What instrument measures the width of a pencil?
A rulerDepending on the degree of accuracy required: a ruler, vernier callipers, micrometer.
When do you use the micrometer caliper?
Micrometer to measure the accuracy of 0.01 mm. Caliper to measure with accuracy of 0.1 mm is used.
What is the difference between accuracy and uncertainty?
accuracy is when you KNOW something and uncertancy is when your not sure
What is the uncertainty of a constant value?
It is the accuracy in the estimate of the constant or the effect of rounding.
Why is a vernier caliper used to measure length?
Vernier calipers are used to measure length when quite accurate measurement is required, but not such accuracy as to require a micrometer.

When do you use the micrometer caliper?
Micrometer to measure the accuracy of 0.01 mm. Caliper to measure with accuracy of 0.1 mm is used.
An imperial micrometer can read to what accuracy?
An imperial micrometer can measure to within 0.001in (1000th of an inch).
What is the difference between accuracy and uncertainty?
accuracy is when you KNOW something and uncertancy is when your not sure
Does percent uncertainty measure accuracy?
Accuracy STD on the other hand measures precision.
What determines the accuracy of an instrument'?
A variable that could influence the accuracy of an instrument is the reference standard that was used to calibrate the instrument.
What is the accuracy of micrometer screw gauge?
As far as i know, the accuracy varies between 0.01 mm and 0.001 mm depending on the type of micrometer. The ones that measure to 0.001mm are the ones with vernier scales on the sleeve.
What variables determine the accuracy of an instrument?
A variable that could influence the accuracy of an instrument is the reference standard that was used to calibrate the instrument.
What is micrometer and what is least count of micrometer?
InstrumentA micrometer is a guage measuring device used to measure small lengths with an accuracy of 1\100 mm Unit of lengthA micrometer is exactly one millionth of a meter the least is 0 (zero)
What is the uncertainty of a constant value?
It is the accuracy in the estimate of the constant or the effect of rounding.
How to improve accuracy in a measuring instrument?
You adjust the measuring instrument :)
How does quantum uncertainty differ from the uncertainty involved in a coin flip?
completely: coin is simple probability, quantum uncertainty is based on how increasing accuracy of measurement of one property of a tiny particle reduces the accuracy of measurement of another complementary property of the same particle. No probability there, just measurement limitations.
