Title:
Measurement of Length
Hypothesis:
If one measures the length with and height of the blocks, they can calculate the volume of each block. If one measure the thickness of a certain number of papers, they can calculate the thickness of each paper.
Materials:
Metric ruler, 2 blocks, note book, text book, calculator
Procedure:
First I measured the length, width, and height of the first block. After recording each measurement I calculated the volume of the block. Next Jake measured the length, width, and height of the second block. He then recorded the measurements and calculated the volume of his block. Next, Jake and I measured my note book to calculate the volume of it. After completing that task, we measured the thickness of 50, 75, and 100 sheets of paper. Jake did the first one, and I did the second two. Next we calculated to find the thickness of one sheet of paper.

6.2mm
.062mm

Analyses and Conclusions:
Solving the Problem:
Only two of the measurements support that all sheets of paper are equal in thickness. This may have been because Jake reads measurements different then I do so the reading was off.
Questions and Supplementary Activities:
1. The blocks and the notebook were measured to 3 significant

(Hope Spurrier) Measurements and Uncertainties September 6, 2013 Abstract The Measurements and Uncertainties lab showed us how to use different instruments to measure an object and how to calculate the uncertainty. It also showed that taking multiple measurements ensures accuracy because there is always uncertainty in a measurement. We obtained an aluminum block and measured the length of the block with a meter stick, the width with a Vernier Caliper, and the thickness with a Micrometer…

movements and thus, eliminates chances of artifacts. The 3D macula 1024μm² protocol consists of a raster-scan covering an area of 6 x 6mm in the macular region is used for macular thickness measurements. The scans protocol reconstructs a false-color topographic image displayed with numeric averages of thickness measurements for each of the 9 map regions within a 6mm area centered on the fovea, as defined by the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) map (Ooto et al., 2011). Referring to…

Essay about Fabric Assurance by Simple Testing（F.A.S.T）

Testing Lab Report Introduction Objective measurement is a scientific way to get a good understand about some basic properties of fabric. In this lab, FAST system can provide the accurate measurement to show compression, extension, bending and stability of fabric. The aim of this test is to predict how a fabric will perform when made up into a garment. For fabric manufactures,finishers and garment manufacturers, they can use the results of this test as a basis to do fabric specification,…

width and thickness). Four different size combinations were tested. An Instron 8501 testing device was used to test each piece until fracture; an example of this machine can be seen in fig. 3. It logged the elongation of the piece of brass as an increasing load was applied. Figure 3 Instron 8501 [4] Two marks were initially put on the sample piece of brass at arbitrary points in the thinner section of the brass. The distance between these marks was the initial length. The initial thickness and width…

Mouth Guard Concussions

Also, the type of mouth guard that was worn during the practice/game at the point in which the concussion occurred was also recorded. The guard’s thickness was measured and submitted to 2 independent measurers for caliper measurement. The ImPACT test, a computerized test program, has been proven to measure the cognitive effects of concussions. 19 of the athletes in this study had previously taken a…

Investigating The Relationship Between Resistance And Surface Area

flowing through. Variables: Independent – The independent variable will be the surface area of the wire. This was changed by keeping the length measured between negative and positive wires the same, but changing the thickness of the wire (thicknesses present above). The thickness is changed in order to directly measure the dependent variable. Dependent – The dependent variable will be the measure of current that flows through the wire in between a constant distance (50cm). The current is measured…

describe its applications and their consequences. 1. Define radioisotope and radioactive half-life A radioisotope is an unstable isotope that spontaneously changes its nuclear structure and releases energy in the form of radiation. Half-life is the average length of time it takes radioactive material to decay to half of its original mass. 2. List at least four uses for radioisotopes. Nuclear Medical Imaging: radioisotopes can be used in nuclear medical imaging. A patient is injected with radioisotopes…

Unit 5 P3: Describe Energy Expenditure In Sports Performance

Unit 5 P3: Describe energy intake an expenditure in sports performance Energy measurements A calorie is a unit of energy. The consumption of food provides the body with energy which is accumulated and stored within the protein, carbohydrate and fat molecules of that food. The nutritional label that is provided with the food presents the calorie content which illustrates the value of energy that the food provides for our body. The suggested daily intake of calories for a female adult should be…
