100
The ability to shoot and hit the same spot repeatedly (or always get the same measurement).
What is precision?
100
They don't count for significant figures of you don't see a decimal.
What are ending zeros?
100
The correct way of showing 3020.0 in scientific notation.
What is 3.02 x 10^3
100
The explanation of how you solve dimensional analysis once it is all set up.
What is multiply by the numbers on top and divide by the numbers on bottom?
100
The explanation of how to convert in the metric system, 64 mm into meters.
What is ...move the decimal from the right side of the 4, 3 jumps to the left, to get 0.064 m
200
A judgement of how good or bad your ability to measure (or shoot) is.
What is precision and accuracy?
200
The number of significant numbers in 50200
What is 3?
200
All numbers bigger than "1"
What is the rule to use a positive power?
200
The correct answer (including unit) for solving 54.3 m (1 km / 1000 m) (1 mile / 1.609 km)
What is 0.0337 miles?
200
The explanation of how to convert in the metric system, 4.3 m into cm.
What is ...move the decimal 2 jumps to the right, to get 430 cm
300
A measure of a user's or tool's ability to do what is expected of it. It may vary a little, but generally is able to perform what is needed.
What is accuracy?
300
Uses the least number of decimal places as a guide to getting the precise answer.
What is addition and subtraction?
300
The way to show 5.40 x 10^-4 as a regular number
What is 0.000540?
300
The correct answer for converting 0.64 gallons into Liters.
What is 2.4 L?
300
The explanation of the MAIN guideline for solving for a different variable in an equation.
What is keep that variable you are solving for in the SAME place and move everything else away from it by using the opposite operation to cancel it out and move it to the other side?
400
A measure of your ability to be consistent. It means your tool is very fine tuned and controlled, but may need to be adjusted to hit the mark.
What is precision?
400
The explanation for how many numbers to count for significant figures.
What is...NEVER count the beginning zeros or the ending zeros if you don't see a decimal. You do count all the numbers in the number cluster (including middle zeros) and the ending zeros if you DO see a decimal anywhere?
400
All numbers smaller than "1"
What is the rule to use a negative power?
400
The correct way of setting up the conversion of 60 miles per hour into m/sec.
What is 60 mi/ hr (1609 m / 1 mi)(1 hr / 3600 sec.)
400
The only exception to the rule of NEVER moving the actual variable you are solving for in an equation.
What is when that variable is found on the BOTTOM of the equation (or is being divided)...then you have to multiply by that variable to get it to move to the TOP of other side?
500
The explanation of what is the difference between precision and accuracy.
What is....precision is the ability to hit several times in the same spot or get the same measurement (close to each other), while accuracy is the ability to hit several times close to the target or expected answer?
500
The best precise answer for 6.0 x 0.3
What is 2?
500
The explanation of how to make a number into scientific notation
What is...make sure there is only one digit, then the decimal, then the rest of the non-zero numbers times 10 to the power of the number of moves the decimal has to make to get to the position to the right of the first number. It is only a negative power if the original number is a very small decimal (less than "1")?
500
The explanation for how you convert numbers using dimensional analysis
What is ...use your given number in the first spot, then find an equality to convert and put the same unit in the opposite place of the first unit (on the bottom if the first is on the top) and the rest of the equality in the remaining position of the that section. To solve multiply the top and divide all the #'s on the bottom.
500
The steps for finding and the answer to "What is v equal to?" in E = mv^2 / 2
What is multiply both sides by 2, divide both sides by m, then take the square root of both sides to get v = (square root of) 2E/m
