All 10 Questions
- An aerospace engineer calculates the tolerance of a turbine blade. If the measurement is 15.050 mm, how many significant figures are present, and what does the final zero imply regarding the instrument used?A) 4 significant figures; the instrument only measures to the hundredths place.B) 5 significant figures; the instrument has precision to the thousandths place.C) 3 significant figures; trailing zeros after a decimal are placeholders.D) 5 significant figures; the instrument has an accuracy error of 0.001.
- Using dimensional analysis, a chemist must convert a reaction rate of 5.0 micrograms per millisecond (µg/ms) into kilograms per second (kg/s). The final value is:A) 5.0 x 10^-3 kg/sB) 5.0 x 10^-6 kg/sC) 5.0 x 10^0 kg/sD) 5.0 x 10^-9 kg/s
- In a high-precision lab, a series of measurements that are highly clustered together but far from the theoretical 'true' value are considered to have high accuracy but low precision.A) TrueB) False

- In the derivation of derived units, which of the following correctly expresses the SI derived unit for Force (Newton) in terms of SI base units?A) kg · m / sB) kg · m^2 / s^2C) kg · m / s^2D) g · cm / s^2
- A thermal scientist measures a change in temperature as 25.0 degrees Celsius. To utilize this in an ideal gas law equation requiring SI base units, the value must be converted to:A) 298.15 KelvinB) 248.15 KelvinC) 77.0 FahrenheitD) 298.15 Candela
- While calibrating a pipette, a technician finds it consistently delivers 0.02 mL more liquid than intended. This is an example of what type of error, and how should it be addressed?A) Random error; it can be reduced by taking the average of many trials.B) Systematic error; it should be corrected by recalibrating the equipment offset.C) Human error; the technician must be replaced to ensure better optical alignment.D) Parallax error; the technician is reading the meniscus from the wrong angle.
- The 'mole' is an SI base unit used to measure the luminous intensity of a chemical substance.A) TrueB) False
- A cube has a side length of 2.0 cm. When calculating the volume in cubic meters (m^3) for an introductory physics report, which conversion factor sequence is required?A) Multiply by (1 m / 100 cm)B) Multiply by (1 m / 100 cm)^2C) Multiply by (100 cm / 1 m)^3D) Multiply by (1 m / 100 cm)^3
- When multiplying 3.22 m by 2.1 m, the product displayed on a calculator is 6.762. Following the rules of scientific measurement and significant figures, the final answer should be recorded as:A) 6.76 m^2B) 6.8 m^2C) 7 m^2D) 6.762 m^2
- In the SI system, the kilogram is unique because it is the only base unit defined by a physical artifact rather than a fundamental physical constant.A) TrueB) False
