    This document discusses physical quantities, units of measurement, and methods for measuring different physical quantities. It defines physical quantity as something that can be measured with a numerical magnitude and unit. It introduces the SI units as the international standard units and distinguishes between scalar and vector quantities. It then provides examples of measuring length, discusses common errors in measurement, and outlines proper techniques. It also briefly discusses measuring and calculating volume and density before listing some past year questions.

    Chapter 1

    Physical Quantity
    • Physical quantity is a quantity that can be measured.
    • It consists of a numerical magnitude and a unit
    • Examples
    Distance = 100 m
    Force = 20 N
    SI Unit
    • SI unit is standard international unit for base quantities
    Scalar and Vector quantities
    • Scalar quantity – has magnitude only
    • Example: Distance, volume, speed, time, work, pressure,energy etc

    • Vector quantity- has both magnitude and direction


    • Example: Displacement, velocity, acceleration, force (and weight),
    moment, momentum, gravitational field strength and electric field
    strength.
    Length
    • Methods used to measure length: Measuring tape, Metre ruler

    Type of errors when taking measurements


    1. Parallax error
    False reading due to improper eye position
    2. Zero error
    False reading given by a measuring system when the true value of a measured
    quantity is zero
    3. Reaction time error
    Error due to delay in starting and stopping a stopwatch
    Taking measurement correctly
    Volume
    • For regular objects, volume can be measured by using water
    displacement method or can be calculated using equation for
    volume
    • For irregular objects, volumes can be measured by using
    water displacement method only. (use measuring cylinder)
    • For objects that float, use displacement method. (use a
    sinker so that the floating object fully immersed)
    Density
