Clues

  • A measure of a measurement's resolution. All numbers except zero are counted as a significant figure. When zeros are found immediately after a decimal place, they too are counted. (11, 7)
  • A method of finding the resultant force of two forces. The two forces are joined tip to tail and the result is then the vector that completes the triangle (8, 2, 6)
  • A quantity that has both magnitude and an associated direction. Examples include velocity, displacement and acceleration (6, 10)
  • A quantity that only has a magnitude, without an associated direction. Examples include speed, distance and temperature (6, 10)
  • Causes all readings to differ from the true value by a fixed amount. Systematic error cannot be corrected by repeat readings, instead a different technique or apparatus should be used (10, 6)
  • Measuring apparatus such as rulers, beakers and thermometers that rely on the experimenter reading off a scale to determine the measurement (8, 9)
  • The splitting of a force into its horizontal and vertical components (10, 2, 6)
  • The variable being measured in an experiment. It is dependant on the independent variable. The dependant variable should be plotted on the y-axis of a graph. (9, 9)
  • The variable that is changed by the experimenter in an experiment. The independent variable should be plotted on the x-axis of a graph. (11, 9)
  • Variables that must remain the same throughout an experiment so as to not affect the results (7, 9)
