The definition of the joule is based on more general principles. The calorie is defined by properties specific to water.

How can a very precise measurement be inaccurate?

A typical situation would be when there is a zero error.For example, almost all rulers have a little distance before the zero-mark. Suppose you measure the length of some object repeatedly using the end of the rules rather than the zero-mark. If, otherwise you are very careful to read off the result (for example, perpendicularly so that there is no parallax) you could end up with several measures which are exactly - or very nearly - the same. That is precision. But every one of those measures will be wrong - by the length before the zero-mark on the ruler. And that is the inaccuracy.


How can loading effect affect voltage measurement in a circuit?

Suppose you have two 100 kilo Ohm resistors in series across a 12 volt supply.The expected and actual voltage at their junction is 6 volts. Now measure the voltage across one resistor with a Voltmeter. The instrument must take a little power to move the meter needle or be taken by the digital circuitry. If the input resistance of the voltmeter is 100 Kilo Ohms then it will make that resistor under test appear to be 50 Kilo Ohms. The voltage across the resistor drops to 4 Volts. This is the loading effect of the voltmeter.

Suppose an impulse is applied to an object. What can you assume?

If an impulse is applied to an object, it can assumed that there will be a change in the object's momentum. This change in momentum will depend on the magnitude and direction of the impulse applied.

Why do you suppose there is not just one system of measurement?

Because the need for measurement is universal and it developed in different ways in primitive cultures. It is only later, with interregional, and then international trade that there was a need for a single system.

When you make a measurement which digit in the measurement is the estimated digit?

It depends on what kind of measurement you are making, but it would generally be the digit farthest to the right. For example, if you have good eyes and a good ruler, and you are measuring something in millimeters, you can estimate tenths of a millimeter. Suppose the length of a rectangle is between 74 and 75 mm. Look closely between the millimeter marks on the ruler. Suppose the end of the rectangle is about a third of the way from the 74 to the 75, then you good estimate that the length is 74.3 mm. The digit you estimated is the last one, the 3.

What is meant by a mas measurement expressed in this form4.6g 0.2 g?

The first number (4.6g) represents the measured quantity, while the second number (0.2g) indicates the precision or uncertainty of the measurement. It means that the actual value is within ±0.1g of the measured value (in this case 4.6g), so the true value lies somewhere between 4.5g and 4.7g.
