EXPERIMENT 104: INDIRECT MEASUREMENT Flashcards
Process of obtaining the physical quantity of an object from measurements made by direct methods of measurement of other quantities connected to the physical properties of the object being described
INDIRECT MEASUREMENT
Essential tool in finding indirectly the physical quantities of an object
EQUATIONS OR FORMULAS
Common physical quantities that can be measured indirectly
AREA, VOLUME, MASS DENSITY AND NUMERICAL VALUE OF PI
Determining the final and initial level of the rise in water before and after putting the metal block
VOLUME DISPLACEMENT METHOD
Mass density formula
mass/ volume from the equation
numerical value of pi formula
circumference/ diameter
percentage difference
((EV1 - EV2)/ ((EV1 + EV2)/2)) X 100
percentage error
(|EV1 - SV|/(SV) ) X 100
