Study Notes

Physical Quantities Classification

  • Base (Fundamental) Quantities include: Mass, Time, Distance, Temperature.
  • Derived Quantities include: Area, Density, Acceleration, Volume, Velocity.

SI Units of Physical Quantities

  • Mass: SI unit is kg; Other units include g, mg, cg, µg, ng, ton.
  • Area: SI unit is m²; Other units include cm², mm², km², mile², ft², in².
  • Density: SI unit is kg/m³; Other units include g/cm³, g/ml, kg/ml, kg/L.
  • Time: SI unit is s; Other units include hour, minute, month, year.
  • Acceleration: SI unit is m/s²; Other units include cm/s², km/s².
  • Distance: SI unit is m; Other units include km, cm, mm, µm, nm, ft, in, mile.
  • Temperature: SI unit is K; Other units include °C, °F.

Unit Conversions

  • Average mass of a ship: 67,000 tons = 67,000,000 kg = 6.7 x 10⁷ kg.
  • Distance from Sohar port to Sultan Qaboos Port Muscat: 245 km = 245,000 m = 2.45 x 10⁵ m; 24,500 cm = 2.45 x 10⁶ cm; 245,000 mm = 2.45 x 10⁸ mm.

Age Conversion

  • Age expressed in approximate units (convert based on personal age):
    • Days: Age in years × 365 = scientific notation format.
    • Seconds: Days × 86,400 = scientific notation format.
    • Milliseconds: Seconds × 1,000 = scientific notation format.
    • Microseconds: Milliseconds × 1,000 = scientific notation format.

Earth Measurements

  • Distance from Earth’s center to surface: 6,400 km = 6,400,000 m = 6.4 x 10⁶ m; 640,000,000 cm = 6.4 x 10⁸ cm; 6,400,000,000 mm = 6.4 x 10⁹ mm.

Area Conversion

  • Area of rectangular iron sheet: 25 m² = 250,000 cm² = 2.5 x 10⁵ cm².

Volume Conversion

  • Volume of cylinder: 6.5 m³ = 6,500,000 cm³ = 6.5 x 10⁶ cm³.
  • Volume of engine oil: 65,385 cm³ = 0.065385 m³ = 6.5385 x 10⁻² m³.

Scientific Notation and Prefixes

  • Following conversions for identified physical quantities require completion in scientific notation:
    • 3,500 g = 3.5 x 10³ g.
    • 6,400,000 Pa = 6.4 x 10⁶ Pa.
    • 745,000 N = 7.45 x 10⁵ N.
    • 8,900,000,000 Hz = 8.9 x 10⁹ Hz.

Density Conversion

  • Density of diesel: 880 kg/m³ = 0.88 g/cm³ via conversion.
  • Density of seawater: 1.03 g/cm³ = 1,030 kg/m³ via conversion.

Time Calculations

  • Seconds in a year: 1 year = 31,536,000 seconds = 3.1536 x 10⁷ seconds.
  • Years in a second: 1 second = approximately 3.1688 x 10⁻⁸ years.
