Prayer What is Physical Quantities? What are some examples of derived physical quantities, and how are they different from base quantities? What is the difference between a scalar and a vector quantity? Give examples of each. What is the difference between accuracy and precision in measurements? What are some common sources of random error in physical measurements? What is a random error, and how does it differ from a systematic error? Assignment: In your own words, state in what ways do instruments affect measurement?
