 Write your answers on a one whole sheet of paper / bond paper.
 Write your solutions clearly and neatly. Avoid erasures as much as possible.

I. IDENTIFICATION: Identify what is being asked in the following. Choose your answer inside the
box.

accuracy random error units

systematic error measurement Système International d’Unités
scalars vectors resultant precision

________________1. It is the art of comparing unknown values to a standard.

________________2. The standards in which the physical quantities are expressed are called
__________.
________________3. The international organization that is set to establish different standards for
different quantities.
________________4. It means obtaining a measurement result that is close to the theoretical value.
________________5. It denotes getting similar result when measurement of a certain object is
repeated.
________________6. When the accuracy is poor and measurements are reproducible, the error is
called ___________________.
________________7. It is the error which involves poor precision.
________________8. These are quantities that are described by magnitude and direction.
________________9. These are quantities that do not need to be defined by a direction and are
sufficiently described by magnitude.
_______________10. The sum obtained from adding vectors is called the ____________.
II. VECTORS. Answer as directed. Use another sheet of paper for this part of the test.

A. Determine the resultant vector of the following using Graphical Method. Illustrate your
solution on your paper. Let 1 cm in your ruler be equivalent to 1m (scale: 1cm = 1m).

d́ 1= 2 m, 20° north of east

d́ 2= 3 m, 40° south of east
d́ 3= 5 m, 80° south of west

B. Find the components of each vector given above. Illustrate the vectors first before solving
for the components (Each vector must have separate illustrations). Show your solution on
your paper.
