    Study Notes

    Introduction to Physics

    • Physics is the study of nature and its fundamental laws involving matter and energy.
    • It's a natural science that relies on experiments, measurements, and mathematical analysis.
    • Physics aims to discover the laws that govern everything from the smallest particles to the vast universe.

    Physical Quantities

    • Physical quantities are measurable aspects of a phenomenon, described using numbers and units.
    • Two types of physical quantities: fundamental and derived quantities.

    Fundamental Quantities

    • These are basic quantities that are independent of other quantities.
    • They are defined with a standard unit of measurement.

    Derived Quantities

    • Derived quantities are based on and defined in terms of fundamental quantities.
    • Their units are derived by combining the units of fundamental quantities.
