Zero is not always on the far left of a graphic scale because scales can be designed to best represent the data being presented. Placing zero on the far left may not always provide the most accurate or visually appealing representation of the data. In some cases, shifting zero away from the far left can help emphasize differences between data points or highlight specific trends more effectively. Ultimately, the positioning of zero on a graphic scale is a design choice that should be made thoughtfully based on the context of the data being displayed.

How do you read O on a graphic fractional scale?

Graphic and fractional scales are two different things. A graphic scale on a map is a line marked with the lengths which represent real distances. It has a zero at one end. A fractional scale simply gives the ratio between map and real distances, e.g. 1: 10 000, so zero doesn't come into it.


Is an absolute temperature scale always positive?

Yes, it is always positive. 0 K is the lowest temperature there can be.


Do bar graphs start at the number zero?

A bar graph's data doesn't always start with zero but the scale on the y axis should. If you are not going to start the scale with zero then you have to put a squiggly line at the bottom to show that you skipped this space.


How will you determine the sign of zero error in vernier callipers?

To determine the sign of zero error in vernier calipers, first close the jaws completely and check the reading on the main scale at the zero mark of the vernier scale. If the zero mark of the vernier scale is to the left of the main scale reading, it indicates a negative zero error; conversely, if it is to the right, it indicates a positive zero error. The magnitude of the error can be calculated as the difference between the two readings. Finally, this error should be accounted for in measurements taken with the calipers.


What is the zero on the Kelvin scale?

It is Absolute Zero. On the Kelvin scale there are no negative numbers...so therefore absolute zero on the kelvin scale is zero. All we might add is that absolute zero is --273.15 degrees C.


What do you understand by zero error of a measuring instrument?

It is a defect in a measuring device (Vernier Callipers & Screw Gauge) & zero error is caused by an incorrect position of the zero point.


What temperature scale includes absolute zero?

The Kelvin Scale contains absolute zero.


Absolute zero is zero on the?

Kelvin Scale.


What measurement scale has an absolute zero point?

The measurement scale that has an absolute zero point is the Kelvin scale for temperature. This means that zero Kelvin represents a complete absence of thermal energy.


Where on the vernier caliper would you read to obtain the main scale reading?

The main scale is before the zero line of the vernier scale.


Zero are always considered significant digits when they are to the left of the decimal point as in 0.032?

No, a leading zero is NEVER a significant digit.


A temperature scale based on absolute zero?

The Kelvin scale is based on absolute zero, the temperature at which all molecular motion ceases. Absolute zero is defined as 0 Kelvin (0 K), which is equal to -273.15 degrees Celsius. On the Kelvin scale, temperatures are always positive and directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance.
