Some Topics to know in advance

Topic-01

World/Universe: Place where we are, whatever we feel through

our five senses or whatever exits beyond our imagination from the
universe/ world.

World

Psychological World Physical World

Psychological World: Psychological world consists of our mind,

emotions, feelings, love and affection, joys and sorrows etc.

 But Physics does not discuss psychological world

Physical World: Soil, water, air, the Moon, the Sun, the tiny
molecules of matter, planets and the stars etc. are constituents of
Physical world.
In a word anything that exists except the content of the
psychological word is part of the physical world.

 The physical world consists of 4 elements.

These are: 1. Space
2. Time
3. Mass
4. Energy
Quantity: In this physical world whatever can be measured is called
a Quantity

Quantity

Fundamental Quantities Derived Quantities

Fundamental Quantities: The quantities which are not depended

on other quantities rather other quantities depend on them are
called Fundamental Quantities.
 The units of fundamental quantities are fundamental units
 There are 7 fundamental quantities

Quantities Notation S.I. Unit Notations Dimensions

s of Units
1. Mass m Kilogram Kg [M]
2. Length l Meter m [L]
3. Time t Second s [T]
4. Temperature θ,T Kelvin K [Θ]
5. Electric Current I Ampere A [A]
6. Luminous intensity Iv Candela cd [J]
7. Amount of substances n mole mol [N]

Derived Quantities: The quantities which are depended on

fundamental quantities or can be derived from the fundamental
quantities or can be derived from the multiplication or division of
one or more fundamental quantities are called derived/compound
quantities
  The units of derived quantities are derived units

13. Resistance R= Ω(ohm) [ML2T-3I-2]

Topic-02
Dimension: The dimension of a physical quantity is the powers
raised to fundamental units in order to obtain the derived unit of
that physical quantity.
 Dimension must be written in 3rd bracket.

Example:
Force = Mass × Acceleration
Change of Velocity
= Mass × TIme
 Displacaement
= Mass × (Time)
2

= [M ×
= [MLT-2]
It is customary to express dimension of length by L, dimension of
mass by M and dimension of time by T. So, putting these we get the
dimension of force or [MLT-2]
That is, in force we have (1) dimension of mass, (1) dimension of
length and (-2) dimension of time.
So, the dimension of force is [MLT-2]

What is proportional and inversely proportional?

Proportionality: If the relationship between two quantities or

variables where they increase or decrease at the same rate then the
relation is called proportionality and the two quantities will be
proportional to each other.
For example, If X and Y are proportional to each other, we denote
these as X ∝ Y.
X ∝ Y means if X increases/decreases then Y increases/decreases at
the same rate.
Inverse proportionality: If the relationship between two
quantities or variables where the value of one quantity increases
with respect to the decrease in other quantity or decreases with
respect to the increase in other quantity then the relation is called
Inverse proportionality and two quantities will be inversely
proportional to each other.
For example, If X and Y are inversely proportional to each other, we
1
denote these as X ∝ Y .
1
X∝ Y means if X increases then Y decreases at the same rate. And if
X decreases then Y increases at the same rate.

 Sakib Sir’s Special Tricks:

Proportional: If the result of division of two quantities is constant,

then the quantities are proportional to each other.
Inverse proportional: If the result of multiplication of two
quantities is constant, then the quantities are inversely proportional
to each other.
