Question
Briefly, explain the need for measurements.
✓
Answer
Measurement is needed for a precise description of any phenomenon happening in the world. For example, if a body is freely falling down to the ground, to understand this phenomenon we must know its velocity, time it will take to reach the ground, etc, and to get answers to all our questions we need a measurement.
