Significant figures (sig figs)

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Significant figures (sig figs). How many numbers mean anything. When we measure something, we can (and do) always estimate between the smallest marks. How long is the green bar?. Significant figures (sig figs). The better marks the better we can estimate.

Unit 1

Unit 1. Significant Figures. In physics we will be taking measurements and using a lot of numbers for calculations. However, we have to be aware of significant figures (sig figs) because every measurement has a certain degree of uncertainty.
