Measurement
 A process of determining how large or
small a physical quantity is as compared
to a basic reference quantity of the same
kind.
 The process of associating numbers with
physical quantities and phenomena.
 It is fundamental to the sciences; to
engineering, construction, and other
technical fields; and to almost all
everyday activities.
Physical
Quantity
Is a quantity that can be measured. It
consists of a numerical magnitude and a
unit.
25 m
MAGNITUDE UNIT
It can be classified as Base Quantity and
Derived Quantity
Base Quantity
Is a quantity that cannot be expressed in
terms of other physical quantities.
In order to work with a consistent and
coherent measurement system, Système
International d’Unitès or SI Units is used.
Derived
Quantity
Are quantities obtained from a combination
of various base quantities and their units are
determined from the relation between the
base quantities and derived quantities.
Derived
Quantity
Are quantities obtained from a combination
of various base quantities and their units are
determined from the relation between the
base quantities and derived quantities.
Density
Prefixes
Are terms added before the units to indicate
smaller or larger values. This is to avoid
writing too many zeroes that may give rise to
human error.

Units

Conversion of
Units
If the physical quantity is not in the SI unit, it
can be converted to SI unit using conversion
factor.

numbers with a numerical representation in the
form of:

Scientific
Notation
For Example
How to express the following in the correct scientific notation?
a. 123456 m
b. 0.00123456 g
Steps:
1. Determine if the value is more or less than
1. If less than 1, its exponent is negative. If
it's more than 1, the exponent is positive.
2. If it is positive, move the decimal point to
the LEFT to until the coefficient becomes 1-
9 in value. If it is negative, move the
decimal point to the RIGHT.
3. Count the number of places you move the
decimal point. This number is the exponent.
123456 m = 1.23456 x 105
m
0.00123456 g = 1.23456 x 10-3

Scientific
Notation
For Example
How to express the following scientific notation into numbers?
a. 6.987 x 103
kg
b. 9.2938 x 10-5
m/s2
Steps:
1. If the exponent is positive,
move the decimal to the
RIGHT by the number of the
exponent. If the exponent is
negative, move to the LEFT
by the number of exponent.
6.987 X 103
kg = 6987 kg
9.2938 x 10-5
m/s2
= 0.000092938 m/s2
Operations on Scientific Notation
Addition and Subtraction
Step 1: Rewrite the numbers so that they all have the same power of ten by moving
the decimal place of coefficient with the smaller exponent.
Step 2: Add or subtract the numbers. Copy the power of ten.
Step 3: Rewrite the sentence in a scientific notation.
Example: 5.3×106
+11.2×107
Multiplication and Division
Step 1: Multiply or Divide the coefficient
Step 2: For multiplication, add the exponents. For division, subtract the exponent.
Step 3: Rewrite the sentence in a scientific notation.
Example:
Significant

or values to present more accurate data.

Accuracy and
Precision
Accuracy is how close a given set of measurements (observations or
readings) are to their true value, while precision is how close the
measurements are to each other.
Uncertaintie
s
0

Uncertainty
These are measurements of physical quantities that tends to have mistakes
or errors from its true value due to various factors.
This can be caused by Systematic Errors or Random Errors
Systematic Error Random Error
Are due to the measuring
device being biased in some
way so that it reads consistently
high or low. It can be
Instrumental, personal and
external errors
Are due to the experimental or
inherent difficulty in taking
accurate measurements

This means,
220 cm + 5 = 225 cm
220 cm – 5 = 215 cm

How to get Percent of Uncertainty?
220 5 cm
Solution,
x 100 = 2.27%
Written as,
220 cm 2.27%
Sample
Problem
The correct value of the measurement is between 200ml and 230ml. Find the percent
uncertainty of the measurement and write the value correctly.
Step 1 Determine the correct value and the number of uncertainty
= 215 ml 215ml – 200ml = 15
230ml – 215ml = 15
Step 2 Calculate the Percent Uncertainty
x 100 = 6.98%
Step 3 Write the correct value of the measurement
215 ml 6.98%
Estimating Uncertainties of Multiple
Measurement using Variance
Step 1 Take the MEAN of the values
Mean = = = 12.34
Step 2 Take the deviations of the values from the mean
