Measurement Form 4 KSSM

This document summarizes key concepts about physical quantities and measurement units. It discusses base quantities like length, mass, and time that cannot be derived from other quantities. It also describes derived quantities that can be expressed in terms of base quantities, like velocity which is derived from length and time. Finally, it provides examples of scalar quantities that only have magnitude and vector quantities that have both magnitude and direction.
