Units of measurement

How was Avogadro’s number determined? What are the evidence of international co-operation and evidences used to support the value of Avogadro’s hypothesis (numer)? What is a hypothesis? It is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon, which can be described as ‘provisional'. However, a hypothesis cannot be identified as a prediction; it is a priority for it to allow people to make predictions of experiments that can be tested. If the results from this experiment are coherent with the prediction…

In the field of economics, there are many measurements that attempt to quantify the economic wellbeing of an area. Many of which are used like a scorecard in order to try to improve upon itself. However, these measurements, as well as they quantify variable data, they are not without their shortcoming on how they gather their data. Indicators such as unemployment rate, inflation and GDP are vulnerable to misrepresenting the economic climate through issues revolving around how their information…

given for calculation. A paper tape measure consisted on units of centimeters and approximation to the nearest tenth could have limited the exercise. The best method was picking the closest centimeter measurement visibly possible for the diameter and circumference by wrapping the paper tape measure around the circles. The worst method would be using a ruler or meter stick. The only improvements that could be made is the use of smaller units to minimize uncertainty. Report Question: Wood The…

Elekta Synergy S linear accelerator (LINAC) was used to produce the 6, 10, and 15MV photon beams for measurements. The accelerator is fitted with the new Agility multileaf collimators (MLC) thinner than the previously used MLC’s to improve a field definition (Kantz et al. 2015; Thompson et al. 2014). The quality assurance was carried out monthly to ensure the LINAC response does not vary from the commissioning data (CPQR 2013). The LINAC has been calibrated to 100 cGy/MU at Dmax for a 10×10 cm2…

11a, lab 1: Motion, Measurement and Statistics In the first lab we will investigate the motion of a ball rolling down an inclined plane. We will use this simple system to investigate the concept of systematic and random measurement uncertainties to understand how much we can trust a measurement. We will then compare the experimental outcome with theory. I. Ball on an inclined plane: Measuring motion We want to measure the motion of a ball that rolls down on an inclined plane…

realm of inquiry. Quantitative data is information obtained through measurement and relayed via numerical form (Smith, 2015). Qualitative data are usually displayed through descriptions, rather than numbers, and is therefore more difficult to measure or analyze than quantitative…

J. Connolly et.al [28] also propose a wearable rehab technology for automatic measurement of patients with arthritis. They put forward the ideas surrounding the development of an accurate hand measuring tool to assist medical clinicians and rheumatologists in the accurate measurement of finger and thumb movement of the human hand. Angle measuring instruments, tape measure and grip strength dynamometer are used to assess the joint range and function of a patient to determine their hand function.…

Aim The aim of this practical is to measure the effect of volume, density and temperature. It is also help to be familiar with variety of common laboratory technique. Materials Weighting scale Container with lids 20 and 10 ml Volumetric pipette Beaker Thermometer Test Tubes Volumetric flask Natural Rubber Pipette Filler Micropipette tips Tips boxes Method There are two pipette, choose one which you using in whole practical. Label and weight accurately, to 4 decimal places. Collect…

Therefore, they should be considered together for the best result. However, if these factors are considered separately in measurement, reliability is more important that reliability. This is mainly due to the fact that when the measure of an aspect is reliable, it automatically becomes valid. If one gets consistent results then the measurements they get are both reliable and valid. In some cases data collected may be valid but not reliable. In such a case the results are useful in…
