A scalar is a single quantity giving an "amount" of something - it only has a magnitude. For example, temperature or energy are represented by a single value. On the other hand, a vector has bot...
We know that frequency is 1/time, thus the unit is Hz (equal to s^-1). To calculate the frequency value, we use the equation Frequency = Wavespeed (m/s) / Wavelength (m). (This also provides a checking an...
Taking multiple readings allows for errors (known as anomalous data points) to be spotted.For example if you were to take just one reading in an experiment and this was wrong, there would be no way of tel...
One such method is Stellar parallax. When observing stars in the night sky, stars which are further away from Earth appear to 'move' less across the sky as the earth rotates. Using this, stellar parallax ...
The displacement of the bob of mass m is given by the equation x(t)=A cos(w*t), with no phase offset as given by the boundary conditions (zero speed at t=0). By differentiating this equation twice the fir...
