What does mean zero error reading of vernier calipers?
The scale doesn't start at zero, so you need to compromise or you get a systematic error.
What does negative and positive mean?
A positive number is greater than zero; a negative number is less than zero.
How you remove positive zero error?
Positive zero error means, instead showing zero it shows some value more than zero. Hence positive. Suppose if it shows some reading say 0.03 units. then while correcting we have to subtract the above from the observed reading. So correction is adding negative error.
What does it mean for a value to be a non negative?
Non-negative means either zero or positive.
What do positive and negative values mean?
A positive value is a value that is greater than zero. A negative value is a value that is less than zero.
How can you correct a positive zero error?
There is no negative zero or positive zero, zero is just zero so you can take it off. For example: 3-2-0= just 3-2

What does negative and positive mean?

What do you understand by zero error of a measuring instrument?
It is a defect in a measuring device (Vernier Callipers & Screw Gauge) & zero error is caused by an incorrect position of the zero point.
How do you properly divide by zero?
When I type any number divided by zero into my calculator, it flashes, "ERROR, ERROR," but I say it's possible. "It's not possible to divide by zero," my math teacher says, but who cares about her? Here's my data after graphing it out: If any positive number is divided by zero, it's infinity, if it's negative, it's negative infinity, and zero divided by zero is one. NO NO, you cannot divide by zero, really. See my discussion post.
What is a zero error in an instrument?
This is actually impossible, even for machines, but a zero error would mean there is no uncertainty in the measurement, as in no possibly plus or minus a unit.
How you remove positive zero error?
Positive zero error means, instead showing zero it shows some value more than zero. Hence positive. Suppose if it shows some reading say 0.03 units. then while correcting we have to subtract the above from the observed reading. So correction is adding negative error.
What does it mean for a value to be a non negative?
Non-negative means either zero or positive.
How do you take readings from a micrometer screw gauge?
The first step is to find the zero error and hence the zero correction. Rotate the micrometer until the fixed and movable jaws contact each other - not too hard and not too soft but just right, you should geta feel for this. Rarely will a micrometer will read zero. You need to figure out the zero error. It may be positive or negative. If the zero error is positive then the zero correction is negative and vicevers. Now open the micrometer and insert the object to be measured and close the micrometer with ideally the same sense of pressure you felt when you found the zero error. Now read the micrometer. You add the zero correction to get the true value.
What do positive and negative values mean?
A positive value is a value that is greater than zero. A negative value is a value that is less than zero.
What does the word zero pairs mean?
A pair of numbers with a positive and negative sign where the sum is zero
What does negative 8 mean?
8 less than zero.
