The tities like length, mass, time, temperature, volume and density etc, which can be Teawured are known as physical quantities. ‘A physical quantity is represented by a number followed by # unit, The ‘number plus unit! is known as the ‘magnitude’ of the physical quantity PHYSICAL QUANTITIES ARE OF TWO TYPES: (i) Basic physical quantities, (ii) Derived physical quantities. BASIC PHYSICAL QUANTITIES: Physical quantity expressed in terms of standard units which are independent of each other are called Basic Physical Quantities. There are a total of 7 basic physical quantities. Length, mass, time, inten quantities of physics can be expressed in tefmns of these physical quantities. Basic Physical Qual are also Known as Fundamental ‘physical Quantities.

The triple point of water is temperature at which all the three phases of water (ice, liquid and water vapour) co-exist in dynamic equilibrium. The triple point of water hav been assigned a temperature of 273.16 kelvin. The Kelvin is 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the Triple Point of water. 6.

A body is said to be in motion (or moving) when its position changes continuousl with respect to a stationary object taken asa reference point. _ ‘The distance travelled by a body is the aci length of the path covered by a moving body respective of the direction in which the body travels, . When a body moves from one posi another, the shortest (straight line) distance between the initial position and final position of the body, along with direction, is known as its displacement A Nok . c ¢ When a body travels from A to B and tndeae the distance travelled = p + b and displacement = h Distance is a scalar quantity magnitude only) but displace: magnity because it has MOE direction. 8 UNIFORM MOTION A body has a ul equal distances in eq i how small these distance-time gra] for line.

The distance-time Bh for a body having non-uniform motion is a Nirved line. Non-Uniform accelerated motion, SPEED, VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION The motion of a body can be described by three terms: speed, velocity and acceleration SPEED ‘Speed of a body is the distance travelled by it per unit time motion is also called ncetravelled, Time taken! Speed = If a body travels a distance 's’ in time 't then its speed 'v is given by: ¥= | Where v = Speed s = Distance travelled {= Time taken (to travel that distance) ‘The SI unit of distance is metre (m) and that of time is second (s), therefore, the SI unit of speed js metres per second which is written as m/s or ms". __ Speed has magnitude only, it has no Specified direction, therefore, speed is a scalar quantity AVERAGE SPEED The average speed of a body is the total distance travelled divided by the total time te to cover this distance. Total distance travelled Average speed verse Total time taken UNIFORM SPEED (OR CONSTANT SPEED} A body has a uniform speed ifit travels equal distances in equal intervals of time. VELOCITY Velocity of a body is the distance travelled by it per unit time in a given direction. Velocity of a body is its speed in a specified direction. Velocity = Distance travelled in a given direction/Time taken ves/t v= velocity of the body 8 = distance travelled {in the giv direction) t = time taken (to travel that di tance) The unit of velocity is the same as thaeéf 1 % speed (m/s or ms") AS Velocity has magnitude as welasdirection.

A body has a uniform acceleration if its velocity changes at a uniform rate. Here are some examples of the uniformly accelerated motion () The motion of a freely falling body is an example of uniformly accelerated motion. The motion of a bicycle going down the slope of a road when the rider is not pedalling and wind resistance is negligible, is also an example of uniformly accelerated motion. The motion of a ball rolling down an inclined plane is an example of uniformly accelerated motion (ii) (i) A body has a non-uniform acceleration if its, velocity increases by unequal amounts in equal intervals of time. In other words, a body has non: uniform acceleration if its velocity changes at a non. uniform rate. RETARDATION (OR DECELE! NEGATIVE ACCELERATION) When the velocity of a moving object TION,
