- For the pin shown in Fig. 2.5, why is the third figure determined for the length of the pin uncertain? Considering that the third figure is uncertain, explain why the length of the pin is indicated as 2.85 cm rather than, for example, 2.83 or 2.87 cm.arrow_forwardConsider multiplying “26.2” by “16.43.” What would a mathematician say the answer is? What would a scientist say? Justify the scientist’s answer, not merely citing the rule, hut explaining it.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?

- At sea, distances are measured in nautical miles and speeds are expressed in knots. 1 nautical mile =6076.12ft 1 knot =1 nautical mi/h (exactly) (a) How many miles are in one nautical mile? (b) How many meters are in one nautical mile? (c) A ship is traveling at a rate of 22 knots. Express the ship's speed in miles per hour.arrow_forward1.47 A student weighs 10 quarters and finds that their total mass is 56.63 grams. What should she report as the average mass of quarter based on her data?arrow_forwardPerform these calculations and express the result with the proper number of significant figures. (a) (4.850g2.34g)/1.3mL (b) V=r3, where r=4.112cm (c) (4.66103)4.666 (d) 0.003400/65.2arrow_forward
- 1.48 A rock is placed on a balance and its mass is determined as 12.1 g. When the rock is then placed in a graduated cylinder that originally contains 11.3 mL of water, the new volume is roughly 17 rnL. How should the density of the rock be reported?arrow_forwardWhen the sum 4.9965 + 2.11 + 3.887 is calculated, to how many decimal places should the answer he reported? You shouldnotneed to perform the calculation.arrow_forwardYou are asked to determine the perimeter of the cover of your textbook. You measure the length as 34.29 cm and the width as 26.72 cm. How many significant figures should you report for the perimeter?arrow_forward
