    The document appears to be a quiz for a physics lab course. It covers key concepts like: 1) Measurement techniques like comparing quantities to standards and simple measurement of objects. 2) Types of errors like constant errors that always produce the same sign and random errors that are equally likely to be positive or negative. 3) Distinguishing between scalar and vector quantities. 4) Converting between different units like miles to feet and pounds to kilograms. 5) Calculating values like standard deviation, average deviation, and probable error from experimental data tables. 6) Using trigonometry and the Pythagorean theorem to calculate resultant displacements from component displacements.

    Phys. Lab. Quiz 1 Name: _________________________ Section: ________________________ I. Identification. (10 pts.) 1.

    . The process of comparing a quantity with a standard. 2. What is the simplest method of measuring the length, the width and the thickness of an object. 3. A technical term used to describe the uncertainty of a reading. 4. An error that tends to make a reading too high. 5. An error that tends to make a reading too low. 6. It is an error that always produces the same sign. 7. It is an error which positive and negative signs are equally probable. 8. These are quantities that have only magnitude. 9. These are quantities that have direction as well as magnitude. 10. It is a single vector quantity that would produce the same result as the original pair. II. Convert the following: 1. 1.5 miles = feet 2. 2000 grams = pounds 3. 2.5 miles / Hour = feet / second 4. 30 pounds / square inch = kilogram / square meter 5. 50 feet = meter III. Complete the tables. Round off your answers to 3 decimal places. (24 pts.) Errors: A = 55.5 cm Y = 21.5 cm h = _______cm Deviation(+) Deviation(-) T.R. = _______cm Square of the deviation (D2)
