Get started for freeUsing a ruler marked in centimeters and millimeters, a student measures the diameter of a ball to be \(1.5 \mathrm{~cm}\). His partner measures the same ball with the same ruler and comes up with \(1.50\) \(\mathrm{cm}\). Which student used the ruler incorrectly? How did that student use the ruler incorrectly?
Calculate the amount of heat energy in joules required to heat \(50.0 \mathrm{~g}\) of each substance from \(25.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(37.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). (specific heats shown in parentheses): (a) Iron \(\left(0.449 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g} \cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\) (b) Aluminum (0.901 J/g \(\cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ) (c) Mercury \(\left(0.14 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g} \cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\) (d) Water \(\left(4.18 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g} \cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\)
Is reporting a measured mass as \(580 . \mathrm{g}\) the same as reporting it as \(580 \mathrm{~g}\) ? Explain.
Indicate whether the trailing zero in each value is significant, not significant, or possibly significant: (a) \(540 \pm 0.5\) (b) \(540 \pm 5\) (c) \(0.540\) (d) \(0.000540\) (e) 540
You overhear a classmate telling another student that \(1 \mathrm{ft}\) equals \(12 \pm 0.5 \mathrm{in}\). Is this statement correct or incorrect? Why?
