Question

On a spring scale that measures force, a reading shows the force of an object to be about half way between 0 N and 1 N. Which of the following would be the most accurate measurement for the force?
49.0 N
0.49 N
0.049 N
4.90 N

Answer 1

0.49 N
On a spring scale that measures force, a reading shows the force of an object to be about half way between 0 N and 1 N. 0. 49 Newton is the most accurate measurement for the force. If we cluster the number values of 0 N to 1 N It would be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0 N. These numbers indicate the micro intervals of 0-1. It cannot be the other given because the other values are either higher or lower which exceeds the 0-1 scale. Observe.
