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

Verified Answer :

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.
