Whenever a scale is used to weigh, some plate, bowl, or other container is used to hold small items. The resulting weight is a sum of tare weight plus the weight of the items for which weight is desired. To remove the tare weights and accommodate other factors such as temperature changes, the scale indication is checked and set to zero with everything used to weigh in place. This process setting to zero of the weight of all items that affect the weight is referred to as 'zeroing'. Especially for home scales, 'zero-ing' is recommended to be done each time something new is to be weighed. A home scale may be used for postage, food servings, personal weight, or many other uses.
Since electronic scales are now common, many have a built-in zeroing process that the computer part inside the scale will check the weight of all the parts used to allow weighing such as the weighing platform and the load cells. It will take a few readings from the load cells and determine a value from the zeroing process that it will use as the "zero weight" load on the system. From there you may then weigh yourself, or whatever with an accurate value.

Describe what it means to tare or zero an electronic balance what purpose does this function serve?
In order to verify and ensure accuracy of instrumentation zeroing is done. By zeroing the scale operators can establish a baseline of an empty scale registering '0' mass.
What is an example of convergent?
Deductively zeroing in on a multiple choice answer.
Decreasing or zeroing out subscriptions will automatically reduce the on hand quantities?
false

What is the purpose of the zeroing resistor in an ohmmeter and does it always accomplish its intended purpose?
A: There is no zeroing resistor the leads resistance are the zeroing resistor. there is however a pot where the zero can be accomplished by adjusting the current flow out of the meter to measure the voltage to determine the resistance. that pot is an adjustment to compensate for an old internal battery drift. If not changed periodically it may become a useless meter because zero cannot be achieved
When is it appropriate to press the tare button on an electronic balance?
after zeroing the balance and placing an empty weighing paper on it
What is it called if you use the knob under the pan to line up the triple beam balance pointer with zero?
Zeroing
What is tarring a balance in chemistry?
This is "zeroing" the mass value given by a set of weighing scales, to cancel out the mass of whatever is already on the scales.
What are the causes of errors in weighing?
Many things may cause the error for example: 1- Non-level surface under weighing machine or scale.2- Zeroing error3- Additional weight of some unwanted thing like dust or absorbed moisture4-Weight of a container or bag.5-Internal fault6-Rusty or broken spring7-Reading errorETC
Do beagles catch mice?
Beagles are great at catching mice. Once they pick up the scent of a rodent, they start zeroing in and are quick when confronting one.
What is an example of convergent thinking?
An example of convergent thinking is when a group of people brainstorm ideas and then collectively narrow down the list to select the best solution to a problem. This process involves analyzing and evaluating different possibilities to arrive at a single, optimal solution.
