All measurements are made by merely comparing the object to be measured with a known object which is called the standard , or reference.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Space is real, not an illusion. It is the physical expanse in which all celestial bodies exist, including planets, stars, and galaxies.
Cold is a relative state. It does exist, however and can be quantified and measured.
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.
Yes. They are merely rounded differently. 12.0cm is rounded to 1 decimal place, and is therefore more accurate.
If it to merely carry a chemical it is called a vial
The spelling is "Fahrenheit", an English temperature scale, while "Celsius" is the metric scale. The measurements are not "opposite", merely on a different scale.
"Feet" is merely the plural of the word "foot", therefore, the two measurements are identical - however, "900 feet" is grammatically correct.
Officially she is not. It is merely inertia and the media.
'Maths' is merely an abbreviated version of 'mathematics'.
it merely denotes first sergeant status
No, he merely decreased the acceleration of gravity using inclined planes so it was of a value that was easily measured.
I believe the books merely refer to it as "The Veil"....
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.
