BASE QUANTITIES AND DERIVED QUANTITIES

Base quantity
Definition: A base quantity is a physical quantity
that cannot defined in terms of other physical
quantities.

Derived quantity
A Derived quantity is a physical derived
from base quantities by multiplication or
division or both.
Scalar Quantity and Vector Quantity

quantity
which has
both

Velocity






Example 1
1) How many centimeters are there in 25.00
meters?

Solution
The metric unit conversation:
1m=100cm
25m=25m X 100cm/1m
=25m X 100cm/1m
= 2500cm










LINEAR MOTION

LINEAR MOTION IS MOTION OF AN
OBJECT IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR
PATH.IT CAN BE CATEGORIZED INTO
UNIFORM MOTION AND NON-LINEAR
MOTION.

UNIFORM MOTION AND NON- LINEAR

AND
NON-LINEAR
MOTION IS

FORCE
o Force is a PUSH or a PULL.It is a Vector
Quantity with the unit Newton(N).
o Force also defined as anything that
changes the state of rest or motion of an
object moving in a straight line.
