Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A student measures the temperature of water as 25°C with an uncertainty of ±0.5°C. What is the minimum temperature?
  • Step 1: Identify the measured temperature, which is 25°C.
  • Step 2: Identify the uncertainty, which is ±0.5°C.
  • Step 3: To find the minimum temperature, subtract the uncertainty from the measured temperature.
  • Step 4: Perform the calculation: 25°C - 0.5°C = 24.5°C.
  • Step 5: The minimum temperature is 24.5°C.
  • Measurement and Uncertainty – Understanding how to apply uncertainty to measured values to determine possible ranges.
