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.
