Study Notes
Units and Measurements in Physics
- Mass is the parameter used to calculate the weight of an object.
- Temperature is measured in Kelvin.
- The unit of acceleration in S.I. is expressed as m/s².
- In the C.G.S. system, the unit of force is the dyne.
- Kilogram metre per second square is the unit for work.
- The unit of work can be represented as Newton-metre (also known as Joule).
- A plane angle is measured in radians.
- In a measurement like "3 metres," the number 3 represents the magnitude.
- A requirement for standard units includes being universally accepted, well-defined, and consistent, but not fixed with time and place.
- The unit of a physical quantity is what is used to express that quantity.
- A physical quantity can be quantified or computed.
- Fundamental quantities are those which can be measured directly.
- Fundamental quantities do not rely on other physical quantities for their measurement.
- Speed is not considered a fundamental quantity; it is derived from distance and time.
- Momentum represents a fundamental physical quantity, along with mass, length, and time.
- A derived quantity depends on fundamental quantities for its measurement, such as velocity (distance/time).
- Understanding both fundamental and derived units is essential for measuring complex physical phenomena.
