Understanding Physics Concepts
1. Physicists do experiments, make observations, record data, and use the data to create models
or theories to answer questions.
2. Possible answers include telecommunications satellites, telescopes, and computers.
3. Because the millimeter is the smaller unit, the length of the tabletop measured in millimeters is
more precise because the measurement relies less on estimating.
4. 88.5 cm, 88.40 cm
5. a. 4
b. 4
c. 2
6. Precision is the degree of exactness used in measuring a quantity. Accuracy is the extent to
which the measured value of a quantity agrees with the real value.
