Why is it important to know whether a measurement is vector or scalar?
Scalar contains only the magnitude but Vector contains the magnitude and direction.
What is a iron meteorite?
A meteorite that contains a significant amount of iron.
Category 2?
Category 2 contains performance measurement tracking codes in an alphanumeric identifier with a letter in the last field. (EX: 4246C)
How many significant figures are in 1.000?
There are 4 significant figures because the number contains a decimal point so you have to add the leading zeros. However, if you did not have a decimal point such as "1000" then there would only be 1 significant figure.
Which graduated cylinder is more precise a 25 mL or 100 mL?
As far as sig figs are concerned, the graduated cylinder will yield a measurement that is both more precise and accurate than is possible using an Erlenmeyer (precision and accuracy mean different things in science talk). Erlenmeyer flasks aren't really intended to be used for measurement of volume, as the width of the flask at the point of the markings introduces lots of error as you try and eyeball the level of fluid within it. The narrow column of a graduated cylinder will allow you to judge volume far more accurately since a difference in the height of fluid in one of these will result in a lower overall difference in volume when compared to the Erlenmeyer.Keep in mind though, that just because a graduated cylinder contains a certain volume doesn't mean that it will deliver that entire volume to another container, since some of the liquid inevitably clings to the sides. This isn't a problem is you are simply trying to measure volume, but if you are trying to pour an exact volume into another container you need to use another method to do so. In this case your best bet is to pipette.
How much significant figures contains The measurement of 0.023 kg?
0.023kg has two significant figures. All non-zero digits are always significant. Leading zeroes, which only determine the decimal place, are never significant.

What are rules in in fundamental operation in significant figures?
The rules governing fundamental operations involving significant figures are: In addition and subtraction, identify first the s.f. in the decimal point of each given measurement. second, add or subtract(depends on the operation given) the given measurement and finally, your answer must have the least decimal point as the least accurate given measurement. For example: 2.51 + 3.98000 The given 2.51 contains 2 decimal place while 3.98000 contains 5 decimal place so your answer must only have the less decimal point as the given. Your answer here is 6.49 not 6.49000. In multiplication and division, identify first the number of significant figures, then do the given operation if it is multiplication or division. your answer must have the least accurate measurement. for example: 2.89x4.987 is 14.41243. since the least number of the significant figure in my example is 2.94 which contains 3 significant figures. Therefore, your answer must have the same no. of the significant figure. Round off your answer the answer in my example will become 14.4 only remember: all non-zero digits are significant (1-9) all leading zeros- are zeros before the non-zero digit is not significant all sandwich zeros these are zeros between non-zero digits are significant all trailing or final zeros - zeros after the non-zero digit are not significant if it is in the left side of the decimal point because it only indicates or used as placeholders only but if the trailing zeros are in the right side of the decimal point and is written after a non-zero digit it is considered as significant
