💡 Key Idea

What is a Physical Quantity?

The foundation of all physics.

A physical quantity is any property of a material or system that can be *measured* and expressed in numbers. It has a numerical value and a unit. For example, length, mass, time, and temperature are all physical quantities because they can be quantified.

↳ If it can be measured and given a number with a unit, it's a physical quantity.

📖 Definition

Measurement: Comparing with a Standard

The process behind every number.

Measurement is the process of comparing an unknown physical quantity with a known standard quantity of the same kind, called a unit. The result of a measurement is always a number followed by the unit used.

↳ Measurement is a comparison against a fixed, known standard (unit).

💡 Key Idea

Fundamental vs. Derived Quantities

The building blocks and their combinations.

Physical quantities are classified into two main types. Fundamental (base) quantities are independent and cannot be defined in terms of other quantities. Derived quantities are obtained by mathematical combinations (multiplication, division) of fundamental quantities.

↳ Fundamental quantities stand alone; derived quantities are built from them.
