Rainbow Mind Map: Physical Quantities
1. What are Physical Quantities?
Measurable properties of matter or phenomena, expressed with a unit. Example: Mass, Time, Temperature.
2. Types of Physical Quantities
Fundamental: Basic quantities like mass, length, time.
Derived: Formed from combinations of fundamental ones. Example: Speed = Distance / Time
Derived: Formed from combinations of fundamental ones. Example: Speed = Distance / Time
3. Seven Fundamental Quantities in SI
1. Length

4. Derived Quantities
• Speed = Distance / Time (m/s)
• Area = Length × Breadth (m²)
• Volume = Length × Breadth × Height (m³)
• Area = Length × Breadth (m²)
• Volume = Length × Breadth × Height (m³)
5. Systems of Units
• CGS: centimetre, gram, second
• FPS: foot, pound, second
• MKS: metre, kilogram, second
• SI: Modern International system used globally
• FPS: foot, pound, second
• MKS: metre, kilogram, second
• SI: Modern International system used globally
6. SI Units of Key Quantities
• Mass = kilogram (kg)
• Length = metre (m)
• Time = second (s)
• Temperature = kelvin (K)
• Length = metre (m)
• Time = second (s)
• Temperature = kelvin (K)
7. Submultiples and Multiples
• Submultiples: milli (10⁻³), micro (10⁻⁶), nano (10⁻⁹)
• Multiples: kilo (10³), mega (10⁶), giga (10⁹)
• Multiples: kilo (10³), mega (10⁶), giga (10⁹)
