Random error can be reduced by taking the average of several readings * Human reaction error and parallax error Systematic error * The reading is larger or smaller than the true reading by a constant amount. * Causes are zero error, wrong calibration, and faulty instrument Systematic error can’t be minimized by taking several readings and finding average 03135171820 ‘Yameen Jadoon 6 2.

More random errors mean less precise Accuracy If the measured value is close to a true value, then it is accurate. If we have more readings for a single measurement, then we compare the mean with the true value. If the difference between the mean and true value is small, then more accurate.

Leptons strong force/interaction does not act on hadrons. SS Leptons are fundamental particles Examples Electrons, neutrino, anti-neutrino © 2. Hadrons & strong force/interaction acts on hadrons. Hadrons are not fundamental particles theyage mate up of quarks Examples. Proton, neutron. @ Hadrons are further divided into 2B gasses Baryon they consist on thr FRE.
