Measurements Lecture Chapter 2 – SHCHEM1 Natural Science Cluster Prepared by: Mc. Benrick Porras Outline of Discussion At the end of the lecture session, the student/staff should be able to know the following: Scientific Notations Significant Figures Accuracy and Precision SI and Metric System Mass and Weight Volume Density Temperature Scales Dimensional Analysis in Problem Solving 1 Introduction – The Importance of Units Mars Climate Orbiter Costs about $125 Million. 638-kg robotic space probe whose purpose is to study Mars climate, atmosphere, surface changes. Serve as a communication relay in the Mars Surveyor ’98 for Mars Polar Lander. Launched on December 11, 1998. Figure 1. A Boeing Delta II 7425 expendable launch vehicle lifts off with NASA’s Mars Climate Orbiter on Dec. 11, 1998 1 Introduction – The Importance of Units The space probe is supposed to orbit Mars Mars Climate Orbiter was Main Reason? Mistake in Unit destroyed by heat as a result. Conversion !! The space probe is 100 km lower than expected! 1 Introduction – The Importance of Units Main Reason? Mistake in Unit Conversion !! Uses metric system. Uses English unit system. Assumed that the thrust Specified the thrusts in is expressed in Newtons. pounds. JPL thought that the data they received was in Newton, hence they treated it as 1N. However, in reality 1 lb = 4.45 N Maybe we got lost in translation! 1 1 gram of the element hydrogen is equal to 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 hydrogen atoms Each hydrogen atom has a mass of 0.0000000000000000000000016735 g 0.000000000004578 x 0.000000000000000000000546 This is too much!

Addition and Subtraction of Scientific Notations 1. Ensure the Exponents Are the Same ✓ Same Exponent: If the numbers have the same exponent, you can directly add or subtract the coefficients. ✓ Different Exponents: If the exponents are different, you must first adjust one of the numbers so that both exponents are the same. 2. Preform addition/subtraction of the N values while keeping the 10n value. 1: Addition with Same Exponent 2. Subtraction with different Exponent 5.3 × 103 + 2.4 × 103 (6.2 × 106) − (4.3×105) Step 1: The exponents are the same. Step 1: Convert 4.3×105 to 0.43 × 106 to match Step 2: Add the coefficients: 5.3 + 2.4 = 7.7. exponents. Result: 7.7×103 Step 2: Subtract the coefficients: 6.2 − 0.43 = 5.77.

Average SI System Enjoyer 1 km = 1000 m Yes 1 m = 1000 mm Why are measurements important? In Science, experiments are done. Numerical values or data are obtained from these. 52. 3 What’s wrong with this data? Measurements always have a numerical value (magnitude) AND a unit. 52. 3 km makes more sense. 1 Accuracy and Precision ACCURACY = CORRECT Accuracy – how close a measurement is to the true value.
