When it comes to measuring mass what is more important accuracy or precision?
Adi S.
Which instrument do you think is more accurate: a properly calibrated balance like the ones used in lab or a properly calibrated volumetric pipet? Explain your answer in 1-2 sentences.
Why does a precision scale give different readings for the weight of an object in air and in a vacuum (remembering that weight is the force exerted against a supporting surface)? Cite an example in which this would be an important consideration.
