    Abstract Measurements are all subject to error which leads to the uncertainty of the result. Errors may come from systematic errors (deterministic error) or random error (not deterministic error). In this experiment‚ the group measured the diameter of sphere using different kinds of measuring devices (foot rule‚ vernier caliper‚ and micrometer caliper) in order to achieve accuracy in the scientific measurements. After experimenting‚ it was revealed that the micrometer caliper has the lowest percentage

    Experiment 1: ErrorsUncertainties and Measurements Laboratory Report Abstract The success of an experiment greatly depends on how the group is able to execute it and how precise and accurate their results are. In this matter‚ errors and uncertainties in measurements are of great factor. In this experiment‚ the group was able to classify the causes of such errors and which measuring device is more precise and accurate than the other. These were obtained by measuring the diameter of an iron sphere

    Measurement and Uncertainty When recording data‚ each entry should be given a corresponding estimated error‚ or uncertainty. The uncertainty gives the reader an idea of the precision and accuracy of your measurements. Use the following method for finding the uncertainty associated with any measuring device used in lab. First‚ find the least count‚ or the smallest printed increment‚ of the measuring device. On the meter sticks‚ the least count is 1 mm. On the double pan balances‚ the least count

Murphy Grand Canyon University: Physics 1 Lab September 5‚ 2013 Testable Question: Circular objects; what happens to the circumference as the diameter changes? Hypothesis: As the diameter increases‚ the circumference will increase in a proportional linear way. This is because as the diameter increase‚ the object will as well. Variables: Independent- The diameter of the circular objects. Dependent- The circumference of the
