IB Physics Skills: Accuracy

The video tutorial covers IB Physics skills focusing on the accuracy of primary data. It explains accuracy as the closeness of experimental results to the true value, using Robin Hood's archery as an analogy. Systematic errors, which are consistent and reproducible errors, are discussed with examples. Methods to improve accuracy include calibration, correct instrument use, and reducing background noise. The video also highlights the importance of resolution and provides an example of exam questions related to accuracy.
