AH Uncertainties

This is a presentation I gave on AH Uncertainties for the IoP. It was the end of term and that’s why I am nearly falling asleep. I had to update it as I had indeed taken the absolute and not fractional uncertainty in T to double for the uncertainty in T2. https://vimeo.com/470128824 The above file...

Week 2: The Maths Bit

Week 2: Significant Figures You will need to be able to use and understand significant figures in N5 Physics. Don’t worry if you don’t get it straight away, we’ve almost a year to get it right. The video I’ve found is clearer than I could do and sorry it is a bit long, but well...

Significant Figures

Watch the video below on significant figures. Figure 1: The red and brown is called a counting stick and can only measure to 10 cm. Figure 2: The top part of this metre stick can read to the nearest 1 cm, the bottom to the nearest mm. When Physicist use numbers it is usually because...
