Which science scale only works in certain situations?

arbitrary scale


What measure temperature?

The basic unit is a Kelvin but it is common to use a degree Celsius. The Kelvin scale is absolute whereas the zero point on the Celsius scale is arbitrary.


Why do we need to us the kelvin scale when working with gases?

Because differences (or changes) in temperatures need to be measured on an absolute scale not a scale with its zero at an arbitrary point.

What is the level of measurement for year of birth?

It is an interval scale. It is not a ratio scale, the next higher level, because the zero is arbitrary and not unique from one calendar to another.

What continues the Fujita Pearson tornado scale?

If you mean to ask what follows the Fujita-Pearson scale is the Enhanced Fujita or EF scale. It provides essentially the same ratings, but with more accurate wind estimates and more detailed, less arbitrary damage descriptions.


What is the level of measurement where each number can be thought of as a distance measured from zero?

In general, the level of measurement is on an interval scale (temperature in deg C or F) because the zero point is arbitrary. However, if the zero is unique and non-arbitrary, then it is a ratio scale (temperature in Kelvin).


What is a sentence for Arbitrary?

These are our output. But it is Arbitrary.


Can you use arbitrary in a sentence?

The rules were completely arbitrary.


What measurment is measured in kelvins or degrees celsius?

Kelvin is a measure of temperature or thermodynamic energy, and is an absolute measure. Degrees Celsius are a used to measure temperature on a scale with an arbitrary zero.
