physics precision and accuracy

precision

depends on instrument and technique used to make the measurement

More decimal places

more precision

More sig digits

more precise 1

Accuracy

how well the measurement lines up with the “real” value

Explain any type of GPS

Shows you're at the school but not where you are (accurate area, but not a specific spot) 

what does parallax effect

parallax affects accuracy, becuase it doesent affect the measuring tool therefore it cannot effect precision

Dependent Variable

y axis

indpendent variable 

x - axis 

Linear Relationship

Straight Line (y=mx+b) 

Quadratic Relationship (nonlinear) 

parabola 

y= mx²

inverse

y= 1/x

linear graph

Parabolic (Quadratic) 

nonilinear graph

Parabolic (Quadratic) 

Inverse 

describe what the bulyseye anaylsis shows about accuracy and precision

shows that accuracy means hitting near the center, and precision means hitting the same spot every time, even if it's not the center.
