Sir M. H. Ansari: 1. Physical Quantities and Units Prefixes

1. This document discusses various physical quantities and measurement techniques. It covers topics like units and prefixes, vectors, kinematics, dynamics, waves, electricity, and circuits. 2. For calculations involving quantities with uncertainties, the absolute uncertainties are added for addition/subtraction and the fractional uncertainties are added for multiplication/division. Exponent operations multiply the fractional uncertainty by the exponent. 3. Key equations of motion are presented for uniformly accelerated and projectile motion. Dynamics principles like conservation of momentum and elastic collisions are also outlined.
