Physical Quantities

 contains magnitude 量级 and unit

 can be measured

Base Quantities
Physical quantities that cannot be defined in terms of
other physical quantities.
 length, (m)
 mass, (kg)
 time, (s)
Derived Quantities
A physical quantity that is derived by a combination of
base quantities. Can be done by multiplication, division or
both.
 Area (m²)
 Volume (m³)
*other than based=derived
Scalar Quantities
 Physical quantity that has only magnitude
e.g. Distance, speed, time, mass, energy
Vector Quantities
 Physical quantity that has both magnitude and
direction
e.g. Displacement, velocity, weight, force
