How many sig figs do i use when making conversions Homework Statement I have to do a bunch of problems such as converting meter to km and cups to mililiters etc How do i calculate sig figures for these problems for example i did 12 miles to kilometers 12 miles x 1 609 km 1mile = 19 308 km = 19 km ? do i leave the sig figs at
Logarithmic significant figures - Physics Forums In most areas of science, being able to solve and report problems to the correct number of significant figures is necessary; but I'm having trouble finding a complete set of rules for significant figures when working with non-ideal power equations eg: I'm talking about equations requiring the
How do we account for multiple sources of uncertainty in a measurement? Do sigfig rules for addition and subtraction apply also to uncertainties? For the example above, would the uncertainty be + - 1 degrees celsius (retaining one sigfig only -- not using sigfig rules in uncertainty) or would it be + - 1 0 degrees celsius (retaining 2 sigfig 1 decimal place -- using sigfig decimal place rules in uncertainty)
What are Significant Figures? A 5 Minute Introduction Significant figures (commonly called "sig figs") are the number of figures (digits) included when rounding-off a number The rules about how to round-off are not entirely agreed upon
Sig figs certainty in percent error calculation - Physics Forums Normally, at least abstracting from the problem, after subtracting 1 95 from 1 87 for a difference of -0 08, the zeros would not be considered significant and we would consider this result to have one significant digit, but really, we have certainty about those zeros as values, correct?
Solve Motion Problem: 50m Dropped Camera in 2. 0m s Descent can someone help me with this problem? A hot air balloon is descending at a rate of 2 0 m s when a passenger drops a camera (a) If the camera is 50 m above the ground when it is dropped, how long does it take to reach the ground? (b) What is its velocity just before it lands? Let upward be the
SigFigs in Volume and Uncertainty? - Physics Forums The "sigfig" rule is only a rule of thumb and should not be used if you have the option If you have actual uncertainty values, as is the case here, those are what you use I agree, but would express it a little differently The sig fig system is a convention for implying the accuracy When it is given explicitly, the convention does not apply
Question about sig figs and rounding: How to handle when there are 2 . . . Hey I just started taking a physics course and I am a bit confused about sig figs and rounding My question is that if there are two parts to a physics problem and the latter part requires an answer from the first part, then do you use the sig fig rounded value or the calculated value For
Sig Fig Acids - pH Change NaOH Effects - Physics Forums It has to do with sig fig Froom what i know, when performing log in an equation, only the numbers are the decimal point are counted as sig figs So if i have 0 1 M of acid, to find the ph, it would be : -log(0 1) = 1; since sig figs have to be AFTER the decimal point, is the correct answer 1 0
