A quantity is anything that can be measured

Question 2

Fundamental Quantities

What are the 5 fundamental quantities?

Specify symbol

Answer 2

Mass (m)
Length (l)
Time (t)
Temp (T)
Current (I)

Note: Current is the only expection & Temp is capital

Question 3

Fundamental Quantities

What are the SI units for each fundamental quantity

Specify SI unit symbol

Answer 3

Mass - Kilograms (kg)
Length - Meters (m)
Time - Seconds (s)
Temp - Kelvin (K)
Current - Ampere (A)

mass is the only one whose SI unit is not a base (NOT GRAMS)

Question 4
