PHYSICAL QUANTITIES• A physical quantity is quantity which can be
measured.For Example: length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, light intensity, volume and many others.• A physical quantity is always measured of natural
non-living objects.• Physical quantities have numerical magnitude and
unit.For Example: If the length of a student is 104cm, then 104 is its numerical magnitude and cm is the unit of measurement.

PHYSICAL QUANTITIES• The another example of physical quantity is that when
a grocer says that each sugar bag contains 5 kg, he is describing its numerical magnitude as well as the unit of measurement. It would be meaningless to state 5 or kg only.
• Physical quantities are of two types:1. BASE QUANTITIES2. DERIVED QUANTITIES

BASE QUANTITIES• Base quantities are the quantities on the basis of
which other quantities are expressed.• There are seven base quantities which include
length, mass, time, temperature, intensity of light and amount of a substance.

DERIVED QUANTITIES• Derived quantities are the quantities which are
expressed in terms of base quantities.• These include area, volume, speed, force, work,
energy, power, electric charge.

SI UNITS• SI Units- International System of Units
•What is unit?Once a standard is set for quantity then it can be expressed in terms of that standard quantity. This standard quantity is called a unit.
• The eleventh General Conference on Weight and Measures held in Paris in 1960 adopted a world-wide system of measurements called International System of Units. The International System of Units is referred as SI.

BASE UNITS AND DERIVED UNITS • The SI unit contains base units and derived units. BASE UNITS: The units that describe base quantities
are called base units.

BASE UNITS AND DERIVED UNITS
DERIVED UNITS:Derived units are the units used to measure derived quantities.

SI PREFIXES• Prefixes are the words or letters which we add to the
beginning of a word to make a new word.
• For example, the word ‘’unhappy” consists of the prefix “un” (which means not) combined with the stem word “unhappy” means “not happy”.
• SI units have advantage that their multiples and sub-multiples can be expressed in terms of prefixes.

SI PREFIXES
• Note that the kilogram is the only SI unit with a prefix as part of its name and symbol. Because multiple prefixes may not be used, in the case of the kilogram the prefix names are used with the unit name "gram" and the prefix symbols are used with the unit symbol "g." With this exception, any SI prefix may be used with any SI unit, including the degree Celsius and its symbol °C.

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
• Scientific notation is a way to write large or small numbers with some power of ten.• Scientific notation has a number of useful properties
and is commonly used in calculators, by scientists, mathematicians and engineers.• For example, a number 62750 can be expressed as
62.758*103 or 6.275*104 or 0.6275*105. All these are correct but the number that has one non-zero digit before the decimal e.g.6.275*104 preferable be taken as a standard form. Similarly the standard form of 0.00045 s is 4.5*10-4 s.
