Measurement refers to the process of determining the magnitude of a physical quantity and expressing it in terms of a unit of measurement. It involves comparing the unknown quantity to a known standard to determine its size or value.
Measurement is the result of a measurement process and represents the numerical value obtained. It consists of a number and a unit of measurement, which together express the magnitude of the measured quantity.
Key differences:
- Process vs. Outcome: Measurement is the process, while measurement is the outcome. - Action vs. Result: Measurement involves an action of comparing, while measurement is the recorded result of that action. - Precision vs. Accuracy: Measurement is concerned with obtaining the closest possible value to the true value, while measurement is concerned with expressing the value with the correct number of significant figures and appropriate units.
Example:
- If we use a ruler to measure the length of a table, the measurement process involves reading the number of marked increments on the ruler that correspond to the length of the table. - The measurement obtained might be "75 centimeters" or "0.75 meters." This value represents the measured length of the table.
