PPT-Topic 1: Measurement and uncertainties

12 Uncertainties and errors Essential idea Scientists aim towards designing experiments that can give a true value from their measurements but due to the limited precision in measuring devices they often quote their results with some form of uncertainty. Phys. Accuracy and Precision. The . accuracy. of a measurement tells you how close the measurement is to the “true” or accepted value. . The . precision. of a measurement tells you something about the . Problem Solving class 1 for Physics 1A and Higher Physics 1A. What are problem solving classes?. These form a bridge between lecture material, labs and the exam.. In some problem solving classes you will be introduced to material covered in the lab part of the course.. Rrs. ) and output ocean color data:. a brief review. Stéphane. . Maritorena. – ERI/UCSB. Uncertainties in output products. Ideally, the uncertainties associated with ocean color products should be determined through comparisons with in situ measurements (matchups). Aims. To be able to calculate the percentage uncertainty of a measurement. To be able to combine these uncertainties to evaluate the overall uncertainty in a derived result. A Speed camera takes two images of a moving car and works out speed by calculating distance/time. How do you think this image would help somebody appeal their fine in court?. A Practical Guide.
