Study Notes
CDS/CAPF 2025 Physics Lecture - Unit and Measurement -2
- The lecture covers topics related to units and measurements, as part of the CDS/CAPF 2025 physics syllabus.
- Topics include: quantities (राशियाँ), distance, displacement, velocity, acceleration, dimensional formulas and nomenclature (नामकरण).
Fundamental Units
- Length (L) - unit is meter (m)
- Mass (M) - unit is kilogram (kg)
- Time (T) - unit is second (s)
Derived Units
- Speed - unit is meters per second (m/s)
- Acceleration - unit is meters per second squared (m/s²)
- Force - unit is Newton (N) = kg⋅m/s²
Other Units
- Angle - unit is degree (°), radian (rad) conversion (180° = π rad), and 1 rad = 180°/π = 57.3°
- Amount of substance - unit is mole (mol)
- Luminous intensity - unit is candela (cd)
- Electric current - unit is ampere (A)
- Temperature - unit is Kelvin (K)
- Luminous intensity - unit is candela (cd)
Systems of Units
- FPS (Foot, Pound, Second)
- CGS (Centimeter–gram–second)
- MKS (Meter, Kilogram, Second)
- SI (Système International)
Scalar and Vector Quantities
- Scalar quantities have only magnitude (e.g., mass, speed, distance).
- Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction (e.g., velocity, acceleration, displacement).
Vector Representation
- Vectors are shown using arrows where the length of the arrow represents the magnitude and the arrowhead indicates the direction.
- Vector addition follows the triangle law.
- The resultant of two vectors can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.
Unit Vectors
- Unit vectors have a magnitude of 1
- A vector can be written as the product of its magnitude and unit vector in the direction of the vector.
- Unit vectors along x, y and z axis are î, ĵ and k̂ respectively.
Kinematic and Dynamic Quantities
- Kinematic quantities (like displacement, velocity, acceleration) describe motion without considering the cause of the motion
- Dynamic quantities (like force, momentum, energy) describe motion and the causes of the motion.
Kinematic Concepts
- Distance and displacement
- Speed and velocity
- Acceleration
- Examples related to these concepts are covered
Other Concepts
- Topics on different types of quantities include scalar, vector, tensor
- Different laws are introduced to help calculate the quantities, such as the triangle rule, Kirchhoff's Current Law, Kirchhoff's Voltage Law.
- Examples of these quantities in physics calculations are included.
Problems/Calculations
- Examples and solved problems illustrating the concepts are presented
- Practical applications and examples on calculations are given.
