Section 1

(19 cards)

independent variable

Front

variable changed in an experiment (x-axis)

Back

time (t)

Front

second (s)

Back

no relationship

Front

y=b

Back

accuracy

Front

how close a measurement is to the true value

Back

square relationship

Front

y∝x^2 (y=mx^2+b)

Back

variables

Front

physical quantities that can be changed in an experiment

Back

square root relationship

Front

y∝x^.5 (y=mx^.5+b)

Back

direct relationship

Front

y∝x (y=mx+b)

Back

random error

Front

errors of measurement that tend to cancel each other out in the averaging process (large numbers are compensated for smaller numbers)

Back

mass (m)

Front

kilogram (kg)

Back

length (l)

Front

meter (m)

Back

control variable

Front

variables that are held constant

Back

physical quantity

Front

something that can be measured

Back

proportionality

Front

indicates 2 quantities are related in a linear manner

Back

systematic error

Front

errors that aren't random and an averaging process will not correct; errors will consistently be high or low

Back

dependent variable

Front

variable that responds to a change of the independent (y-axis)

Back

inverse relationship

Front

y∝1/x (y=m1/x+b)

Back

precision

Front

the exactness of a measurement (when making a measurement, include all known and 1 estimate)

Back

units of measure

Front

used to describe physical properties
