| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Absolute Zero | zero kelvins. the temp at which alt motion stops |
| Weight | gravitys affect on mass |
| Mass | quanity of matter |
| Sig Figs | measurement that includes all known digits |
| Precision | how close a seris of measurements are to each other |
| Accuracy | how close something is to the actual value |
| SI Units | Length (m), Mass (kg), Temp (k), Time (sec), Amount of substance (mol), Luminous intensity (cd), and eletric current (A) |

| Sig Figs Adding/ Subtracting | rounded to the same # of DECIMAL PLACES as the # with the least |
| Sig Figs Multiplying/ Dividing | rounded to the same # of SIG FIGS as the # with the least |
| Convert between Kelvins and Celcius | Kelvins = Celcuis +273 |
| Density | (Ratio) mass of an object to its volume |
