Measurement of Length

  • Rulers measure small distances (cm) to the nearest millimetre.
  • Tape measures measure lengths of tens of centimetres.
  • Trundle wheels measure lengths of tens of metres.
  • For small objects, measure multiple (e.g., 4 ball-bearings) and divide by the number to find one dimension.

Measurement of Volume

  • Measuring cylinders measure the volume of liquids directly.
  • The volume of an irregular solid is found by the displacement method: measure the change in liquid volume.
  • Read the bottom of the meniscus at eye level for accuracy.

Measurement of Time

  • Stop-clocks and stopwatches measure time intervals.
  • Human reaction time (≈0.25 s) can cause significant error for short intervals.
  • To reduce uncertainty, measure the time for multiple oscillations (e.g., 10 swings) and divide by the number.
  • Use a fiducial marker (e.g., a line at equilibrium) to improve timing accuracy.

Multiple Readings & Accuracy

  • Taking multiple readings reduces the impact of random errors.
  • Example: measure thickness of 100 sheets of paper, then divide by 100 for average thickness of one sheet.
  • Two measurements are considered equal within experimental accuracy if they differ by less than 10%.

Scalars & Vectors

  • Scalar quantities have magnitude only (e.g., mass, distance, speed, energy).
  • Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction (e.g., weight, displacement, velocity, force).
  • Distance is the total path length (scalar); displacement is the straight‑line distance from start to finish (vector).
  • Speed is distance per unit time (scalar); velocity is displacement per unit time (vector).
  • An object can have constant speed but changing velocity if it changes direction.

Examples of Scalars & Vectors

  • Scalars: distance, speed, mass, energy, volume, density, temperature, power.
  • Vectors: displacement, velocity, weight, force, acceleration, momentum.
  • Mass is a scalar; weight is a vector (force due to gravity).
  • Mass does not change with location; weight depends on gravitational field strength.
