1. You are asked to find the weight of a paper clip as accurately as possible and given ten paper clips and a scale that has a precision of 0.1 g. (A paper clip weighs about 1 g.) Which of the following proceedures would give you the most precise measurement the weight of a paper clip?
Weigh each paper clip individually, average the values and calculate the standard error.
or
Place all ten paper clips on the scale at once, then divide the value and the precision of the scale by ten.
EXPLAIN WHY!
Homework Answers
Place all ten paper clips on the scale at once, then divide the
value and the precision of the scale by ten
this way max error in each weight of paper clip = 0.1/10 = 0.01
gm
if we measure them indivisually possible error each time = 0.1
gm

PRE-LAB Questions: 1) You use a force sensor to measure the weight of an object 10 times, and get the following values: 2.8, 2.6, 2.9, 3.1, 2.4, 2.9, 3.2, 2.5, 2.7, 3.0, where all ten values are in units of N. What is the mean weight of the object, as well as the measurement uncertainty of the weight? 2) You measure the mass of the object from question 1 to be m = 300.8 g with an uncertainty of ±...

It is possible, using basic lab equipment, to observe the force that a magnet exerts on current in a wire. Equipment:DC Power Supply (3A preferred), Long Banana wire, Large Pasco C Magnet, 1 gm sensitivity food scale. (There will only be a few systems set up. Your TA's will direct you in sharing their use.) Theory: The force due to a magnetic field on a straight wire carrying a current in a uniform B field is: F = iL x...

Lindsay Smyth, a 15 year old young woman, was admitted by her pediatrician for evaluation. Her parents, who are divorced, came with her to the hospital. The client lives with her mother and has no siblings. She has no past psychiatric history or other medical problems. Her pediatrician and her parents report that the client has lost 40lbs in the past year. Despite this weight loss, she has continued to go to school and to excel academically. She also jogs...
