Hello everyone. Welcome to the channel EduHub. I am your instructor Fahad Bin Islam with you in this
lecture. So let’s go.

Slide 2:

Basically Physical quantity is a feature of something. For Example Length, mass, distance etc.

Every physical quantity must have a numerical numerical value and a unit.

If we consider length of table then it may be 900 cm. or if you want to tell your weight to someone. Then
you must have to mention the value and the unit. Suppose your weight is 60 kg but instead of telling 60
kg, if you tell 60g then it will make huge difference.

So in a nutshell physical quantity is a feature of something and to expree, it must have a numerical value
and a unit

In scientific notation, a number is expressed as a one or two-digit multiplied by a power of ten. If we

consider 0.00067 in scientific notation it will express as 6.7*10^-4

Again if we consider the velocity of light, the value is 380000000 which is expreesed scientifically as
3.8*10^8

All non-zero digits are considered significant. For example, if we consider the number 34 then there are 2
significant figures which are 3 4. If we consider 36.245 then there a five significant figures which are 3 6 2
45

Every zero which comes between two non-zero digits are considered significant. For example if we
consider 200.067 then are are 6 significant figures which are 2 0 0 0 6 7

Zeros which apeares at the left side of a significant figure will not be considered as significant for
example if we consider 0.00078 then there are only two significant figures which are 7 and 8

Now problem arise if zero is came right side of a significant figure. For example 8000.

How many significant figures are there? One, two, or three or four. This problem is solved by using
scientific notation.

For example 8*10^4 has one significant figure

8.0*10^4 has two significant figures

8.00*10^4 has three significant figures

8.000*10^4 has four significant figures

Slide 3:

The word SI came from a French word. Basically, SI unit is the international system of units. It consists of
7 basic units. Let’s learn those units-

No need to memorize those. We will memorize those automatically later.

Slide 4:

Multiples are factors used to create larger forms

whereas submultiples are factors used to create smaller forms of the SI units.

For example, a centimetre is a submultiple and

kilometre is a multiple of a metre

Every base unit uses some prefix to express the multiples or sub multiples.

Upper side of base unit are multiples

And lower side are sub multiples.

Base unit means the unit without multiples or submultiples.

Here are some problems. Now try to solve those problem with your own. If you can’t solve the problem,
don’t worry I am here for you. I will solve those in the next lecture.

Until then stay connected. Thank You for watching the lecture. Bye.
