Micrometer Screw Gauge

Slide 5 Grade 7 Physics
What is it?
Vernier Caliper and Micrometer
Screw Gauge are precision
instruments.

Precision Instrument is a tool that

can be controlled very accurately
so it can produces very accurate
results.

1. A taxi hurries with a constant speed of 84 km/h. How far
can it travel in 5 hours?

2. A van travels 24 km with a constant speed of 65 km/h and

another 50 km with a constant speed of 80 km/h. How long
did it take for this trip?

3. A car travels for 1 1/2 hours km with a constant speed of 65

km/h and then travels for 45 minutes with a constant speed of
80 km/h. What distance did the vehicle cover?
