Physical Quantities
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 are conventionallyaccepted as functionally independent of one another.
It is a quantity that cannot be defined in term of other
physical quantity.
The base quantities and its units are as in the table below.

Derived Quantities
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

Answer
a) 7.2 m = 7.2 x 102 cm
b) 0.32 m2 = 0.32 x 104 cm2 = 3.2 x 103 cm2
c) 0.0012 m3 = 0.0012 x 106 cm3 = 1.2 x 103 cm3
d) 5.6 cm = 5.6 x 10-2 m
e) 350 cm2 = 350 x 10-4 m2 = 3.5 x 10-2 m2
f) 45000 cm3 = 45000 x 10-6 m3 = 4.5 x 10-2 m3

Prefixes
Prefixes are the preceding factor used torepresent very small and very large
physical quantities in SI units.

Conversion of Prefixes
1) Prefixes to normal number
Example 1
The frequency of the radio wave is 350MHz. What is the frequency of the radio
wave in Hz?
Answer
Mega (M) = 1,000,000 or 106
Therefore,
350MHz = 350 x 106Hz

Example 2
The thickness of a film is 25nm. What is
the thickness in unit meter?
Answer
nano (n) = 0.000000001 or 10-9
Therefore
25nm = 25 x 10-9m

2) Normal number to prefixes
Example 3
0.255 s is equal to how many ms.
Answer
mili (m) = 0.001 or 10-3
To write a normal number with prefixes,
we divide the number with the value of
the prefixes
0.0255 s = 0.0255 10-3 = 25.5 ms

Example 4
Convert 265,500,000 W into GW.
Answer
Giga (G) = 1,000,000,000 or 109
Therefore
265,500,000 W = 265,500,000 109 =
0.2655GW

Scientific Notation (Standard Form)
Scientific notation (also known as Standard
index notation) is a convenient way to write
very small or large numbers.
In this notation, numbers are separated into twoparts, a real numberwith an absolute value
between 1 and 10 and an order of magnitude
value written as a power of 10.
Physical quantities that are very big or very
small need to be written in the standard form so
that it is neat, simple and easy to read.

1. 2,600 = 2.6 x 103
2. 75,300,000 = 7.53 x 107
3. 0.00023 = 2.3 x 10-44. 0.00000004121 = 4.121 x 10-8
