Study Notes
Fundamental Quantities
- Fundamental quantities are quantities that can be measured independently of other quantities.
- Fundamental quantities are also known as base quantities.
- There are seven fundamental quantities. They are length, mass, time, electric current, temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity.
SI unit of Mass
- kilogram (kg) is the SI unit of mass
Measuring the thickness of a piece of paper
- Micrometer screw gauge is the suitable instrument to measure the thickness of a piece of paper.
- A micrometer screw gauge has higher precision than a ruler.
Derived Quantities
- Derived quantities are quantities that can be expressed in terms of fundamental quantities
- Examples of derived quantities include:
- Area
- Volume
- Density
- Speed
- Acceleration
- Force
- Work
- Power
SI unit of Force
- The SI unit of force is the newton (N)
- One newton is the force required to give a mass of 1 kg an acceleration of 1 m/s².
Recording Time In Experiments
- A stopwatch is suggested for recording time in laboratory experiments.
- A stopwatch is more accurate than a clock.
Micrometer Screw Gauge
- It has two major parts:
- The thimble
- The barrel
