Characteristics that a scientific measuring tool should have

Physics
1 answer:
bixtya [17]2 years ago

Answer:

RELIBILITY - is the consistency of your measurement, or the degree to which an

instrument measures the same way each time it is used under the same condition with the

same subjects. In short, it is the repeatability of your measurement. A measure is considered

reliable if a person's score on the same test given twice is similar. It is important to

remember that reliability is not measured, it is estimated. A good instrument will produce

consistent scores. An instrument’s reliability is estimated using a correlation coefficient of

one type or another.

VALIDITY

VALIDITY - Validity is the extent to which a test measures what it claims to measure. It is

vital for a test to be valid in order for the results to be accurately applied and interpreted.

Validity isn’t determined by a single statistic, but by a body of research that demonstrates

the relationship between the test and the behavior it is intended to measure. There are three

types of validity: It is the strength of our conclusions, inferences or propositions. More

formally, Cook and Campbell (1979) define it as the "best available approximation to the

truth or falsity of a given inference, proposition or conclusion."

PRACTICIBILITY

PRACTICIBILITY - It should be feasible & usable. Quality of being usable in context to the

objective to be achieved.

USABILITY

USABILITY(practicality) ease in administration, scoring, interpretation and application, low

cost, proper mechanical make – up

MEASUREABILITY

MEASUREABILITY - It should measure the objective to be achieved.

A) A 12 kg object has a velocity of 37.5 m/s. What is its momentum?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The answer would be 450 m kg/s

Explanation/ Explanation / Example:

Provided an object traveled 500 meters in 3 minutes , to calculate the average velocity you should take the following steps: Change minutes into seconds (so that the final result would be in meters per second). 3 minutes = 3 * 60 = 180 seconds , Divide the distance by time: velocity = 500 / 180 = 2.77 m/s .

7. Which quantity is the transfer of energy?<br> force<br> motion<br> work
Arisa [49]

In this exercise we have to know the definition of energy to understand what is transferred to a body, like this:

Work

<h2>What is energy?</h2>

Despite being used in many different contexts, the scientific use of the word energy has a well-defined and precise meaning: Innate potential to perform work or perform an action. Anything that is working, moving another object, or heating it up, for example, is expending (transferring) energy.

With this definition we can say that the only alternative that responds to this is work.
