Motion in a plane

Motion in a Plane is the Motion in two dimensions that requires a two-coordinate system, such as an X-Y coordinate system. An instance of such movement is in the path of a projectile or circular motion. A common example of motion in a plane is that of projectile motion. In terms of physics, an object […]

Mean Deviation; Standard Deviation

The two most essential subjects in statistics are variance and standard deviation. It is a measurement of statistical data dispersion. The degree to which values in a distribution deviate from the average of the distribution is known as dispersion. We have many measures like Range, Quartile Deviation, Mean Deviation and Standard Deviation. The process of

Information on Dimensions of Physical Quantities

Measurement basics should be reviewed before getting into dimensions and dimensional equations. Seven fundamental (base) quantities may be used to express all physical values from the dimensions of the physical quantities list. These include mass, length, time, temperature, electric current, luminance, and the amount of material. These seven quantities make up the seven dimensions of

Getting To Know More On Physical And Chemical Changes

CHANGE Change is a process in which the initial and the final properties of a matter differ from each other. During a change, the difference is so specific that it can be measured by using various techniques.  The revolution of earth, twinkling of stars, ripening of fruits, metabolism of body, motion of a vehicle, formation

Frames of Reference

A frame of reference is made up of an abstract coordinate system and a set of physical reference points that are used to fix the coordinate system and standardise measurements within the frame of reference. It is necessary to have a reference point in order to determine the change in position of an object. A

Dimensional Analysis and its Principle, Limitations

The method of determining the dimensions and units of measurement of physical quantities is known as dimensional analysis.  Dimensional analysis is an excellent method for ensuring that equations are dimensionally correct. We can also utilise dimensional analysis to build credible equations if the quantities are known. It can be used to quantify the size and

Dimensional Analysis and its Application

Dimensional analysis is the relationship between physical quantities using dimensions and measuring units. Dimensional analysis and its application are crucial because they make no changes in the units, which allows us to do mathematical operations more smoothly. It considers lengths, angles and geometrical qualities, such as flat and straight. The fundamental and derived quantities principle

What is Error Analysis and Significant Figures?

Error analysis is a method of discussing the possible errors that have been encountered in physical measurements. It consists of tabulating the source of error to the observed magnitude. It allows us to determine whether our analysis is valid. An estimated error, in mathematics, has precision attached to it since a measurement unit used helps

What are Accuracy and Precision?

Precision and accuracy are indicators of the error of observation alongside uncertainties. Accuracy refers to how close or distant the measurements are from their actual value, and precision measures how close or dispersed measurements are or define the closeness of the measured value. In science, the precision of measuring systems is defined as the degree
