You guys, how do you justify the number of significant figures used? I don't know if this question has already been asked in this thread, but please answer or direct me to it :) Thanks

lets just assume you have got ur previous answers in 2 s.f, you have to get that particular answer in 2 s.f too and say since all values are in 2 s.f, this is 2 s.f too

calculated value is a measurement. so you multiply .005 by 2 to get .01

Can you please explain further what you mean, I don't quite get it. 'Calculated value is a measurement', I guess you mean that if two values are taken and added or subtracted then we add the uncertainties together (and since taken from same instrument it's same was x2)

Electricity question is the 1st one or the second one and it is confirmed that we are getting a circuit to step up. Our school 's lab attendant clearly told us today.

I think it depends on the accuracy of the instrument used to measure. like if it measures upto 1 dp, then record upto one dp. An exception is the stop watch, stop watch ki saari readings must be recorded upto 1 dp.
to how many decimal places do we write the raw data of time? 1 or 2?

1.two results not enough- take more readings and plot a graph
2.difficult to stop stopwatch at correct moment- use video of marble and clock
3.small difference between h1 and h2- use longer wooden track or whatever they give
4.difficult to release marble without applying a force- use electromagnet with steel ball

dude...the s.f values should b consisitant wid the raw data givn....:)
Read the question bro, there is no RAW data given, we have calculated a height, and then calculated another height and a distance (all in cm im guessing) And then they are asking to find sin thetha using a formula, and then they are asking what the s.f of this value will be and why.. ANY help please

its like this. you give your previous answers (for the other questions) in 3 s.f alright? so for the question they ask whats the s.f for this value, you put 3 s.f too and say, because you found the others in 3 s.f, you have this in 3 s.f as well.got dat?
