Vernier scale

volume. For instance, if an object has its mass decreased, its volume will also decrease. The experiment used a Vernier caliper to measure the height and the diameter of a cylinder. A Vernier caliper was also used to measure the diameter of the sphere. A meter stick was used to measure the length, width, and height of the wooden block. The precision of an instrument such as a Vernier caliper or a meter stick determines how many significant figures the data is presented in. The mass of the objects

is "yes," and in this activity you will make direct and indirect measurements of the thickness of M&Ms. You will compare the results and evaluate the reliability of each method of measurement. Be sure to view the tutorial on the proper use of the vernier caliper. Please re-visit the information on when to cite sources. Since a graduated cylinder is usually used for liquid measurement, students think they need to put water in the cylinder. This is not true for this activity. The graduated cylinder

In this week’s reflection assignment, I, watched a video on Gunsmithing tools. As a future Gunsmith, I, will need to either; install or disassemble weapon parts, carry out repairs, design parts or alter a weapon in some way to make it operational. Besides conducting repairs and modifications, I, may also customize a weapon through decorative artwork such as; checkering, staining or making wood carving designs. When handling any weapon, we must always ensure that the firearm is safe and cleared before

The item I selected for my Renaissance tool was a 16th century German odometer. An odometer is a tool used for measuring distances. It mainly operated by measuring a rotation of the wheel, and setting up a gear to perform a noticeable action when it is fully rotated and then resets to continue movement. This odometer is a wheel attached to a handle that was created by Christopher Schissler. It is made out of wood and is about 4 feet tall. While from the picture it is unclear how the device records

IV: Assignment of the scale values to the incidents: At this stage, we were able to rate each incident on a one-to-three scale on how well it represented the performance on each dimension. Rating one described weak performance while rating all the three others represented a very efficient

“Maps are projections”; they usually represent a whole or part of an area on a flat surface. Maps describe the relationship between the space and the specific features that the map aims to signify. Mapmakers according to Klinghoffer, “superimposes his own vision upon the world” and show their interests and proclivities in culture and politics while drawing their maps. In this essay, I will be describing and explaining the similarities and differences between 2 life maps. The first map shows the

Introduction General Information Physical Description Eastern Screech Owls are short birds with a sturdy build. They have rounded wings with an average wingspan of 48 – 61 cm. Their typical length are from 16 – 25 cm, the females are slightly larger. The average mass of this species is 164 grams, but females can weigh up to 195 grams. The owl has almost no neck and a small, square shaped tail. One of the most distinctive features of an Eastern Screech Owl are their ear tufts as seen in Figure

Resiliency Scales for Children and Adolescents Review The Resiliency Scales for Children and Adolescents (RSCA) is a profile of personal strengths that assess personal characteristics that are associated with resiliency (Prince-Embury, 2011). These scales help identify how well a child and youth are able to recover from significant distress, adversity, or life traumas. The RSCA was developed by Sandra Prince –Embury and published by SAGE influenced largely by the Development Theory, Social Learning

E). We did not manipulate his scale, instead we used it entirely to received results that would assist us in this project. We anticipated that this structure would stimulate our results to accept our hypothesis. The construct was a measure of thirty-six questions that was used to assess our variable in the survey. This consisted of a six-point Likert scale including: strongly agree to strongly disagree. When analyzing the data we had to reverse

satisfaction and feedback; hence, the widespread use of surveying techniques. Likert scales, especially, have been very helpful in this regard due to their simplicity, ease to conduct and interpret, and high specificity as to which aspects are being measured. In fact, surveying before and after implementing changes proves very helpful as it indicates the level of success or failure. So, what is the composition of a Likert scale and what are the opportunities and limitations of this
