measure of the quantity of matter in a


body
Weight

for a body

21
Units of Measurement
Common Conversion Factors
Length

1 m = 39.37 inches
2.54 cm = 1 inch
Volume
1 liter = 1.06 qt
1 qt = 0.946 liter
See Table 1-7 for more conversion factors
22
Use of Numbers
Exact numbers
1 dozen = 12 things for example
Accuracy
how closely measured values agree with
the correct value
Precision
how closely individual measurements agree
with each other

23
Use of Numbers
Significant figures
digits believed to be correct by the person
making the measurement
Measure a mile with a 6 inch ruler vs.
surveying equipment
Exact numbers have an infinite number
of significant figures
12.000000000000000 = 1 dozen
because it is an exact number
24
Use of Numbers
Significant Figures - Rules
Leading zeroes are never significant
0.000357 has three significant figures
Trailing zeroes may be significant
must specify significance by how the number
is written
1300 nails - counted or weighed?
Use scientific notation to remove doubt
2.40 x 103 has ? significant figures
25
Use of Numbers

Scientific notation for logarithms


take the log of 2.40 x 103
log(2.40 x 103) = 3.380
How many significant figures?
Imbedded zeroes are always significant
3.0604 has five significant figures

Group Activity
On a typical day, a hurricane expends the
energy equivalent to the explosion of two
thermonuclear weapons. A thermonuclear
weapon has the explosive power of 1.0 Mton
of nitroglycerin. Nitroglycerin generates 7.3
kJ of explosive power per gram of
nitroglycerin. The hurricanes energy comes
from the evaporation of water that requires
2.3 kJ per gram of water evaporated. How
many gallons of water does a hurricane
evaporate per day?
