AS Level Physics: Terms & Definitions:- Measurement Random errors are errors of measurements that result in a scatter of readings about a mean value. Systematic errors are errors of measurement which occur according to some fixed patterns such that they consistently give out an over-estimation or under-estimation of the true value. Accuracy is a measure of how close the results of an experiment agree with the true value. Precision is a measure of how close the results of an experiment

The Physics of Rainbows As we are coming down to the final weeks of winter‚ the days are getting longer‚ and it is slowing starting to warm up. We are all looking forward to springtime‚ with its promises of flowers and rain. Along with this rain brings reminders of rainbows. As Donald Ahrens says in the Meteorology Today magazine‚ “rainbows are one of the most spectacular light shows observed on earth (About).” In fact‚ one of the best ways to view a rainbow at it’s utmost

PHYSICS WORK SHEET - 2 CLASS – IX LESSON : MOTION 1. Analyze the following situation and answer the following questions. A circular track has a circumference of 3140m with AB as one of its diameter. A man riding a scooter moves from A to B along the circular path with a uniform speed of 10 m/s. a) Distance covered by the man b) Displacement of the man c) Time taken by the man in reaching from A to B. 2. A car starting from rest moves with a uniform acceleration of 0.1 m/s2 for 2 minutes. Find the

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

I started vacuuming‚ that took me at least 2 hours because I ended up vacuuming the entire house. I was sooo tired when I finished‚ I had 6 hours left before Jennifer Lawrence arrived‚ what should I do to impress her? I mean besides talking about physics? I decided I’d make some coffee for the two of us‚ while all of this happens I remember that the A/C turns on every 30 minutes for 30 minutes‚ so it is on for 12 hours a day‚ then I remember to wash my dishes‚ so I put them in the dishwasher‚ which

The Ballistic Pendulum Crime Lab Physics You are a criminologist‚ and have been given a gun which has been used in the commission of a crime. Both prosecution and defense claim that "muzzle velocity" (speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun) is crucial to the case. Your job...FIND IT! Shown below is a diagram representing a "ballistic pendulum." The bullet is fired into the block‚ the bullet-block combination rises by a height h as shown‚ a little physics is applied‚ and ...voila!...there
