Measurements and Uncertainty PRE-LAB QUESTIONS 1. Use Figure 4 to measure the diameter of the quarter. 24.05mm 2. Why is uncertainty important to consider when reporting data? Uncertainty indicates the accuracy within the possible range of the actual values ©eScience Labs, 2014 Figure 4: A quarter being measured by a caliper.

Measurements and Uncertainty EXPERIMENT 1: RULERS VS. CALIPERS Data Sheet Table 1. Ruler and Caliper Measurements Object Ruler Caliper Measurement (cm) Uncertainty (cm) Measurement (cm) Uncertainty (cm) Marble Diameter 1.20 cm 0.05 cm 1.38 cm 1.5 cm Washer (Outer Diameter) 2.10 cm 1.05 cm 2.058 cm 2.0 cm Washer (Inner Diameter) 0.80 cm 0.05 cm 0.81 cm 0.5 cm Washer Thickness 0.10 cm 0.05 cm .14 cm .10 cm String Length 650 cm 0.05 cm 650 cm 650 cm Styrofoam® Cup Height 9.00 cm 0.05 cm 8.845 cm 10 cm Post-Lab Questions 1. Compare the measurements for objects using the ruler and caliper and write a general statement on when it is more beneficial to use a ruler rather than a caliper. On measuring simple 2-d measurement ruler is more beneficial than caliper because caliper does not fit on 2-d measurements effectively and easily 2. Comment on accuracy vs. precision for rulers and calipers. Caliper is always better in precision and accuracy both than in comparison of ruler. ©eScience Labs, 2014 Downloaded by thao yang (tyang87@iclpoud.com) lOMoARcPSD|19832313

Measurements and Uncertainty 3. What are the sources of uncertainty when using a ruler and caliper? For the ruler, the uncertainty is + or - 0.05. For the caliper, the uncertainty is + or -0.0025 ©eScience Labs, 2014 Downloaded by thao yang (tyang87@iclpoud.com) lOMoARcPSD|19832313
Measurements and Uncertainty EXPERIMENT 2: THE SPRING FORCE SCALE Data Sheet Table 2. Spring Scale Measurements Object 5 N Spring Scale Weight (g) Uncertainty (g) 10 N Spring Scale Weight (g) Uncertainty (g) 50g Weight .4 N 2 0.5 N 1 100g Weight .9 N 3 1.0 N 2 250g Weight 2.4 N 5 2.6 N 4 500g Weight 4.9 N 7 5.0 N 6 Post-Lab Questions 1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a spring scale to measure weight? The disadvantage is that as shown in the results the two spring scales have separate tenths measurements which skews the results. An advantage would be the accuracy of a spring scale, when used correctly 2.
