    This document contains a worksheet with 10 questions related to units, dimensions, and vectors in physics. The questions cover topics such as [1] applications of physics in daily life, [2] reasons for measurement, [3] creating a table with sample objects and their dimensions, [4] why human body parts were rejected as standard units, [5] why different units are needed for the same physical quantity, [6] measuring an object and converting units, [7] examples of physical quantities with and without units and dimensions, [8] examples of scalar and vector quantities, [9] calculating the resultant force of two forces acting on an object, and [10] finding the area of a triangle using vector products.

    Lesson 1 : Units, Dimensions And Vectors
    Worksheet - 1

    Q1.The scope of physics is very wide. It covers a vast variety of Natural Phenomena. Observe
    your surroundings and explain one application of physics in day to day life.
    Q2. Observe your surroundings and mention any five reasons why you need to measure.
    Q3. Pick any five objects from your surroundings of different matter and dimensions. Make a
    table as below with suitable units:
    Name of the Object Length/Breath/Height Weight/Area/Volume Dimensional Formula
    Matchbox 5cm/ 3cm/ 2cm 25 g/ -/ 30cm3 L3

    Q4.In ancient time when there was no standard system of measurement. Human body parts were
    used as units for measurement.

    Explain in your own words why human body parts rejected as units for measurement.
    Q5. For measurement, each physical quantity is assigned SI unit such that meter for Distance. It
    can be converted in different units by keeping prefix for power of ten. For example
    10-2meter = centimeter and 103 meter = Kilometer and so on. Explain why do we need
    different units for the same physical quantity?
    Q.6.Pick any object from home or school and measure it by suitable scale. After measuring
    convert the measured units into three different units of that quantity.
    Q7. Give an example of:
    a) A physical quantity which has neither unit nor dimensions.
    b) A physical quantity which has a unit but no dimensions.

    c) A constant which has no unit.


    d) A constant which has a unit.
    Q8.Mention 3 scalar quantities and 3 vector quantities from surroundings. Write your comments
    why scalar quantities are different than vector quantities and also comment why we need
    vectors?
    Q9. Push your study table in a certain direction with a force of magnitude say 10N. At the same
    time ask your mother, sister or brother to push the same table with a force of magnitude say
    15N. Calculate the magnitude of the resultant force on study table and its direction when
    forces are acting in same direction and when forces are acting in opposite direction to each
    other.
    Q10. Find the area of the triangle whose vertices are A(3, - 1, 2), B(1, - 1, - 3) and C(4, - 3, 1)
    using suitable vector product.
