Precision vs Accuracy

What is precision?


Precision indicates how close together or how
repeatable the results are. A precise measuring
instrument will give very nearly the same result each
time it is used.
What is accuracy?

Accuracy indicates how close a measurement is to
the accepted value. For example, we'd expect a
balance to read 100.00 grams if we placed a
standard100.00 g weight on the balance. If it does not,
then the balance is inaccurate.
MEASUREMENTS
1.
Which of the
following is
more precise?
Why?
The first one is
more precise
because it
measures in
smaller
intervals.

A student measured the length of a piece of
string that was 64.34 cm long. Her
measurements were 64.32 cm, 64.34 cm, 64.35
cm, and 64.34 cm. Which of the following
statements is true?
 The measurements were accurate but not
precise.
 The measurements were precise but not
accurate.
 The measurements were both precise and
accurate.
 The measurements were neither accurate nor
precise.

Energy
can never be

can only be turned into
another form.
Electricity

A circuit is a continuous loop that
provides a pathway for electricity to
travel through. There are 2 types:

Open circuits: an open circuit is a circuit
that has a break in it.
• An open circuit is said to be ‘turned off.’

Closed circuits: a closed circuit has no
breaks in it and therefore the electrical
current is flowing in a closed circuit.
• A closed circuit is said to be ‘turned on.’
Electricity
Battery
Switch
Resistor
Electricity
In a series circuit there is
only one path for the current.
If a light burns out in a series
circuit all the lights will go out.
In a parallel circuit the
current can flow in more
than one path. If a light
burns out in a parallel
circuit the others will not
go out.

How much current
would be measured in
the circuit below if
each resistor had a
resistance of 5 ohms?
I=V/R
I= 6v/ 2* 5 Ω
I= 0.6 amps
Heat Transfer
Three
mechanisms for heat
transfer
• Conduction
• Convection
• Radiation
Heat transfer

Conduction – heat transfer by direct contact of
particles EX.- Spoon in hot cup of coffee

Convection – transfer of heat by bulk movement
of fluid and gases EX- radiator, sea breeze

Radiation – heat transfer in the form of waves
EX.- Light, microwaves, radio waves, x-rays
Thermal Energy
is
the total energy of
the particles in a
material – both kinetic
and potential
Greenhouse effect

The greenhouse effect is the warming of Earth
due to carbon dioxide and other gases in the
atmosphere. Warming occurs as sunlight strikes
the Earth. Much of the sunlight is reflected back
into space. But Earth's atmosphere absorbs much
of the heat and slows its escape from Earth. In
this way, the Earth is like a greenhouse. The
atmosphere encloses the Earth just as panes of
glass enclose a greenhouse.
transverse
Transverse Waves
Transverse wave: has its oscillations
perpendicular to the direction of the
wave. The wave moves left to right
and the oscillation moves up and
down
 Ocean waves are transverse waves

longitudinal
Longitudinal Wave
Longitudinal wave: has oscillations in
the same direction the wave moves.
 Sound is a longitudinal wave

Parts of a Transverse Wave

What are the parts of a
transverse waves?

Crest
• The highest point of a wave
CREST

Trough
• The lowest point of a wave
REST POSITION
TROUGH

Rest Position
• The resting position from
which other things are
measured
Speed
Speed describes how fast the wave
moves
 Speed is frequency (f) times
wavelength (l)

v  fl
Speed (m/sec)
Wavelength (m)
Frequency (hz)
Reflection: bounce off
and goes in a new
direction.
 Refraction: bends as it
crosses the edge

Ripple Tank

Diffraction: bends as it
goes around a corner or
through an opening

Absorption: amplitude gets
smaller and smaller as it
passes through the
material
Tacoma
Resonance



Resonance occurs when a force exerted
on an object exactly matches the natural
frequency of the object
When resonance occurs only a small
force is needed to get a large response.
If you shake a string at the right
frequency, if makes a big wave motion.
If your frequency is not just right, the
string will not make a wave pattern at all
