Derived quantities in physics.
0:02
Definition. Derived quantities are
0:04
physical quantities that are obtained by
0:07
combining two or more fundamental
0:09
quantities using mathematical
0:11
relationships. Derived quantities depend
0:14
on fundamental quantities such as
0:16
length, mass, and time. They are not
0:19
measured directly. Instead, they are
0:21
calculated using formulas. For example,
0:25
speed is obtained by dividing distance
0:28
by time. both of which are fundamental
0:30
quantities. Imagine baking a cake.
0:33
Flour, sugar and eggs are your basic
0:36
ingredients. Fundamental quantities. The
0:39
cake you produce by mixing them in the
0:41
right way is like a derived quantity
0:43
created from the basics. Derived
0:46
quantities are quantities formed by
0:48
combining basic measurements. Derived
0:51
quantities are defined using formulas
0:53
made from fundamental quantities.
0:56
Examples: Speed equals distance/ time.
0:59
Density equals mass. Volume. Force
1:03
equals mass time acceleration. Key
1:05
points. Derived quantities depend on
1:08
fundamental quantities. They're
1:10
calculated not measured directly. Each
1:13
has a derived SI unit. They describe
1:15
more complex physical phenomena. They
1:18
are widely used in physics calculations.
1:21
Common derived quantities and their SI
1:23
units. Speed MSY, velocity MSY,
1:28
Acceleration MS 2, Force Newton on
1:33
Density KGM cubed, Pressure Pascal P,
1:38
Energy, Jewel J. Examples: Speed of a
1:42
moving car, density of a metal block,
1:45
Force applied to push an object,
1:47
pressure in a gas cylinder, energy used
1:49
by an electric appliance. Applications:
1:52
Motion analysis in transportation,
1:55
engineering and construction design,
1:58
electrical and mechanical systems,
2:00
scientific and laboratory calculations,
2:03
industrial process control. Question,
2:06
how are derived quantities different
2:08
from fundamental quantities? Answer:
2:11
Derived quantities are obtained by
2:14
combining fundamental quantities
2:16
mathematically while fundamental
2:18
quantities are independent and measured
2:20
directly. Solved problem question. A car
2:23
travels a distance of 100 m in 5S.
2:27
Calculate its speed. Answer given.
2:30
Distance equals 100 m. Time equals 5s.
2:35
Speed equals distance/ time. Speed
2:38
equals 100s. Speed equals 20 msy.
