This document discusses physical quantities and units in physics. It defines a physical quantity as something that can be measured, like length, weight, or time, and notes that every physical quantity has a magnitude and unit. It discusses unit conversion for areas and volumes using prefixes like milli (10-3). Base units include meters, kilograms, and seconds. Derived units are combinations of base units and must be multiplied or divided, not added or subtracted. Scalar quantities have only magnitude, while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction, and can be represented by arrows. Methods for adding and resolving vectors are also outlined.
