OBJECT DIMENSIONS (IPAD AIR 4TH GEN) : 

  • Height: 9.74 inches (247.6 mm)
  • Width: 7.02 inches (178.5 mm)
  • Depth: 0.24 inch (6.1 mm)
  • Weight: 1.0 pound (458 grams)

its fine if the object doesnt have 5 physical properties (the minimum is 3) please solve

1. Objective:
The objective of this activity is assess one's ability to estimate measurements of quantities.
II. Procedure:
1.
2.
3.
Measurements
4.
5.
1. Select an object to be measured.
2. Set the type of physical property to be measured (example: length, area, volume, angle, etc.).
Minimum of 3 properties for each object.
3.
By observation (no actual measurement yet), estimate the measurement of the object. Record
this as the estimated quantity, EQ.
III. Data and Results
Sample table (you can improve/modify the table). Add more rows, if needed.
Object 1
4.
By using a measuring tool (ruler, measuring cup, protractor, etc.), determine the actual
measurement of the object. Record this as the measured quantity, MQ.
5.
Compute and record the relative precision, RP.
