• A physical quantity is a quantity that can be measured.

• A physical quantity can be divided into base quantity and derived quantity.

• Base quantities are the quantities that cannot be defined in term of

other physical quantity.
• Take note that, the unit of temperature is Kelvin but not Celsius.
• The 5 base quantities and its units are as in the table below:

• A derived quantity is a Physics quantity that

is not a base quantity. It is the quantities
which derived from the base quantities
through multiplying and/or dividing them.
• For example, speed is defined as the rate of
change of distance, Mathematically, we write
this as Speed = Distance/Time. Both distance
and time are base quantities, whereas speed is
a derived quantity as it is derived from
distance and time through division.
