 If you will check the meaning of the word measurement in the dictionary, you will see
that measurement is defined as “the action of measuring something” or “a unit or system of
measuring”. Moreover, to measure is to ascertain the size, amount, or degree of (something) by
using an instrument or device marked in standard units or by comparing it with an object of
known size.
The early Egyptians make use of body parts like the elbow for
measuring length and area. The distance from the elbow to the tip of
the middle finger is called “cubit”. The earliest known unit for weight
was used by early Babylonians. It was known as “mina”. Other basic
units used by early Greeks were finger for length, “Olympic cubit” for
24 fingers, “talent” for weight and “metrites” for volume (liquid
measure). Nowadays the use of the metric system of measurement is
recommended because computations are easier in this system. Early Egyptian Measurement
Physics is an experimental science. Physicists perform experiments to test hypotheses.
Conclusions in experiments are derived from measurements. And physicists use numbers to
describe measurements. Such a number is called a physical quantity. However, a physical
quantity would make sense to everyone when compared to a reference standard. For example,
when one says, that his or her height is 1.5 meters, this means that one’s height is 1.5 times a
meter stick (or a tape measure that is one meter long). The meter stick is here considered to be
the reference standard. Thus, stating that one’s height is 1.5 is not as informative. Since 1960
the system of units used by scientists and engineers is the “metric system”, which is officially
known as the “International System” or SI units (abbreviation for its French term, Système
International). To make sure that scientists from different parts of the world understand the
same thing when referring to a measurement, standards have been defined for measurements of
length, time, and mass.

Length – 1 meter is defined as the distance travelled by light in a vacuum in

1/299,792,458 second. Based on the definition that the speed of light is exactly 299,792,458
m/s.

Time – 1 second is defined as 9,192,631,770 cycles of the microwave radiation due to

the transition between the two lowest energy states of the cesium atom. This is measured from
an atomic clock using this transition.

Mass – 1 kg is defined to be the mass of a cylinder of platinum-iridium alloy at the

International Bureau of weights and measures (Sèvres, France)

As mentioned earlier, Nowadays the use of the metric system of measurement is

recommended because computations are easier in this system since it uses the power of 10.
There are prefixes that describe each power of 10. The table on the next page shows some of
the prefixes used in the metric system of measurement.

 Prefixes used in the Metric System of Measurement

One common quantity you will deal with

as you study physics is length or distance. It can
be measured using devices such as vernier
calliper, micrometer, ruler, meter stick, tape
measure, and even odometer in cars.

The metric units millimeter (mm),

centimeter (cm), and decimeter (dm) are used
to measure short lengths. While metric units
meter (m) and kilometer (km) are used to
measure long length and distances. Devices Used to Measure Length
ATHS Module for General Physics 1: Measurements | 5
 To visualize how long these units of measure
are, consider a meter stick. One meter stick measures
one meter. It is almost the size of a baseball bat. If you
zoom in a meter stick, you would see smaller dashes.
Each dash is equal to a centimeter. There are 100
centimeters in a meter stick. The radius of a one-peso
coin is equal to one centimeter. If we still zoom in the
meter stick or (you may also use a ruler), you would
notice that there are even smaller dashes. Each dash is
equal to one millimeter. A standard paper clip has a
wire diameter that is almost equal to 1millimeter. On
the other hand, a kilometer is a much longer measure
of distance. Ten football fields put together in a row is
equal to a kilometer. Measures of Length

Conversion of units

In Physics, a good number of topics come with computations since we all know that
“Math is the language of Science”. When working with equations, you have to make sure you
are working in a consistent set of units, or you won’t get the correct answer. Also, oftentimes,
measurements are made in a different set of units. These are some of the reasons why you
should learn how to convert units.
I know that you have been converting units in
the past especially in your Math and Science subjects.
Let us review how it is done.

Steps in Conversion:
1. Identify the unit you are starting with.
2. Identify the unit you want to end with.
3. Find the conversion factor/s that will convert the starting
unit to the ending unit.
4. Set up the mathematical expression so that all units except
the unit you want to end with will be cancelled.

Short cut Method of Conversion

Use the following to convert metric units.

Rules for Conversion

From a smaller unit to a larger unit.

Move the decimal point of the given number to be converted k

places to the left, where the value of k is the number of arrows
from the smaller unit to the larger unit in the diagram.

From a larger unit to a smaller unit

Move the decimal point of the given number to be converted k

places to the right, where the value of k is the number of arrows
from the larger unit to the smaller unit in the diagram.

Study the following examples.

Example 1.
Convert 300 cm to dekameter.
Solution: Since there are 3 arrows from centimeter to dekameter and the movement of the
decimal point is from right to left because the conversion of unit is from smaller to larger unit,
then move the decimal point 3 places to the left. Therefore, 300 cm = 0.3 dam
Example 2.
Convert 1 230 dm to kilometer.
Solution: There are 4 arrows from decimeter to kilometer and the movement is also from
right to left since the conversion is from smaller unit to larger unit. Therefore, move the
decimal point 4 places to the left. Thus, 1 230 dm = 0.123 km.

ATHS Module for General Physics 1: Measurements | 8

Example 3.
Convert 653 hm to centimeter.
Solution: Since there are 4 arrows from cm to hm and the movement, this time, is from left to
right because the unit being converted is from bigger unit to smaller unit, then move the
decimal point 4 places to the right. Thus, 653 hm = 6 530 000 cm.
Example 4
Convert 18 km to centimeter.
Solution: Since there are 5 arrows from centimeter to kilometer and the movement is from
left to right, therefore, 18 km = 1 800 000 cm.

What can you say about the numbers or measurements in the given trivia on the previous page?
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
As you can see, the numbers are too big or too small. It could get tedious writing out
those numbers repeatedly. So, a system was developed to help represent these numbers in a way
that was easy to read and understand: Scientific Notation.
Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too big or too small to be
conveniently written in decimal form. It is commonly used by scientists, mathematicians, and
engineers, in part because it can simplify certain arithmetic operations.
How is scientific notation written?

In scientific notation, all numbers are written in the form m × 10n (m times ten raised to
the power of n), where the exponent n is an integer, and the coefficient m is any real number.

Why Use Scientific Notation?

Scientific Notation was developed to easily represent numbers that are either very large
or very small. Let us go back to the two examples given earlier. They are expressed in decimal
form instead of scientific notation to help illustrate the problem:
1. The Andromeda Galaxy (the closest one to our Milky Way galaxy) contains at least
200,000,000,000 stars.
2. The mass of an alpha particle, which is emitted in the radioactive decay of
Plutonium-239 is 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 006 645 kilograms.

Since it could get tedious writing out those numbers repeatedly, we will use scientific
notation in expressing the numbers. But how will we do that? Let us study the rules in writing
scientific notation below.
To convert a number into scientific notation, first, we have to identify where the decimal
point and non-zero digit come. There are two cases in it.

Case 1:
If non-zero digit comes first and decimal point comes next, move the decimal point to
the left and the exponent “n” should be a positive integer. To move the decimal point to the left,
you have to count the number of digits as shown in the example below.

According to the example given above, we have to move the decimal point 3 digits to
the left, and the exponent of 10 should be 3 (positive integer). When we do so, we get the
scientific notation of the given number. So, 2301.8 kg = 2.3018 x 103 kg

ATHS Module for General Physics 1: Measurements | 10

 Case 2:

If the decimal point comes first and non-zero digit comes next, move the decimal point
to the right and the exponent “n” should be a negative integer. To move the decimal point to
the right, we have to count the number of digits as explained in the example given below.

According to the example given above, we have to move the decimal point 5 digits to
the right, and the exponent of 10 should be -5 (negative integer). When we do so, we get the
scientific notation of the given number. So, 0.000023 N = 2.3 x 10-5 N.

Note: If we don't find the decimal point at anywhere of the given number, we have to
assume that there is a decimal point at the end of the number. For example,

2300000 -------------> 2300000 .

Here, the non-zero digit comes first and the decimal point comes next. So we have to
apply case 1 to convert this number into scientific notation.

Remember that if the number is less than 1, it has a negative exponent “n” and if it is
higher than 1, then its exponent “n” is a positive integer.

However, if you wish to write a number expressed in scientific notation to the standard
form or decimal form, move the decimal point to the left (if the exponent of ten is a negative
number), or to the right (if the exponent is positive). You should move the point as many times
as the exponent indicates. Do not write the power of ten anymore.

Philistine on his forehead.
And the stone sank into his forehead, so that he fell on his face to the ground

 Accuracy and precision are two ways that scientists think about error. Accuracy refers
to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value. Precision refers to how close
measurements of the same item are to each other. Precision is independent of accuracy. That
means it is possible to be very precise but not very accurate, and it is also possible to be accurate
without being precise. The best quality scientific observations are both accurate and precise.

One way of demonstrating the difference between accuracy and precision is with a
dartboard. Think of the bulls-eye (center) of a dartboard as the true value. The closer the darts
land to the bulls-eye, the more accurate they are.

• If the darts are neither close • If the darts are all about an equal
to the bulls-eye, nor close to distance from and spaced equally
each other, there is neither around the bulls-eye there is
accuracy nor precision mathematical accuracy because the
average of the darts is in the bulls-
eye. This represents data that is
accurate, but not precise. However,
if you were actually playing darts this
would not count as a bulls-eye!

• If all of the darts land very • If the darts land close to the bulls-
close together, but far from eye and close together, there is
the bulls-eye, there is both accuracy and precision

The ECQ and Me

What has “community quarantine” encouraged you to

do?
The 4 months (or so) of quarantine for some became a
reason to experience cabin fever. Cabin fever refers to the
distressing claustrophobic irritability
or restlessness experienced when a person, or group, is
stuck at an isolated location or in confined quarters for an
extended period of time. Others, instead of being irritated
because of the community quarantine or to insist on going
out of their homes, decided to discover a new hobby or
interest. Some discovered their love for painting, cooking,
baking, planting, and others. Baking
In all of these activities and in our daily activities, we are always measuring. Let us take for
example those who cook or bake. When you cook, there must be a certain measurement of
ingredients you will follow to ensure that the dish will be cooked properly. The same thing is
true with baking. Unfortunately, if you are a first-timer, there are instances when the measuring
instrument you are using is calibrated in a different unit compared to the unit indicated on the
recipe that you saw on Youtube or a cookbook, so you have to convert. If you miss converting
the unit of measures correctly, I bet it would not be a successful and delicious dish/pastry. Since
you are below 21, you are not yet allowed to go out during the community quarantine, so when
your guardian or parents go to the market to buy ingredients, remind them that they have to
make sure that the things they buy from the market have correct measurements like the mass of
the meat and vegetables and the volume of the liquid condiments. Sometimes, the same product
is packed with different volumes or masses, say granulated sugar is packed labelled with 500 g
mass and is sold at P 34.00, another is packed labelled with 1 kg mass sold at P70.00. If you
need 1 kilogram of granulated sugar and you wish to save, your guardian/parent shall buy 2
packs of granulated sugar labelled with 500 grams each because it will sum up to one kilogram,
and yet, you will save P2.00. When cooking or baking, you need to be accurate in following
procedures and measuring ingredients so that you will have the best taste you desire. If you
want to sell or produce it commercially, you must also work with precision for your product to
have consistent taste and quality.
The community quarantine also opened a door for us to explore more on our potentials.
How about you, what activities have you done during the community quarantine? How does
understanding of measurement become helpful as you do these activities?

Is it accurate? Is it precise?
The picture on the right says a thousand words. We have
been battling against COVID-19 for more than 6 months now, yet,
no cure or vaccine has been discovered and approved, and the
number of cases continues to increase. If the true opponent is the
coronavirus, are the priorities, actions, and decisions of the
national government, the local government units, your family, or
even yourself centered on defeating the opponent? There are so
many issues and concerns that we also encounter as we battle
against COVID-19. First is the discipline of the Filipino people,
who, despite repeated reminders still insist on going out without
valid reasons, not wearing masks, or practicing social distancing.
The unemployment in the Philippines soared to 17.7% in April 2020, equivalent to
around 7.3 million jobless Filipinos. Under the Republic Act No. 11469 or the “Bayanihan to
Heal as One” Act, the Department of Budget and Management released P100-billion to the
Department of Social Welfare and Development to cover the funding requirements for the
social amelioration programs to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19. Unfortunately, it shows
that it is not enough to help all poor families. There were also news that local government units
are not fair in distributing financial assistance to their constituents. The ABS-CBN franchise
renewal controversy which also led to unemployment of around 11, 000 employees and the
conflicting views of Filipino people. The return of the locally stranded individuals to their
respected provinces which also became one of the reasons for the spread of the virus after the
government has announced the General Community Quarantine and the Modified General
Community Quarantine in different areas. The creation of a blank and duplicate accounts of UP
activists and students, which some opponents of Duterte have speculated was meant to
intimidate them into silence. (Was your FB account duplicated too even if you are not a UP
student? ____). The House Bill No. 7031 filed by Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte, Marinduque
Rep. Lord Allan Velasco and ACT-CIS party list Rep. Eric Yap seeking to rename NAIA to
“Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Pilipinas” (International Airport of the Philippines), and the
questionable Anti-Terrorism Act which was signed by President Rodrigo Duterte on July 3,
2020. Will these actions accurately hit our target of defeating the COVID-19?
What is your heart and mind about this? Will this actions of the government and the
Filipino people really be of help in this time of crisis?
