WEEK 1 Gen PHYSICS Measurement

The document discusses the concepts of measurement, units, and physical quantities in physics. It defines measurement as determining the size or magnitude of something by comparing it to a standard quantity. The document also differentiates between fundamental quantities like length, mass, and time that cannot be defined by other quantities, and derived quantities that are defined in terms of fundamental ones. Measurement is an essential part of daily life, as it allows us to quantify and compare physical properties.

REVIEW:

What is Physics? What are


the Different branches of
Physics?
WHY ARE THESE BLIND
MEN PARTLY RIGHT,
BUT ALL OF THEM
WERE IN THE WRONG?

Can this picture depicts


the concept of
measurement,
accuracy, precision and
errors? If yes in what
way?
ACTIVITY 1:
Answer Activity (Day 1) of the Self Learning
Module (Keep This in Mind!) by pair.
Give each pair Activity Sheet to answer.
Presentation of answer follow after 3
minutes.
ANSWER:
Measurement is an 1. ACTION of 2.
MEASURING
3. PHYSICAL 4 .QUANTITIES.
It is also an 5. ASSIGNMENT of 6. NUMBERS
and
7. UNITS to describe characteristics of 8.
MEASUREMENT
- is the determination of the size or magnitude of
something by comparing the unknown quantity with the
standard quantity. It is an action of measuring physical
quantities.
When we compare an unknown quantity to a standard quantity to see how many times as
big it is, we are measuring. This process is called measurement.

Units – are term used to described physical quantities.

Two Systems of Measurement:


English System
The English System was first adapted in England then later in the United States. Also
known as the FPS system from the standard units of Foot for length, Pound for weight,
and Second for time. The English system also includes the units yard, mile, and horse
power.
Metric System
The Metric system also known as the International System of Units it is adapted by
most countries worldwide including Philippines. The Metric system originated in France
in 1791. It makes use of two sets of basic units: the MKS (meter for length, kilogram for
mass, and second for time) and CGS (centimeter for length, gram for mass, and second
for time)
Examples of:
English System
1. The man is 6 feet tall
2. A ruler is measure 12 inches long
3. I live in Brgy. Amamaros which is
1.2 miles away from school

Metric System
1. The man is 1.76 meters tall
2. A ruler is 300 centimeters long
3. I live in Brgy. Amamaros which is
1.5 kilometers away from school
MEASUREMENT AND PHYSICAL
QUANTITIES
By layman’s term, physical quantities are anything
that can be measured.
Examples of these are time, length, area, energy,
force, work, heat, and many others. They are
classified into two; namely, (1) Fundamental
quantities, and (2) Derived Quantities.
FUNDAMENTAL
QUANTITIES
• Refers to a physical quantity that cannot be stated in
any other physical quantity. One of its primary
functions is to support other quantities. Quantities
like length, mass, time and thermodynamic
temperature are examples of fundamental quantities
in Physics.
COMPARE DERIVED FROM FUNDAMENTAL
QUANTIES
THE MOLE
•Chemistry unit used to describe the amount
of a substance.
•We used it to describe amounts of very small
things like an atom.
•The mole is equal to 6.022 x10 23
particles
AMMETER- IS AN INSTRUMENT THAT
IS USED TO MEASURE THE CURRENT IN A
CIRCUIT.
PHOTOMETER- INSTRUMENT
THAT MEASURES LIGHT INTENSITY.
ACTIVITY 2:
Answer Task 2 of the Self Learning Module (Activity
must be done at home and be submitted the next
meeting).
The task must be done individually.
2 members per group will present their output in front
of the class.
GENERALIZATION:
What is measurement and how important it
is in our daily living? Give examples
where this concept is being applied.
EVALUATION: ANSWER THE
FOLLOWING IN YOUR JOURNAL
(INDIVIDUAL)
1. What are some of the objects and/or event that you frequently measure? Please
explain.
2. What are some of physical quantities you frequently encounter as you did your
household chores or during your work and/or play?
3. In your own understanding, why time, mass, length, current, temperature, amount of
substance and luminous intensity (brightness) are fundamental quantities?
4. Why is it volume, pressure, voltage, and the rest of physical quantities are considered
derived quantities?
5. How important is measurement in your daily life?
