5.8 cm
At least: 5.8 cm

Mr. Gabrielse
Solution: Add a Doubtful Digit
5.9 cm
5.8 cm
• Guess an extra doubtful digit between 5.80 cm and 5.90 cm.
• Doubtful digits are always uncertain, never precise.
• The last digit in a measurement is always doubtful.
![Page 10: Mr. Gabrielse Significant Digits 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9... Mr. Gabrielse.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649cc25503460f94989fe0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mr. Gabrielse
Pick a Number:5.80 cm, 5. 81 cm, 5.82 cm, 5.83 cm, 5.84 cm, 5.85 cm, 5.86 cm, 5.87 cm, 5.88 cm, 5.89 cm, 5.90 cm

Mr. Gabrielse
Pick a Number:5.80 cm, 5. 81 cm, 5.82 cm, 5.83 cm, 5.84 cm, 5.85 cm, 5.86 cm, 5.87 cm, 5.88 cm, 5.89 cm, 5.90 cm
5.9 cm
5.8 cmI pick 5.83 cm because I think the pencil is closer to 5.80 cm than 5.90
cm.
![Page 12: Mr. Gabrielse Significant Digits 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9... Mr. Gabrielse.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649cc25503460f94989fe0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mr. Gabrielse
Extra Digits
5.9 cm
5.8 cm
5.837 cm
I guessed at the 3 so the 7 is
meaningless.
![Page 13: Mr. Gabrielse Significant Digits 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9... Mr. Gabrielse.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649cc25503460f94989fe0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mr. Gabrielse
Extra Digits
5.9 cm
5.8 cm
5.837 cm

Digits after the doubtful digit are
insignificant (meaningless).

Example Problem
– Example Problem: What is the average velocity of a student that walks 4.4 m in 3.3 s?
• d = 4.4 m• t = 3.3 s• v = d / t• v = 4.4 m / 3.3 s = 1.3 m/s not
1.3333333333333333333 m/s

Mr. Gabrielse
Identifying Significant Digits
Zeros make this interesting!
FYI: 0.000,340,056,100,0
Beginning Zeros
Middle Zeros
Ending Zeros
Beginning, middle, and ending zeros are separated by nonzero digits.

Measure the distance: 10.21 m
Measure the time: 1.07 s
Physicists take data (measurements) and use equations to make predictions.

Measure the distance: 10.21 m
Measure the time: 1.07 s

Mr. Gabrielse
speed = 10.21 m = 9.542056075 m 1.07 s s
Physicists take data (measurements) and use equations to make predictions.
Too many significant digits!
We need rules for doing math with significant digits.

Mr. Gabrielse
Math with Significant Digits
The result can never be more precise than the least precise
measurement.
![Page 30: Mr. Gabrielse Significant Digits 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9... Mr. Gabrielse.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649cc25503460f94989fe0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Mr. Gabrielse
speed = 10.21 m = 9.54 m 1.07 s s
1.07 s was the least precise measurement since it had the least number of significant digits
The answer had to be rounded to 9.54 so it wouldn’t have
more significant digits than 1.07 s.

Mr. Gabrielse
Rounding Off to X
X: the new last significant digit
Y: the digit after the new last significant digit
If Y ≥ 5, increase X by 1
If Y < 5, leave X the same
Example:
Round 345.0 to 2 significant digits.
