Physics I Lab 1: Measurement Name: Nina Board Team Members: Equipment: Vernier caliper Dial caliper Micrometer caliper Half meter stick Demonstration of Vernier caliper Machine parts Electronic balance stopwatch Part 1: Measurement of length (diameter, distance) Use the half-meter stick, the Vernier caliper, the Dial caliper, and the Micrometer Caliper to measure the diameter of your pen or pencil in millimeters (mm). Check the calibration of the calipers before you start doing your measurements. Note how accurate each measurement can read. (Hint: Careful with the units of each!) Instrument Accuracy Diameter (cm) Diameter (mm) Half meter stick 1 mm a 1.0 cm 10 mm Vernier caliper 0.1 mm 0.991 cm 9. 91 mm Dial caliper 0.1 mm 1.09 andA cm 10.94190 mm Micrometer 0.01 mm 1.074 cm 10.74 mm Compare the measurements made with the four instruments (be specific): the measurements became more percise as we went down the list of different instruments Find on the internet the difference between accuracy and precision (write it in your own words): Accuracy - how close measurement is to true value Precision - how close repealed measurements are to each other If the instrument is not calibrated correctly, how would that affect the accuracy of the results? accuracy would be affected by the error in callibration but the results would be all wrong by a consistant margin If the instrument is not calibrated correctly, how would that affect the precision of the results? the precision of the results would not be affected because the consistency of repeated measurements does not depend on callibration 11 ER-Summer 2025
