1.1 Measurements
A measurement is a determination of the amount of something.
A measurement has two parts: a number value
and a unit
![Page 6: MEASUREMENT](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812c94550346895d914285/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1.1 Two common systems
The English System is used for everyday measurements in the United States.
Miles, yards, feet, inches, pounds, pints, quarts, gallons, cups, and teaspoons are all English system units.
In 1960, the Metric System was revised and simplified, and a new name was adopted—International System of Units.

1.1 International System of Measurement (SI)
The acronym SI comes from the French name Le Système International d’Unités.
SI units form a base-10 or decimal system.
In the metric system, there are: 10 millimeters in a centimeter, 100 centimeters in a meter, and 1,000 meters in a kilometer.

1.1 The meter stick
A meter stick is 1 meter long and is divided into millimeters and centimeters.
![Page 9: MEASUREMENT](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812c94550346895d914285/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Section 1.2 Learning Goals
Explain the meaning of time in a scientific sense.
Discuss how distance is measured.
Use a metric ruler to measure distance.
![Page 13: MEASUREMENT](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812c94550346895d914285/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1.2 Time and DistanceTwo ways to think
about time:
What time is it?
How much time?
A quantity of time is also called a time interval.
![Page 14: MEASUREMENT](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812c94550346895d914285/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1.2 Time
Time comes in mixed units. Seconds are very short. For calculations, you may need to
convert hours and minutes into seconds.
How many seconds is this time interval?
![Page 15: MEASUREMENT](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812c94550346895d914285/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1.2 Distance Distance is the
amount of space between two points.
Distance is measured in units of length.
The meter is a basic SI distance unit.
In 1791, a meter was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator. What standard is used today?
![Page 16: MEASUREMENT](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812c94550346895d914285/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1.2 Metric prefixes Prefixes are added to the names of
basic SI units such as meter, liter and gram.
Prefixes describe very small or large measurements.

1.3 Converting unitsTo convert 1,565 pennies to the dollar amount, you divide 1,565 by 100 (since there are 100 pennies in a dollar).
Converting SI units is just as easy as converting pennies to dollars.

1.3 Converting units A conversion factor
is a ratio that has the value of one.
This method of converting units is called dimensional analysis.
To do the conversion you multiply 4.5 feet by a conversion factor.

Section 1.4 Learning Goals
Determine the number of significant figures in measurements.
Distinguish accuracy, precision, and resolution.
Compare data sets to determine if they are significantly different.
![Page 31: MEASUREMENT](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812c94550346895d914285/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Investigation 1B
Key Question: How can you use unit canceling to solve
conversion problems?
Conversion Chains
![Page 32: MEASUREMENT](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812c94550346895d914285/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
1.4 Working with Measurements Accuracy is how close a measurement
is to the accepted, true value. Precision describes how close
together repeated measurements or events are to one another.
![Page 33: MEASUREMENT](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812c94550346895d914285/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
1.4 Working with Measurements In the real world it is
impossible for everyone to arrive at the exact same true measurement as everyone else.
Find the length of theobject in centimeters. How many digits does your answer have?
![Page 34: MEASUREMENT](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812c94550346895d914285/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
1.4 Working with MeasurementsDigits that are always significant:
1. Non-zero digits.2. Zeroes between two significant digits.3. All final zeroes to the right of a
decimal point.Digits that are never significant:
4. Leading zeroes to the right of a decimal point. (0.002 cm has only one significant digit.)
5. Final zeroes in a number that does not have a decimal point.

1. Looking for: …area of the paper
2. Given: … width = 8.5 in; length = 11.0 in
3. Relationship: Area = W x L
4. Solution: 8.5 in x 11.0 in = 93.5 in2
# Sig. fig = 94 in2

1.4 Working with Measurements Using the bow
and arrow analogy explain how it is possible to be precise but inaccurate with a stopwatch, ruler or other tool.
![Page 37: MEASUREMENT](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812c94550346895d914285/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
1.4 Resolution
Resolution refers to the smallest interval that can be measured.
You can think of resolution as the “sharpness” of a measurement.
![Page 38: MEASUREMENT](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812c94550346895d914285/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

1.4 Significant differences In everyday conversation, “same”
means two numbers that are the same exactly, like 2.56 and 2.56.
When comparing scientific results “same” means “not significantly different”.
Significant differences are differences that are MUCH larger than the estimated error in the results.
![Page 40: MEASUREMENT](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812c94550346895d914285/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
1.4 Error and significance How can you tell if two results are
the same when both contain error (uncertainty)?
When we estimate error in a data set, we will assume the average is the exact value.
If the difference in the averages is at least three times larger than the average error, we say the difference is “significant”.
![Page 41: MEASUREMENT](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812c94550346895d914285/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
