Introduction In physics we must distinguish between vector quantities and scalar quantities. Vectors are quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity’s magnitude. Although a vector has magnitude and direction‚ it does not have position. That is‚ as long as its length is not changed‚ a vector is not altered if it is displaced parallel to itself. In contrast

Introduction Wrong or inaccurate measurements can lead to wrong decisions‚ which can have serious consequences‚ costing money and even lives. The human and financial consequences of wrong decisions based on poor measurement being taken in matters as important as environmental change and pollution are almost incalculable. It is important therefore to have reliable and accurate measurements which are agreed and accepted by the relevant authorities worldwide. Metrologists are therefore continuously

We continue to fulfill that plan‚ keeping life stable and predictable. Keeping life certain. I have learned that life itself is a dive into uncertainty and no matter how far you try to run away from life‚ it will catch up ( as what has happened to my relatives)‚ so I have embrace uncertainty‚ and even though at times it

Kathryn Marchessault Physics Lab LR Tuesday 8-9:55 Due 02/26/15 Experiment #1 Free Fall Experiment Abstract In this experiment we studied the motion of an object in free fall‚ that is an object being dropped from a certain height to Earth’s surface. In this experiment we tested the idea that no matter what the size‚ shape‚ color‚ etc. of the object if it would still experience the same constant acceleration throughout its fall (short distance). The constant downward acceleration it experiences

Experimental Errors and Uncertainty No physical quantity can be measured with perfect certainty; there are always errors in any measurement. This means that if we measure some quantity and‚ then‚ repeat the measurement‚ we will almost certainly measure a different value the second time. How‚ then‚ can we know the “true” value of a physical quantity? The short answer is that we can’t. However‚ as we take greater care in our measurements and apply ever more refined experimental methods‚ we can reduce

Vernier calipers were used to get these measurements by clamping the cylinder between the jaws of the calipers. By looking at the mark of the zero‚ in relation to the main scale‚ the line best lined up with a line from the main scale was taken down. Getting
