- Understand accuracy, precision, and significant figures to judge measurement quality.
- Convert between units and perform simple conversions using dimensional analysis.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object and stays constant; weight is the gravitational force acting on that mass and changes with gravity.
What are the base SI units for length, mass, and time?
Length: meter (m), mass: kilogram (kg), time: second (s).
How do you read a graduated instrument (like a ruler or cylinder) correctly?
Read at eye level, use the correct lowest estimate based on the smallest scale division, and report the measurement with appropriate precision.
What is the difference between accuracy and precision?
Accuracy is how close a measurement is to the true value; precision is how consistent repeated measurements are with each other.
