    1. This document discusses physical quantities which can be measured in physics. It defines physical quantity as a quantity that can be measured or calculated on an object or phenomenon. 2. Physical quantities have units of measurement and can be either base quantities like length, mass, and time or derived quantities obtained by combining base quantities. Examples of derived quantities are area, volume, speed and acceleration. 3. The document distinguishes between scalar and vector quantities, with scalar quantities only having magnitude and vector quantities having both magnitude and direction. Distance is a scalar quantity while displacement is a vector quantity.

    1 PHYSICAL QUANTITIES
    In early civilizations, man
    used simple observations
    like the position of stars
    and the occurrence of day
    and night to tell time.
    The earliest instruments used for measuring time were the
    sundial, the hourglass and the water clock
    Other than time, these ancient people
    realised the importance of measuring
    lengths or distances in their daily lives.
    Which taste better?

    canai?

    Can we measure taste? Can we measure beauty?


    What is the boy’s
    There is thing than can be measured and cannot be
    temperature?
    measured.
    37⁰C?
    There is thing that can be measured ie temperature and cannot
    be measured ie taste and beauty.

    PHYSICAL QUANTITY is a quantity


    that can be measured or calculated
    on an object or phenomena

    observation and taking
    measurements.

    What does the speedometer indicate?

    It indicates the speed of the car is 80 km/hr

    How can we calculate the speed of the car?


    Use formula:
    Speed = distance = 80 km
    time 1 hr
    = 80 km/hr
    The physical quantity of speed is derived from 2
    base quantities: distance and time

    Speed is a DERIVED QUANTITY


    Length = 30.0 cm width = 22.0 cm thickness = 3.0 cm

    How can we determine the area dan volume of the book?

    Area = length x width


    = 30.0 cm x 22. 0 cm
    = 660 cm x cm = 660 cm2

    Volume = length x width x thickness


    = 30.0 cm x 22. 0 cm x 3.0 cm
    = 1980 cm x cm x cm
    = 1980 cm3 Area & Volume:
