Units created by combining base units, like m/s for speed.

A measure of how fast an object moves, expressed in m/s.

The principle that all terms in an equation must have the same dimensions.

The rate of change of velocity per unit time, measured in m/s².

Understanding units ensures accurate scientific measurements and communication.

Properties of physical systems that can be measured, like length and mass.

Quantities that have only magnitude, like mass or temperature.

Quantities that have both magnitude and direction, like velocity or displacement.

Standardized ways to express the magnitude of a quantity, e.g., meters or kilograms.

Fundamental qualities of a quantity that distinguish it from others, such as length or mass.

A technique to check the validity of equations by ensuring dimensions are consistent.

The seven standard units defined by the International System of Units, including meter and kilogram.

The requirement that equations must have matching dimensions on both sides to be valid.
