Question: 126
Which one of following two instruments is more precise and why
Answer: 126
126-143Least count of vernier caallipers is 0.1 cm, and L.C of screw guage is 0.01mm so screw guage is more precise than vernier callipers because screw guage can take small reading more accurately.
Question: 127
How numbers do are rounded off
Answer: 127
127-143There are some rules to round of the numbers.
If the last digit is less than 5, then if is simply dropped. For example 1.943 is rounded
If the last digit is greater than 5, then the digit on its left side is increased by one for example rounded
If the last digit is 5, then it is rounded to nearest even number. For example 1.35 is rounded to
Question: 128
What role SI units have played in the development of science
Answer: 128
128-143With the development of science and technology S.I units fulfill the serious need of for a commonly accept system of unit all over the world
Question: 129
How is precision related to the significant figures in a measured quantity
Answer: 129
129-143More significant figures mean greater precision. For example two students measure the length of a book 18.42 cm and 18.425cm respectively with a vernier calliper and screw gauge respectively. The measurement 18.425 =cm is more precision becasue it has greater significant figures/
Question: 130
Name five prefixes most commonly used.
Answer: 130
130-143There are prefixes most commonly used centi (c), milli. (m), kilo (k), mega (m), giga (g) micro (u)
Question: 131
What is least count of digital Vernier calipers
Answer: 131
131-143Digital vernier callipers has greater precision than mechanical vernier callipers Least count of digital vernier callipers is 0.01mm
Question: 132
Write down rules to find the significant digits
Answer: 132
132-143Rule to find the significant digits: Digits other than zero are always significant has 2 significant digits and 275 has 3 significant digits
Zero between significant digits are also significant e.g 2705 has 4 significant digits
Zero after decimal point are significance e,g 275.00 has significant digits
Question: 133
What is meant by prefixes
Answer: 133
133-143Prefixes: Prefixes are the words or letters added before a unit and stand for the multiples or submultiples of that unit
Question: 134
Name the two scales of vernier calliper.
Answer: 134
134-143There are two scales in vernier callipers.
Main scale, Vernier scale
Question: 135
What is digital stopwatch.
Answer: 135
135-143Mechanical stopwatch: A mechanical stopwatch can measure a time interval up to minimum 0.1 second
A mechanical stopwatch shows reading through needles
During measuring reading may be a human error in reading
The least count of mechanical stopwatch is 0.1 second
Question: 136
What is Hubble space telescope
Answer: 136
136-143Hubble space telescope orbits around earth. It provided information about astronomic planets and galaxies.
Question: 137
What is the difference between Biological sciences and physical sciences
Answer: 137
137-143Biological Sciences: The branch of natural philosophy in which we study about living things is called biological sciences.
Question: 138
Write four names of laboratory safety equipments
Answer: 138
138-143A laboratory must have following safety equipment's
- Waste disposal basket
- Fire extinguisher
- Fire alarm
- First aid box
Question: 139
Write the use of prefixes
Answer: 139
139-143Some quantities are either very large or very small prefixes are used to express very large or very small quantities. It makes these quantities to be express and understand esaily.
Question: 140
Write down the formula to calculate the least count of screw gauge
Answer: 140
140-143Formula of least count is
least count=pitch of the screw gauge/no. of divisions on circular scale
Question: 141
What is meant by scientific notation
Answer: 141
141-143A way of writing numbers by using the power of ten or prefixes and there is only one non-zero digit before the decimal is called scientific notation. For example a number can be expressed a similarly the standard form of.
Question: 142
What do you understand the by the zero error of measuring instrument.
Answer: 142
142-143- Any error in the measuring instrument that can effect the reading is called zero error
- Zero error may be positive or negative
- If the an instrument measured more then zero error will be positive
- If an instrument measured less then zero error will be negative
- The measured value will be less or more than the actual value
Question: 143
Define Scientific notation
Answer: 143
143-143Scientific notation: A way to express a given number as some power of ten multiplied or by prefixes by a number between is called scientific notation
between 1 and 10 is called scientific notation
