Summary Measurements
 If you measure quantity is need a unit.
 Unit is standard of size quantity that to be measured to found a scale marked.
 Basic quantities are measure in physic that based on fundamental in unit.
 Kind of basic quantities are length, mass, time, temperature, electric current,
moles, light intensity.
 Derived quantities are measurement can be derived from basic quantities.
 Kind of derived quantities are area, speed, acceleration, density, volume, force,
pressure, and many more.
 System International unit (SI unit) is standard system that used in many
countries by decision of scientist.
 Standard notation is writing number by changing multiply power of ten or the
symbol is 10n
 Significant figures is the number of figures that show standard notation of
number that giving a digit
 Length has unit meter (m), length is used for measure distance travelled and
length of an object.
 Area has unit meter square (m2) is used for measure wide an object room.
 Volume has unit cubic meter (m3) is used for measure the amount of liquid or
amount of space occupied
 Mass has unit kilogram (kg) is used for measure the amount of matter it.
 Time has unit second (s) is used for measure length of a day, the time of taken
in earth rotation and revolution.
 Systematic error is the error introduce that has zero at the end of the rule.
 Vernier scale has type to measure an object to 0.01 cm or 0.1 mm
 Micrometer screw gauge has type to measure an object to 0.001 cm or 0.001
mm
