Questions and Answers

What is the objective of Experiment 1?

  • To determine the density of a metal block and an unknown liquid. (correct)
  • To use significant figures in calculated values.
  • To measure the exact values of physical quantities.
  • To establish a range of values for measurements.
  • Why can we never make an exact measurement of a physical quantity?

  • Due to the precision of the measuring device and the uniformity of the object being measured. (correct)
