Direct measurement is when an object or something can be directly measured, meaning that you can actually pick it up and measure the sides (such as a box) Something that wouldn't be classified to be directly measured is something like a rock, where you need to use Indirect measurement to measure it, like dropping a rock in a container with water, and see how much the water rises.

Is temperature a form of direct measurement or in direct measurement?
It is indirect measurement. A thermometer, for example, measures the expansion of an appropriate fluid - alcohol or mercury. Some instruments (thermocouples) measure the differential expansions of metal strips
What are different types of linear measurement?
there are two types linears measurements 1)direct 2) indirect
What is the X-Y operation of the oscilloscope?
The CRT display becomes an electronic graph of two instantaneous voltages. The display may be a direct comparision of two voltages such as during phase measurement, or frequency measurement with Lissajous waveforms.
Why is direct variation important?
Because it is a very common form of mathematical relationships, for example, in very many conversions from one measurement unit to another.
List measurement to the smallest measurement to the largest measurement?
the smallest measurement in the us
What is the definition and example of direct measurement?
direct measurement is when you get the answer to your data straight from the experiment rather than calculating numbers in order to receive your answer in the end.
What is the difference between direct and indirect measurement?
Direct is an exact measurement and indirect is an estimate.

What is the difference between direct and indirect measurement in surveying?
Direct Measurement: Apply the instrument directly to the unknown quantity. E.g. Taped distance, direction measured with a theodolite Indirect Measurement: Determined from its relationship to direct measurements. E.g. height difference determination in trigonometric leveling
When is the indirect method appropriate and what are the benefits of using it?
Indirect measurement is a technique that uses proportions to find a measurement when direct measurement is not possible.
Is power a direct measurement?
no so screw off
What are two units of measure for volume?
direct measurement and displacement
Examples of direct measurement in surveying?
angles can be measured directly
What kind of measurement do you need to take a photograph of a speeding bullet?
It's not a measurement- it's a high speed camera.Indirect MeasurementActually, it is a measurement to catch a photogragh of a bullet. It would be direct measurement to be precise.
What is a direct messurement?
A measurement realized directly with an instrument, not by the intermediate of calculus.
What do voltmeters test?
Voltmeters provide a direct, difference of potential measurement or test.
An object's inertia is measured by measuring its what?
An objects mass is a direct measurement of its inertia.
