General Physics 1
Accuracy and Precision
•Accuracy refers to the closeness of the
measurement to the true value or
accepted value.
•Precision refers to the closeness among
several measurements that have been
obtained in the same way
A. Precise and

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

• 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.

1.Michael buys several bags of balloons. On the package, it says
that each bag has 100 balloons. He opens the bags and only one
of them has 100 balloons inside, the other bags either have too
many or few. How would you describe the bag of balloon with
100 balloons inside?
2.Mica’s scale measures the mass of objects as consistently 2kg
less than their actual mass. How would you describe the scale?
3.The bowman consistently hits around the target but never hits
the bulls-eyes.
4.An archer hits the same spot on the target three times in a row.
5.An archer hits the bulls-eye.
6-10 Give Examples of tools used for measurement. (at least 5)
