• A magnitude is a property of the material that we can
  measure. For example, can we measure the mass of a
  coin?. Yes, we can. So the mass of a coin is a physical
  magnitude or magnitude. Can we measure the volume of
  a coin?. Yes, we can. So the volume of a coin is a physical
  magnitude or magnitude.

             We measure the mass                              We measure the volume
             with a scale                                     with a test-tube




               Beauty isn’t a magnitude. We can’t
               measure it with an instrument or with a
               machine.    However, there’s a world
               beauty competition every year.
                                                         Knowledge isn’t a magnitude. We can’t
                                                         measure it with an instrument or with a
                                                         machine. However, you have to pass many
                                                         exams every year.
We must express a magnitude with a number or quantity and a unit.


                Magnitude = quantity x unit


For example, a car is running at 120 km/h. We express it like:

                                 V = 120 km/h



           Speed, (magnitude)                          Unit

                                Number or quantity



          Remember : You always must express the magnitude
                     like a number followed by a unit.
                     Put the unit. Don’t forget it.
                                                                 !
• All the magnitudes and their units are gathered in a common set
  called the International System.
• Scientists choose an arbitrary number of magnitudes. They are
  most important. These ones are called fundamental magnitudes.


               FUNDAMENTAL MAGNITUDES AND THEIR UNITS
             MAGNITUDE                      UNIT

             Length                         meter (m)
             Time                           second (s)
             Mass                           kilogram (kg)
             Temperature                    kelvin (K)

Magnitudes

  • 1.
  • 2. • A magnitude is a property of the material that we can measure. For example, can we measure the mass of a coin?. Yes, we can. So the mass of a coin is a physical magnitude or magnitude. Can we measure the volume of a coin?. Yes, we can. So the volume of a coin is a physical magnitude or magnitude. We measure the mass We measure the volume with a scale with a test-tube Beauty isn’t a magnitude. We can’t measure it with an instrument or with a machine. However, there’s a world beauty competition every year. Knowledge isn’t a magnitude. We can’t measure it with an instrument or with a machine. However, you have to pass many exams every year.
  • 3. We must express a magnitude with a number or quantity and a unit. Magnitude = quantity x unit For example, a car is running at 120 km/h. We express it like: V = 120 km/h Speed, (magnitude) Unit Number or quantity Remember : You always must express the magnitude like a number followed by a unit. Put the unit. Don’t forget it. !
