Physics measurements and units
Physics is a natural science that deals with the study of matter, energy, and their interactions. In order to quantify and measure various physical properties, scientists have established a system of units, known as the International System of Units (SI)
The SI system includes seven base units, which are:
- Length - meter (m)
- Mass - kilogram (kg)
- Time - second (s)
- Electric current - ampere (A)
- Temperature - Kelvin (K)
- Amount of substance - mole (mol)
- Luminous intensity - candela (cd)
These base units can be combined to form derived units, such as:
- Area - square meter (m²)
- Volume - cubic meter (m³)
- Velocity - meters per second (m/s)
- Acceleration - meters per second squared (m/s²)
- Force - Newton (N)
- Energy - Joule (J)
- Power - Watt (W)
- Pressure - Pascal (Pa)
- Length - meter (m)
- Mass - kilogram (kg)
- Time - second (s)
- Electric current - ampere (A)
- Temperature - Kelvin (K)
- Amount of substance - mole (mol)
- Luminous intensity - candela (cd)
These base units can be combined to form derived units, such as:
- Area - square meter (m²)
- Volume - cubic meter (m³)
- Velocity - meters per second (m/s)
- Acceleration - meters per second squared (m/s²)
- Force - Newton (N)
- Energy - Joule (J)
- Power - Watt (W)
- Pressure - Pascal (Pa)
