![Page 1: Example 2 (don’t copy, just try) The automobile gas tank of a Canadian tourist holds 39.50 L of gas. If 1 L of gas is equal to 0.264 gal in the US (“gal”](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec55503460f94bcfa83/html5/thumbnails/1.jpg)
Example 2 (don’t copy, just try)
The automobile gas tank of a Canadian tourist
holds 39.50 L of gas. If 1 L of gas is equal to
0.264 gal in the US (“gal” is the symbol for
“gallon”), and gas is $1.26/gal in Dallas, Texas,
how much will it cost the
tourist to fill his gas tank in Dallas?

Tips to Avoid Rounding Errors
• Write only one equation for the entire question
• If you must do more than one equation, do not round before you get to the final answer
• Instead, write down as many digits as you can or use the memory function on your calculator (M+)
• This is the difference b/t right and wrong answers!

Other Units & Equivalences
• 1 t = 1 tonne = 103 kg
• 1 mL = 1 cm3 (cubic centimetres, cc)
• 103 L = 1 m3

Derived Units
• A unit made by combining two or more other units
• Speed = distance/time (km/h)• Density = mass/volume (g/L) • Area = length x width (m2)• Volume = length x width x height (m3)
![Page 27: Example 2 (don’t copy, just try) The automobile gas tank of a Canadian tourist holds 39.50 L of gas. If 1 L of gas is equal to 0.264 gal in the US (“gal”](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec55503460f94bcfa83/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Changing Units of Area & Volume
Example: 10 m3 = ? cm3 Start with the metric conversion factor
1 m = 100 cm To get m3 we have to square both sides
(1 m)3 = (100 cm)3 Remember that the exponent applies to both the number and the units
13 m3 = 1003 cm3 1 m3 = 106 cm3
![Page 28: Example 2 (don’t copy, just try) The automobile gas tank of a Canadian tourist holds 39.50 L of gas. If 1 L of gas is equal to 0.264 gal in the US (“gal”](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec55503460f94bcfa83/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Changing Units of Area & Volume
10 m3 = ? cm3
We have just derived a conversion factor relating m3 and cm3 (1m3 = 106 cm3)
Use this conversion factor to find the unknown just like before

Guiding Questions for the Video
• What are the differences between exact and measured numbers?
• What are the two kinds of 0’s and how do we tell them apart?
• Are there disagreements between the video and your notes?

That’s the End of Unit 1…
• Unit 1 test Monday• Everything in Hebden Units I & II is fair game
except p.34 & 35 on Experimental Uncertainty• Everything in the PowerPoints are as well• Practice: all Hebden questions except #51 and
52

Unit Test Outline
• Lab safety, sig figs, scientific notation, measurements (how to record measurements, accuracy, precision, uncertainty), unit conversions
• Out of ~45-50 • Show as much work as you can, check sig figs
& units! • Scientific calculators ONLY
![Page 32: Example 2 (don’t copy, just try) The automobile gas tank of a Canadian tourist holds 39.50 L of gas. If 1 L of gas is equal to 0.264 gal in the US (“gal”](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec55503460f94bcfa83/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Lab Reports
• Very well done!
• Several groups went above and beyond
• Everyone got 10/10 and some feedback
• See me after class if you want to discuss
![Page 33: Example 2 (don’t copy, just try) The automobile gas tank of a Canadian tourist holds 39.50 L of gas. If 1 L of gas is equal to 0.264 gal in the US (“gal”](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec55503460f94bcfa83/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Station 1 – Volume (long, round things)
• What were the smallest divisions you could read on the instruments? These are your certain digits.
• Did you add an uncertain digit?• Burette scale is upside down (did you notice?)• Transferring from beaker to cylinder
– Less precise to more precise so there should’ve been more sig figs
![Page 34: Example 2 (don’t copy, just try) The automobile gas tank of a Canadian tourist holds 39.50 L of gas. If 1 L of gas is equal to 0.264 gal in the US (“gal”](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec55503460f94bcfa83/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Station 2 – Length (rulers and calipers)
• Calipers were the most precise because they gave the most decimal places
• You were asked to measure the diameter of a cork. Which diameter? How do you know if you’re really measuring the diameter?
![Page 35: Example 2 (don’t copy, just try) The automobile gas tank of a Canadian tourist holds 39.50 L of gas. If 1 L of gas is equal to 0.264 gal in the US (“gal”](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec55503460f94bcfa83/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Station 3 – Temperature
• Thermometers had Celsius AND Fahrenheit scales. Did your values match with the correct units?
• The other unit (the SI unit) for temperature is kelvin
![Page 36: Example 2 (don’t copy, just try) The automobile gas tank of a Canadian tourist holds 39.50 L of gas. If 1 L of gas is equal to 0.264 gal in the US (“gal”](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec55503460f94bcfa83/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Station 4 – Weight/Mass
• Centigram = 10-2 g = 0.01 g• Milligram = 10-3 g = 0.001 g• Always remember to zero your balance first
before weighing anything
![Page 37: Example 2 (don’t copy, just try) The automobile gas tank of a Canadian tourist holds 39.50 L of gas. If 1 L of gas is equal to 0.264 gal in the US (“gal”](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec55503460f94bcfa83/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Station 5 – Time
• Which was the most accurate? Trick question!
• You don’t know accuracy unless you have the true value!
• Just because two measurements were more precise doesn’t mean the other one which was way different can’t be more accurate
![Page 38: Example 2 (don’t copy, just try) The automobile gas tank of a Canadian tourist holds 39.50 L of gas. If 1 L of gas is equal to 0.264 gal in the US (“gal”](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec55503460f94bcfa83/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
