Unit Conversion and
1 Scientific Notation

What I Need to Know

Physics is an experimental science. Thus, experiments are performed in order to test

hypotheses. How do we make conclusions? Conclusions in experiment are derived from
measurements. Experiments are performed to measure physical quantities. Physical
quantities can be expressed in terms of a number of fundamental quantities. Mass,
distance, time are some of these fundamental quantities. A physical quantity will only make
sense if compared to a reference standard. For example, a cloth you bought from
Everbest Store means that the cloth’s length is times a meter stick (or a tape measure
that is 1-m long). Here, the meter stick is considered as our reference standard. Therefore,
stating that the cloth is 3.5 is not as informative.

Look at the figure to the right. How difficult will it be

without a standard?

To make sure that scientist throughout the world means

the same thing when referring to a measurement; standards
have been defined for measurements of time, mass and length.

In this lesson, you are to solve measurement problems

involving conversion of units, expression of measurements in
scientific notation.
 What’s In

You have learned in your Grade 11 Chemistry the rules of significant figures. Recall
that when we say significant figures these are the digits in a number that indicates reliability
of a measurement.

Check It Out!

Determine the number of significant figures of the values given below:

1. 0.0025  ___________
2. 12. 00030  ___________
3. 3.1416  ___________
4. 20.20  ___________
5. 0. 4  ___________

Rules in Determining the Number of Significant Figure: (A short recall)

1. All nonzero digits are significant.

2. All zeros between nonzero digits are significant.
3. All zeros before the first nonzero digit are NOT significant.
4. All zeros to the right of the last nonzero digit are significant.

This concept which you learned in your previous science subject will be used in our
entire topic involving measurement. Thus, it is important to remember and apply these rules.

 What Is It

If we shorten a message, we should do it in a way that the message will be useful

and easy to understand. Physical quantities vary from very large numbers (e.g. the speed of
light in a vacuum = ) to very small numbers (length of a certain wavelength
of visible light of ). For scientists and students like you writing large or very
small numbers in its standard form can be a waste of time, energy and even your resources
like ink and paper.

Scientific Notation

Scientific notation also called exponential notation is a convenient way of writing

values using the power of ten notation wherein we can determine the number of significant
digits as well as the place value of the digit. Place values are denoted by prefixes. (See
appendix A for the SI prefixes found in the last page of this lesson)

Format:

where: - the characteristic digit, may be any digit from 0-9

– the mantissa digits, may be any digit from 0-9
– base
– exponent, the number of times the decimal point is moved to either
towards
left or right

Rules in expressing standard notation to scientific notation:

1. When the decimal point is moved from right to left, the result is positive exponent.
Example: = =

2. When the decimal point is moved left to right, the result is negative exponent.
Example:

Rules converting scientific notation back to standard notation are shown below.

1. Move the current decimal point according to the number of places based on the
exponent
(+) positive exponent – move to the RIGHT
Example:

( ) negative exponent – move to the LEFT

Example:
Rules in Addition and Subtraction involving scientific notation

1. When two or more quantities are added or subtracted, make sure the exponents are
the same.

2. Add/subtract the number. Keep the exponent the same.

Example:
(a)

(b)

-Since exponents are not the same, choose one to adjust.

-LARS- (here we will adjust to have an
exponent of )
-From , we will move two decimal places to the left since we
added two to the exponent, that becomes

Rules in Multiplication and Division involving scientific notation

1. Powers of ten are added in multiplication
Example:

2. Powers of ten are subtracted in division

Example:

Significant Figures

1. In adding or subtracting quantities, the least number of decimal places in any of the
numbers being added or subtracted should also be the number of the decimal places
in the answer.
Example:
(two decimal places )
+ (one decimal place) LEAST
(four decimal places)

(ONE decimal place)

2. In multiplying or dividing quantities, the least number of significant figures in the input
number should also be the number of significant figures in the answer.
Example:
(four significant figures )

x (three significant figures ) (LEAST)

(three significant figures )

 What Is It

Unit Consistency and Conversion of Units

There are two major systems of units in the world namely; SI (derived from French
Syteme International) units also known as Metric system and the English syste m. Although
the system of units used by engineers and scientists is the metric system since 1960, some
countries continue to use the English system of units like for example the United States of
America. However, the conversions between the SI unit and English system of units have
been well-defined. (See appendix B found in the last page of this lesson for conversion
factors)

Multiplying and/or dividing units just like ordinary algebraic expressions give an easy
way to convert a quantity from one unit to another to be dimensionally consistent.

Example:

(a) To convert to
Conversion factor to be used:

(b) To convert in meters per second

(c) To convert to

Conversion factors to be used:

(d) Converting units with different prefixes (See appendix A for the SI prefixes found
in the last page of this lesson)

(i.) Example: convert 5 Megameter to meter

(ii.) Example: convert to

(iii.) Example: to
kilo means so,

* ANOTHER way to do this: to

Step 1: subtract exponents
*kilo has exponent of and centi has exponent of

3 subtract -2 =5

from kilo to centi

Step 2: move decimal places according to difference of exponents to the direction of
wanted unit.

* move the decimal 5 places to the right (toward centi)

or

5 decimal places to the right

 (iv.) Example: to
milli means so, =

conversion factor (See appendix A for the SI prefixes found in the last page of
this lesson)

* ANOTHER way to do this: to

Step 1: subtract exponents
*milli has exponent of and deci has exponent of

-1 -3 =2

 Lesson
Accuracy and Precision
2

What’s In

In lesson 1, you have learned how to express very large and small physical quantities
into scientific notation applying the number of significant figures. You also learned solving
measurement problems involving conversion of units.

In this next topic, you will learn the definition of two important terms when we talk
about measurements; accuracy and precision as well as its importance. You will also
familiarize measuring instruments of varying precision and its advantage.

What I Need to Know

Often times, accuracy and precision are used interchangeably. However, these two
terms mean different things. As what you have learned in the previous topic, physicists
perform experiments and these experiments involve measurements. It is important to be
both accurate and precise in taking scientific measurements.

Why do you think it is important to be both accurate and precise in measurement?

Can you think of situations encountered in daily life that need to be accurate and precis e?
What do you think will happen if measurements are in accurate and less precise?

In this lesson, you are to differentiate accuracy from precision.

 What’s New

General Instruction: Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.

I. Study the image below. The bull’s-eye represents the accepted true value. Each
cross represents a repeated measurement of the same quantity. Describe each
of the figures by choosing its description inside the box.

A. Precise and Accurate C. Not accurate but precise

B. Accurate but not precise D. Not accurate and not precise

Figure 1 Figure 2

Figure 3 Figure 4

II. What is your basis for your choices in describing the figures above?

What is your idea about accuracy? How about precision?

 What Is It

Accuracy and precision in measurements are important in many aspects of the world;
may it be in the field of research, medicine, electronics/technology, manufacturing, and
among others. Take for example, inaccurate dose of medicine may harm patient. In the
same way, inaccurate measurements used in appliances for example may cause it to
explode, even might spark fire that will cause harm to humans and properties. Even a
difference of 0.01 might lead to undesirable results.

Accuracy refers to the closeness of the measurement to the true value or accepted
value. On the other hand, precision refers to the closeness among several measurements
that have been obtained in the same way. Let us differentiate accuracy and precision in the
context of a basketball player making a basket. We can say that a basketball player has a
high degree of accuracy if the player always makes a basket even though he strikes in
different positions of the rim. However, if he does not make many baskets but always strikes
in the same position of the rim, then he has high degree of precision but not accurate. This
concept is also the same with the figures shown in the previous activity showing targets on a
dart board.

To better understand accuracy and precision of measurements, consider the

example below.

Example:

You, a student as part of your activity, weigh the new golf ball five times or five trials.
The results are as follows: , , , , . The accepted
value for the mass of a new golf ball is .

Observe that the average of the five values from five trials is close to the accepted
value. Therefore, we can say that the measurement has high accuracy. If we consider the
individual measurements, observed that they agree among the five measurements.
Therefore, we can say that the measurements are precise.

To ensure high accuracy and precision, one consideration is using appropriate

measuring instruments designed to fit the purpose. Just take for example; if you want to
measure a piece of wood, tape measure is suitable. But if you are going to use a tape
measure in measuring smaller objects, do you think it will yield an accurate and precise
measurement? Do you expect an accurate and precise measurement if you will use a ruler
in measuring the eternal diameter of a thin wire?

Let us familiarize three measuring instruments (as shown below), its advantages and
its precision.

A ruler can measure longer/larger

objects. The smallest scale division
is or .
 A vernier caliper allows to measure
length including outside
dimensions, inside dimensions and
depth of smaller objects with more
precision and accuracy. It can
measure up to or
decimal place in which makes
it good to use in small and precise
measurements.

Micrometer is used to make

accurate measurements of the
thickness of a sheet of paper and
the external diameter of thin wires.
It can measure up to or
decimal place in .

Study the picture of scale A and

scale B on the right. Which scale is
more accurate?

Why do you say so?

 What’s More: Data Analysis

General Instruction: Analyze the measurement data set provided and describe the date
set in terms of accuracy and precision.

Coin diameter

A gold coin has an ‘accepted’ diameter of 28.054 mm.

Two students are asked to measure the diameter of four gold coins. Student A uses a simple
plastic ruler. Student B uses a precision measuring tool called a micrometer.

Student A – plastic ruler Student B – micrometer

27.9 mm 28.246 mm
