Force and Pressure are the two important concepts of physics which are often erroneously interchanged by the people. But, these two are not same at all, as there is a vast difference between force and pressure, which you are going to understand only if you learn about them. Do you ever observe, what makes a football move? Or What makes a drawer open? This is because we apply force on the object. Force is nothing but the push or pull, which changes the state of motion or direction of the … [Read more...]
Difference Between Speed and Velocity
Have you ever wondered, why different objects travel the same distance, taking different amounts of time? This is because some objects are faster than others. You can calculate the rate of motion of a body, by determining the distance covered by an object in a given interval of time, i.e. speed. The term 'speed' is often misconstrued with the 'velocity', because of having similar applications. However, these two are very different concepts of motion, in physics. Velocity measures the distance … [Read more...]
Difference Between Rotation and Revolution
The motion along a curved path is termed as circular motion, like the orbital motion of planets, ice skater, blades of the fan, gears, amusement park rides, etc. The two fundamental concepts which are studied in circular motion are rotation and revolution. While rotation means the movement in a circle round an axis, revolution is when an object moves in a circular path around another object or center. Many people often misinterpret these two concepts as they think that these two are same. But … [Read more...]
Difference Between Rows and Columns
When data is collected, in bulk and assembled by the researcher, then the next step to the data preparation process is to arrange it in a concise and logical manner, called tabulation. It is a set of facts and figures which are presented in an organised way in rows and columns. While rows are meant to run horizontally, columns are drawn vertically. People often misconstrue rows for columns, as they are used in the matrix, spreadsheets and classroom settings too, for the purpose of bifurcating … [Read more...]
Difference Between Accuracy and Precision
To a layperson accuracy and precision are synonyms, but to a person involved in measurement, these two convey different meanings. While accuracy is 'the state of being correct', precision is 'the state of being exact', people commonly misconstrue the two terms. Accuracy symbolizes the extent of conformity, whereas Precision indicates the extent of reproducibility. At the time of taking measurements, these two are always taken into account, due to their utmost importance in the various … [Read more...]
Difference Between Data and Information
Research process starts with the collection of data, which plays a significant role in the statistical analysis. We quite commonly use the term 'data' in the different context. However, in general, it indicates the facts or statistics gathered by the researcher for analysis in their original form. When the data is processed and transformed in such a way that it becomes useful to the users, it is known as 'information'. While data is an unsystematic fact or detail about something, information … [Read more...]
Difference Between Traditional Commerce and e-Commerce
Gone are the days when the commercial activities like the exchange of goods and services for money, between parties, takes place only in the traditional mode, i.e. the customer has to go to the market, look at the variety of products, choose the required stuff and the purchasing them by paying the specified amount. But with the advent of e-Commerce, people can buy goods, pay bills, or transfer money in just one click. Many people, still prefer traditional commerce over e-Commerce, due to … [Read more...]
Difference Between Ordinary Resolution and Special Resolution
An ordinary resolution is refers to a resolution, passed by the members of the company by a bare majority. A special resolution, on the other hand, is the resolution, that is affirmed by the members of the company by three-fourth majority. In a company, the items of business to be transacted at a GM (General Meeting), are presented as motions. The 'motion' refers to a proposal put forward, for discussion and adoption at the meeting. If the motion is approved unanimously, by the members … [Read more...]
Difference Between Area and Volume
As you can see, there are many objects around us, have certain area or volume, though we do not recognise it. While the area is the region covered by the closed plane figure, the volume is the amount of space occupied by an object. The measurement of area is done in suqare metres, whereas the measurement of volume is done in cubic metres. The terms area and volume are two important concepts of mensurations have a wide usage not only in mathematics but also in our day to day life. The article … [Read more...]
Difference Between Classification and Tabulation
The primary difference between classification and tabulation is that the process of classifying data int groups is known as classification of data, whereas tabulation is the act of presenting data in tabular form, for better interpretation. After the collection of data is completed, it is prepared for analysis. As the data is raw, it needs to be transformed in such a way, that it is appropriate for analysis. The form of data, highly influences the result of analysis and so, to get positive … [Read more...]
