Hi Lee, Unfortunately, I had to leave to go to a wedding before you came back to the office for me to give you instructions. However, I have left a note for you, which should answer any questions you have. Every time you take a measurement, there is always some degree of uncertainty. It is important to record only the numbers that are significant. These significant figures refer to the numbers that the person who is measuring deems to be right without losing the accuracy of the measurement.
I know sometimes we use the words “accuracy” and “precision” interchangeably, but when it comes to science, they are different. Accuracy is how closely your measured amount is to the true amount of an item and precision is how well individually measured amounts agree …show more content…
The first number has three sig-figs and the second number has four. I was able to determine this by following three rules: 1) All non-zero numbers and zeros between two non-zero numbers are significant. 2) If a decimal place is present, trailing zeros are significant. 3) Leading zeros in a number are not significant.
You may be wondering what the zeros that are not significant mean. The four zeros to the right of the decimal point in 0.0000420 are placeholders and are not significant. The zeros after the four are not significant as well because there is no decimal point.
Another important concept to understand is scientific notation. Scientific notation allows us to write numbers in a way that is easier to understand. 0.0000420 becomes 4.20 x 10−5 and 1004000 is 1.004 x 106 .The exponent is found by counting the number of places you must move the decimal to expand the number. A positive exponent means you will move the decimal place to the right when going from scientific notation to expanded form and a negative exponent means you will move it to the left. See how by converting the numbers to scientific notation it is also easier to see how many sig figs are

T=(((1/68km)/s)/mpc) In the prompt we are also given the value of H0 that can substitute H0 in our time equation. 1 mpc=3.086x1022 m, T=((1/68km)/s)/(3.086⋅〖10〗^26 m) Finally, the prompt gave us the distance equivalent to 1 megaparsecs, which is an unit of distance that is used to measure the distance between stars. This number can then subsitute the mpc in our time equation. 68 km* (1000m/1km)= 68000m However, since there is kilometers and meters in this equation we must convert the kilometers into…

1. What have you done and what have you learned in relation to diversity? During class, we examined nine different board game boxes including Chutes and Ladders, Twister, Hi-Ho-Cherry-O, Connect 4, Mouse Trap, Clue, Guess Who, Life, and Operation. We examined characteristics such as race and ethnicity, gender, ability or disability, class, and age. I created a 6x10 grid to record what we saw on each of the nine boxes. I was surprised how many of the groups were not fairly represented on the different…

1. Complete your draft It was always there; the black case in the basement. Always collecting dust, seemingly daunting to a five year old. Something you can’t have is enticing. Sitting on an old top shelf, for who knows how long, it probably wasn’t the best violin. But I didn’t know that. I felt as if it was something I had always wanted to do. Obviously I was only five, but I felt as if I knew what I wanted to do. Some of those feelings may be attributed to how much I idolized my aunt. She was…
