- For each of the following figures, a through d, decide which block is more dense: the orange block, the blue block, or it cannot be determined. Explain your answers.arrow_forwardA student checked the accuracy of two standard top-loading balances by testing them with a standard 5.000-g mass. The results were as follows: Balance 1: 4.99 g, 5.04 g, 5.03 g, 5.01 g Balance 2: 4.97 g, 4.99 g, 4.95 g, 4.96 g Calculate the average values for balances 1 and 2 and calculate the percent error for each. Which balance is more accurate?arrow_forward4. Three different people weigh a standard mass of 2.00 g on the same balance. Each person obtains a reading of exactly 7.32 g for the mass of the standard. These results imply that the balance that was used is:A accurate but not precise B both accurate and preciseC precise but not accurateD neither accurate nor precisearrow_forward

- Each of the following coins is photographed to scale. Measure each using a metric ruler (in cm) and record the diameter to the precision reflected in the ruler. Make a simple graph of the value of the coin (x-axis) and the diameter of the coin (y-axis). Is there any correlation between these two quantities? Which coin does not fit the general trend?arrow_forwardFor the measurement 0.003040 meters, indicate which (if any) zeros are significant and which (if any) are not significant. Account forall five zerosin the measurement, and explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardTwo students were assigned to determine the mass of a sample of an unknown liquid. Student A used an ordinary laboratory balance that could determine mass to ±0.01 g. Student B used an analytical balance that could measure mass to ±0.1 mg. Each made four measurements, giving the following results: Student A: 8.19 g, 8.22 g, 8.21 g, 8.25 g Student B: 8.2210 g, 8.2210 g, 8.2209 g, 8.2210 g 2. Which student is more precise?
