Questions and Answers

What is the SI unit for Velocity?

meter per second (m/s)

Based on the table, deduce the formula for calculating density using fundamental quantities.

Density (ρ) = Mass (kg) / Volume (m³)

What are the symbols representing 'Speed' and 'Force' in the provided table?

While no symbols are explicitly provided in the table, we can infer that 'Speed' is typically represented by 'v' and 'Force' by 'F'.

Using the provided fundamental quantities, identify the derived quantities that involve a combination of mass and time.

Explain the concept of 'derived quantities' in your own words. Provide an example from the table to support your explanation.

<p>Derived quantities are physical quantities that are defined in terms of fundamental quantities. In contrast to fundamental quantities, which are considered basic and independent, derived quantities are combinations of these fundamental units. For example, 'Energy' in the table is a derived quantity as it's defined using fundamental quantities such as mass, length, and time.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Fundamental Physical Quantities

  • Fundamental quantities are the simplest physical quantities, independent of other quantities.
  • Derived quantities are formed from combinations of fundamental quantities.

Fundamental Quantities and Their Units

  • Mass (kilogram, kg)
  • Time (second, s)
  • Electric Current (ampere, A)
  • Amount of substance (mole, mol)
  • Thermodynamic Temperature (kelvin, K)
  • Luminous Intensity (candela, cd)

Derived Quantities and Their Units

  • Displacement (meter, m)
  • Area (meter² , m²)
  • Volume (meter³, m³)
  • Speed (meter/second, m/s)
