(pdf)Introduction to Physics Science -2

The document outlines fundamental and derived physical quantities, detailing seven base quantities such as length, mass, and time, and derived quantities like force and energy. It distinguishes between scalar and vector quantities, explaining that scalars have magnitude only while vectors have both magnitude and direction. Additionally, it discusses vector equality and addition, emphasizing the use of vector diagrams to represent forces.

-There are seven quantities -Those physical quantities
which form the foundation for which are expressed in terms
other physical quantities. of base quantities are called
derived quantities.
-These physical quantities are
called fundamental/base -These include area, volume,
quantities. speed, force, energy, power,
acceleration..

- Two vectors are
equal when they
have the same 1 unit
magnitude and
direction A and C.

- Opposite vectors: A
vector having the
same magnitude but B
opposite direction
A and B also C and
B are opposite
vectors.

Vector Addition -We use vector diagrams
to depict the forces acting
-Two vectors can be added upon an object.Such
together to determine the diagrams are commonly
called as free-body
