SOMETHING?
GENERAL PHYSICS 1
TOPIC: MEASUREMENTS
Measurement is the
quantification of attributes
of an object or event, which
can be used to compare
with other objects or
events.
GENERAL PHYSICS 1
PHYSICAL QUANTITY
Is a property of a material
or system that can be
quantified by
measurement
GENERAL PHYSICS 1
FUNDAMENTAL
PHYSICAL QUANTITY
are independent and do not
depend on other quantities
DERIVED PHYSICAL
QUANTITY
are can be expressed in terms of
fundamental physical quantities.
FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICAL
QUANTITY
mass length time
DERIVED PHYSICAL QUANTITY
area volume pressure force
FUNDAMENTAL
UNITS
Units for Fundamental or base quantities(like
length, time etc.)
EXAMPLES
LENGTH – meter (m)
Unit TIME – seconds (s)
A unit is an internationally accepted
standard value for measurements of DERIVED UNITS
quantities. The units of all other physical quantities can be
expressed as combinations of the base units.
EXAMPLES
SPEED – d/t (m/s)
FORCE – m*a (kgm/s2)

The SI, or metric system of units is the internationally
accepted system of units for measurement in all of the Electric current Ampere A or I
sciences, including physics.

The meter is the length of the
path travelled by light in
vacuum during a time interval
of 1/299792 458 of a second.
Length
Unit: Meter (m)
The kilogram is the unit of
mass; it is equal to the mass
of the international prototype
of the kilogram.
mass
Unit: Kilogram (kg)
The second is the duration of 9 192
631 770 periods of the radiation
corresponding to the transition
between the two hyperfine levels
of the ground state of the cesium
133 atom.
time
Unit: Seconds (s)
The ampere is that constant
current which is equal to 2 ×
10−7 Newton per meter of
length.
Electric current
Unit: Ampere (A)
The Kelvin, unit of
thermodynamic temperature, is
the fraction 1/273.16 of the
thermodynamic temperature of
the triple point of water.

U n i t : Ke l v i n ( K )
The candela is the luminous
intensity, in each direction, of a
source that emits monochromatic
radiation of frequency 540 × 1012
hertz and that has a radiant
intensity in that direction of 1/683
watt per steradian.
Luminous intensity
Unit: Candela (cd)
The mole is the amount of
substance as there are atoms
in 0.012 kilogram of carbon
12; its symbol is “mol.”
Amount of substance
Unit: mole (mol)
individual TASK
Choose one international
system of units (SI) and
explain how it help you /

The conversion of units is the conversion between
different units and measurements of the same
quantity done by the process of multiplication or
division.

just tags on numbers—
they’re the grammar that
gives every measurement
