined by the number of quantitative markers on the measuring tool. We always measure/estimate to one decimal place beyond the tools marks. Record each measurement with the correct precision based on the tool used
Define percent error Sample Problem 3.2 (page 65) The boiling point of pure water is measured to be 99.1 C. Calculate the percent error. Significant Figures: page 66 Define Significant Figures Determining Significant Figures in Measurements: page 67 Rule 1. Every nonzero digit in a reported measurement is assumed to be significant Example 2. Zeros appearing between nonzero digits are significant 3. Leftmost zeros appearing in front of nonzero digits are not significant. They act as placeholders. By writing the measurements in scientific notation, you can eliminate such placeholding zeros 4. Zeros at the end of a number and to the right of a decimal point are always significant 5. Zeros at the rightmost end of a measurement that lie to the left of an understood decimal point are not significant if they serve as placeholders to show the magnitude of the number **If such zeros were known measured values, however, then they would be significant. Writing the value in scientific notation makes it clear that these zeros are significant** SPECIAL CASE 6. There are two situations in which numbers have an unlimited number of significant figures. The first involves counting. A number counted is exact. The second situation involves exactly defined quantities such as those found within a system of measurement
Sample Problem 3.3 (page 68) How many significant figures are in each measurement? a. 123 m d. 22 meter sticks b. 40,506 mm e. 0.07080 m c. 9.8000 x 10 4 m f. 98,000 m Why have Significant Figures? All measurements have ERROR. This error needs to be communicated to other scientists These errors get passed on through calculations Our calculations can t be more precise than the measurements used in them! Significant Figures in Calculations: Page 68 In general, a calculated answer cannot be more precise than the least precise measurement from which it was calculated. The calculated value must be rounded to make it consistent with the measurements from which is was calculated. Sample Problem 3.4 (page 69) Round off each measurement to the number of significant figures shown in parentheses. Write answers in scientific notation a. 314.721 meters (four) b. 0.001775 meter (two) c. 8792 meters (two) Rules for Calculations: Page 70 Addition and Subtraction: The answer should be rounded to the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the least number of decimal places Multiplication and Division: The answer should be rounded with the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the least number of significant figures.

Give each answer to the correct number of significant figures. a. 12.52 meters + 349.0 meters + 8.24 meters b. 74.626 meters 28.34 meters Sample Problem 3.6 (page 71) Perform the following operations. Give the answers to the correct number of significant figures. a. 7.55 meters X 0.34 meters b. 2.10 meters X 0.70 meters c. 2.4526 meters 2 / 8.4 meters d. 0.365 meters 2 / 0.0200 meter 3.2.
