Chapter 1 Measurement 3E SP WS4 Micrometer 2011

This document contains a worksheet on measuring length using a micrometer. It has 5 multiple choice questions about reading measurements on a micrometer and determining actual measurements based on the micrometer's zero error. The questions cover topics like what measurement is shown, accounting for zero error, and matching instruments like a micrometer, vernier calipers and ruler to measurements. The document provides context, questions, and answer options for students to practice measuring skills using a scientific measuring tool.
