What is position measured from in science?
In science, position is typically measured relative to a reference point or origin. This reference point is often defined by a coordinate system, such as Cartesian coordinates in geometry, that establishes a fixed point from which distances and directions are calculated.
Is force measure in joules?
No. Force is measured in Newtons. A joule is a unit of energy. However, if you are a Calculus Junkie, you can relate the two. There is a quantity called work which is measured in joules as well. It is merely defined as the change in potential energy. If you know calculus, Integrate force with respect to it's direction. That will give the function for work.
What is the name of the process in which liquid water turns into water vapour?
this process is called evaporation. it occurs when the bonds break, due to the average amount of energy, the temperature, going up enough to provide the latent heat of vaporisation. the latent heat of vaporisation is merely the name of the energy amount that it takes to break the bonds.
What is the difference between accuracy and precision and which one is more important to scientific measurement?
To be accurate is to be correct, for example, if you say it will rain tomorrow and it does rain tomorrow, then your prediction was accurate. Precision means to give a finely detailed measurement or observation, rather than an approximation. In the case of the weather prediction, a precise prediction might be on the order of, it will rain a total of 1.68 inches of rain, tomorrow. Such a prediction might or might not be accurate, but if it is, then it is also precise, much more precise than merely predicting that it will rain. Precision includes the concept of accuracy. An observation that is precise but inaccurate is useless; precision is only valuable when it is also accurate. Scientists cannot really choose between accuracy and precision since both are necessary for science to succeed, but accuracy is more fundamental. Something that is approximately correct is worth more than something that is very detailed, but wrong.
Is space real or merely an illusion?
Space is real, not an illusion. It is the physical expanse in which all celestial bodies exist, including planets, stars, and galaxies.
Does 'cold' actually exist or is it merely a lack of heat?
Cold is a relative state. It does exist, however and can be quantified and measured.
What can be measured in centigrams?
Anything with a mass can be measured in centigrams, as it is merely a unit used to measure mass. Centigrams are a small unit though, so smaller items would be more ideal.
Are the 12cm and 12.0cm the same measurements?
Yes. They are merely rounded differently. 12.0cm is rounded to 1 decimal place, and is therefore more accurate.
What is a plastic tube called that holds a substance?
If it to merely carry a chemical it is called a vial
How do you spell 'ferinhite' - the opposite of 'Celsius'?
The spelling is "Fahrenheit", an English temperature scale, while "Celsius" is the metric scale. The measurements are not "opposite", merely on a different scale.
900 feet equals to how many foot?
"Feet" is merely the plural of the word "foot", therefore, the two measurements are identical - however, "900 feet" is grammatically correct.
Why is kate still called Middleton?
Officially she is not. It is merely inertia and the media.
Why is mathematics also called maths?
'Maths' is merely an abbreviated version of 'mathematics'.
What is the diamond called of the 1SG rank?
it merely denotes first sergeant status
Did Galileo elimate the acceleration of a free fall using inclined planes?
No, he merely decreased the acceleration of gravity using inclined planes so it was of a value that was easily measured.
What is the archway that Sirius Black disappears into called?
I believe the books merely refer to it as "The Veil"....
What is measured in scientific notation?
Nothing is measured in scientific notation. Scientific notation is used merely to represent the result of some measurement - especially when that outcome is a very small or a very large number.
