A zero error is the reading that an instrument gives when it is measuring nothing. It can also appear as a constant error in all measurements. For example, you cannot measure accurately from the end of a ruler because there is a little bit that sticks out beyond the zero point. Kitchen scales usually need to be zero-ed before use. My car's speedometer does not go below 5 mph so even when parked, the instrument says I'm moving!

What happens if you do not zero the balance before finding the mass of an object?

That would introduce additional errors - i.e., in addition to the errors you have if you DO zero the balance.


The thery of dividing by zero?

Dividing by zero can cause all sorts of errors (like "proving" that 1 = 0), so division by zero is strictly avoided in modern math.


What is advantage of taking the lowest mark on the main scale as the zero mark over the centere- zero?

The advantage of taking the lowest mark on the main scale as the zero mark over the centre-zero is that it covers for all the errors that may happen.

What errors in your technique could cause the line not to go through zero?

Some of the reasons are: Systematic measurement errors. Random measurement errors. Poor use of equipment. Recording errors. Calculation errors. Poor plotting. Wrong model.


What is the difference between a compilation error and logic error?

errors which come during compilation is known as compilation error. here we get syntax errors only not logical errors like division by zero. logical error occur during run time example:if you write a program for division with zero you will not get compilation error but during execution you will error

There are fundamental errors in the question. A particle is three dimentional and cannot exist in a one dimentional universe, nor can velocity.

If we can Divide of a whole number by zero?

You can't. Allowing division results in all sorts of errors; for example, you can "prove" that 1 = 0.
