    Repetitive natural phenomena like the rotation of Earth or orbit of Moon could serve as time standards, but pendulums have drawbacks as standards due to variations in length and acceleration due to gravity. The kilogram and mole are useful as different units of substance amount because the kilogram measures mass while the mole measures number of particles. The most accurate measurement of the needle length is 0.2145 m because it has the highest precision with measurements to the thousandths place. Experimental data used in computations is only as reliable as the least precise data point due to errors propagating in calculations. Possible errors in measuring the period of a pendulum with a stopwatch include human errors in starting and stopping times and oscillations damping over multiple periods.

    Name several repetitive phenomenon occurring in nature which could serve as

    reasonable time standards.


    Give the drawbacks to use the period of a pendulum as a time standard.
    Why do we find it useful to have two units for the amount of substance, the
    kilogram and the mole?
    Three students measured the length of a needle with a scale on which minimum
    division is 1mm and recorded as (i) 0.2145 m (ii) 0.21 m (iii) 0.214m. Which reasons
    is correct and why?
    An old saying is that A chain is only as strong as its weakest link . What analogous
    statement can you make regarding experimental data used in a compulation?
    The period of simple pendulum is measured by a stop watch. What type of errors
    are possible in the time period?
