What is measurement? Measurement Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education A measurement is a comparison between an unknown quantity and a standard. Measurements quantify observations. Careful measurements enable you to derive the relationship between any two quantities. Compile a list of quantities you might measure during your study of physics.

Comparing Results Measurement Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Measurements are often reported with uncertainty. A new measurement that is within the margin of uncertainty confirms the old measurement. For example, the ranges for the measurements of Student 1 and Student 2 overlap.

Precision Versus Accuracy Measurement Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Precision is the degrees of exactness of a measurement. Accuracy describes how well the results of a measurement agree the accepted value. PrecisePreciseImprecise AccurateInaccurateInaccurate

Precision Versus Accuracy Measurement Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Concepts in Motion

Techniques of Good Measurement To assure precision and accuracy, instruments used to make measurements need to be used correctly. Scales should be read with one’s eye straight in front of the measure. If the scale is read from an angle, as shown in figure (b), you will get a different, and less accurate, value.
