Best Answer

A Zero Reading can mean a multitude of things depending on the context. In a velocity reading a Zero Reading would indicate no overall movement. Example, if a runner ran from point A to point B continuously this would be a Zero velocity Reading.

What does mean zero error reading of vernier calipers?

The scale doesn't start at zero, so you need to compromise or you get a systematic error.


Is the temperature reading of zero on the Celsius equal to absolute zero?

No. Absolute zero is -273 degrees celsius. A reading of zero celsius is the freezing point of water.

When digital caliper jaws are closed the reading without a part must read?

When the digital caliper jaws are closed without a part, the reading should be zero. This ensures that accurate measurements start from a baseline of zero before taking any measurements. If the reading is not zero when the jaws are closed, it may indicate a need for calibration or adjustment.


What would be the magnitude and direction of acceleration which would make the balance reading zero?

In physics, if the balance reading is zero then the magnitude and direction of acceleration would also be zero. There can be no movement or force if everything is balanced.


If a vernier caliper has zero reading of 0.025 cm and the caliper reads 5.565 cm what should be the correct reading?

If a vernier caliper has zero reading of 0.025 cm and the caliper reads 5.565 cm what should be the correct reading? 5.565 - 0.025 = 5.54 so caliper reads 5.54 cm If the zero reading on the vernier calipers is -0.025 cm with the reading still 5.565cm, it is 5.565 - (-0.025) = 5.565 + 0.025 = 5.59 cm


How do you find zero error of screw gauge?

Take a measurement with nothing in the gauge. That reading is the zero-error.


What is zero error in physics?

Zero error is defined as the condition where a measuring instrument registers a reading when there should not be any reading. In case of Vernier calipers it occurs when a zero on main scale does not coincide with a zero on Vernier scale. Source: calculatored and written by Shaun Murphy

What does it mean to 'tare a balance'?

To tare the balance is when, for example, you place a beaker on the balance and then click on the tear button which puts the balance back to zero. This putting the balance back to zero is called "tareing the balance".
