Like all other sciences,physicsphysics is based on experimentalbased on experimental

The main objective of physics is to find the limited
number of fundamental laws that govern natural
phenomena and to use them to develop theories that
can predict the results of future experiments.
The fundamental laws used in developing theories are expressed in the

The need for assigning numerical values to various measured physical
quantities was expressed by Lord KelvinLord Kelvin (William Thomson) as
follows:
I often say that when you can measure what you are
speaking about, and express i t in numbersexpress i t in numbers, you
should know something about it, but when you
cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge
is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind. It may
be the beginning of knowledge but you have scarcely
in your thoughts advanced to the state of science.

relationships among physical quantities physical quantities.
Most of these quantities are derived quantitiesderived quantities,
in that they can be expressed as combinations of
a small number of basic quantities.

Likewise, if we are told that a person has a mass of 75 kilograms and our
unit of mass is defined to be 1 kilogram, then that person is 75 times as
massive as our basic unit.
It would be meaningless if a visitorfrom another planet were to
talk to us about a length of 8 glitches if we do not know the

A unit is a particular physical quantityA unit is a particular physical quantity, defined and adopted by
convention, with which other particular quantities of the same kind are
compared to express their value.
The value of a physical quantity is the quantitative expressionquantitative expression of a
particular physical quantity as the product of a numberand a unit, the
number being its numerical value.
For example, the circumference of the earth around the equator is given by:
Ce = 40.074.10
3
mwhere Ce is the physical quantity and the number 40.074. 10
3 is the
numericalvalue of this quantity expressed in the unit "meter".

The basic units a physical materialization should be available
that enables a comparison of the associated quantity with other
instruments: a standard.
The value of the quantity that is represented by such a
standard is exactly 1 by convention.
For instance the unit of the meter was the distance between two small
scratches on a particular platinum bar that was kept under thesupervision of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM)
in Srvres, France.

For other units too (primary) standards have been constructed, and they
have been used for a long time to compare the unit value with other
standards, called secondary standards.
The unit value for the quantities mass, length and time have been
chosen with a view to practical applicability. For instance, the
circumference of the earth could be a proper standard but is highly
impractical; therefore the meter was originally defined (1791) as one
ten millionth of a quarter of the earth's meridian passing through
Paris, which is a much more practical measure for daily life usage.

LengthLength
In A.D. 1120 the king of England decreed that the standard of length in his
country would be named the yard (3 ft) and would be precisely equal to
the distance from the tip ofhis nose to the end of his outstretched arm.
Similarly, the original standard for the foot adopted by the French
was the length of the royal foot of King Louis XIV (until 1799).
The legal standard of length in France became the meter,meter,defined as
one ten-millionth the distance from the equator to the North
Pole along one particular longitudinal line that passesthrough Paris.

As recently as 1960, the length of the meter was defined as
In the 1960s and 1970s, the meter was defined as
the distance between two lines on a specific platinumiridium bar
stored under controlled conditions in France.
1 650 763.73 wavelengths of orange-red light emitted from
a krypton-86 lamp.
However, in October 1983, the meter (m) was redefined as
the distance traveled by light in vacuum during a time of
1/299 792458 second.

MassMass
The SI unit of mass, the kilogramkilogram(kg), is defined as the mass of a
specific platinumiridium alloy cylinder kept at the International Bureau of
Weights and Measures at Svres, France.
This mass standard was established in
1887 and has not been changed since that
time because platinumiridium is anunusually stable alloy.
A duplicate of the Svres cylinder is
kept at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) in
Gaithersburg, Maryland

TimeTime
Before 1960, the standard of time was defined in terms of the mean
solar day for the year 1900.
(A solar day is the time interval between successive
appearances of the Sun at the highest point it reaches in the
sky each day.)
The second was defined as of a mean solar day.
The rotation of the Earth is now known to vary slightly with time,
however, and therefore this motion is not a good one to use for defining
a time standard.

In 1967, the second was redefined to take advantage of the high
precision attainable in a device known as an atomic clockatomic clock, which uses
the characteristic frequencyof the cesium-133 atom as the reference
clock.
The second (s) is now
defined as 9 192 631770
times the period of
vibration of radiation from
the cesium atom.

Quantities andproperties
A quantity is a property ascribed to phenomena, processes or objects, to
which a value or a class can be assigned.
Quantities can be classified in many ways into groups.
Quantities that have magnitude only are called scalarquantities;
a quantity with magnitude and direction is called a vectorquantity.
We distinguish energy related quantitiesenergy related quantities (associated with energetic
phenomena, for instance force, electric current) and quantities that are notquantities that are notassociated with energyassociated with energy(static quantities or simply properties, for instance
resistivity, length).

Properties that are independent of the dimensions or the amount of
matter arepure material properties; others have a value that is
determined not only by the substance but also by the size or the
construction layout.
For instance, the resistivity (m) is a pure material
property, where as the resistance R( ) depends on the
material as well as the dimensions of the resistor body.
Variables characterizing the state of a system are related by physical
laws. Variables acting upon the system are called independent variablesindependent variables..
Variables describing the system's state are related to these input
variables, hence they are called dependent variablesdependent variables.

corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the
ground state of the cesium 133 atom [13th CGPM (1967), Res.1].
The ampereampereis that constant current which, if maintained in two straight
parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and
placed 1 meter apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a
force equal to 2 x 10 -7 newton per meter of length [9th CGPM (1948)].

Physical quantity is the numerical value of a measurableproperty that
describes a physical system's state at a moment in time.
A physical property is any measurable property the value of
which describes a physical system's state at any given
moment in time.
For that reason the changes in the physical quantities of a system
describe its transformation (or evolution between its momentary states).
