Study Notes

Physical Quantities

Physical quantity is comparing quantities using a standard reference, measured in specific units.
Quantities are classified as fundamental (independent) or derived (dependent on fundamental quantities).

Scalar vs. Vector Quantities

Scalar quantities have only magnitude.
Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction.

Displacement and Velocity

Displacement considers the shortest path between points.
Velocity is speed in a specific direction.
Velocity = Displacement / Time

Acceleration

Acceleration = (change in velocity) / time
Calculate acceleration by subtracting the initial velocity from the final velocity and dividing by the time.

Force, Mass, and Acceleration

Force = Mass x Acceleration

Density

Density = Mass / Volume

Unit Conversions

To convert grams to kilograms, divide by 1000.
