: Introducing the Physics Quantities, Unit, and its Measurement

Learning Guide

1.

Read the text below (you can also use another references about physics quantities).

2.

Clarification the text comprehension.

3.

Observing and measuring object in the classroom and its unit.

4.

Classifying the fundamental quantities and derived quantities in the box

5.

Conclusion by completing the last chart.

1. Read the text

In the physic there are two common terms to define the quantities.

Fundamental

quantities

are

the basic quantities which can be

measured such as: length, mass,
time, temperature, light intensity,
amount

of

electric

current.

volume (multiplication of length

and

square),

speed

(distance

divided by time), force (mass

times acceleration), etc.
Fundamental quantities are conventionally established by the International
Conference on Weight and Measurement (SI). Each quantity has its unit, for example length
in meter, mass in kilogram, time in

second, temperature

in Kelvin, amount of substance in

mol, light intensity in Candela,
electric current in ampere. Other quantities are
derived from these fundamental quantities, such as volume, density, velocity, force, work and
many others which are called the derived quantities.
