Study Notes

Measurement Fundamentals

Every measurement consists of two parts: a numerical value and a unit of measurement.
A coherent system of units is one in which the units of measurement for different physical quantities are related to each other in a consistent manner, as in the SI system.

Physical Quantities

The numerical value of a physical quantity expresses its magnitude or amount.
The equation Q = nu represents the relationship between a physical quantity (Q) and its numerical value (n) and unit of measurement (u).

Physical Quantity Relationships

For a physical quantity, the relationship between n1u1 and n2u2 is one of equivalence, where n1u1 = n2u2.
