AS Level Physics: Terms & Definitions:- Measurement Random errors are errors of measurements that result in a scatter of readings about a mean value. Systematic errors are errors of measurement which occur according to some fixed patterns such that they consistently give out an over-estimation or under-estimation of the true value. Accuracy is a measure of how close the results of an experiment agree with the true value. Precision is a measure of how close the results of an experiment

Humans seek to understand the world in which they live in: its physical and non-physical aspects‚ if I may oversimplify the categories the world can be divided into. This need in man is natural and can be described as an impulse that has driven man through the generations and steered evolvement into the areas of breakthrough. To understand a thing originates from the thoughts of a thing: thoughts of what‚ why‚ when‚ where and how‚ and thoughts of beyond the what‚ the why‚ the when‚ the where and

Physics began when man first started to study his surroundings. Early applications of physics include the invention of the wheel and of primitive weapons. The people who built Stone Henge had knowledge of physical mechanics in order to move the rocks and place them on top of each other. It was not until during the period of Greek culture that the first systematic treatment of physics started with the use of mechanics. Thales is often said to have been the first scientist‚ and the first Greek philosopher
