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.
