Satria ardinata lesson 1.1 1.1 units and measurement a physical quantity is identified its unit of measurement.

we will use the SI system of units in this course. The unit of length is the meter (m) The unit of mass is the kilogram (kg) The unit of time is the second (s) Units of length, mass, and time are called The fundamental units of measurement. The units of all other physical quantities Can be obtained by suitably combining These fundamental units. Meter (m) is the unit of length The following is a summary of units for measuring Small and large length as part of a meter or Combination of a meter.

Similar measures are used for Measuring small and big masses. Area, volume, speed, density are examples Of physical quantities that have units that Are derived from the fundamental units. Units of such quantities are called derived units.

Satria ardinata The unit of area is m2 and the unit of volume is m3

The units of speed is

and we write it as : ms-1

The unit of density is kg/m3 and we write it as : kgm-3
