Answer
1. (a) Fundamental quantities are basic physical quantities that cannot be derived from other quantities. Derived quantities are those that are derived from fundamental quantities.(b) Fundamental quantities and their units:- Length: meter (m)- Mass: kilogram (kg)- Time: second (s)- Electric current: ampere (A)Derived quantities and their units:- Velocity: meter per second (m/s)- Acceleration: meter per second squared (m/s²)- Force: newton (N)- Energy: joule (J)(c) Examples of scalar quantities:- Temperature- Mass- Time- SpeedExamples of vector quantities:- Velocity- Force- Acceleration- Displacement
Explanation
Fundamental quantities are basic physical quantities that are not derived from other quantities, while derived quantities are those that are derived from fundamental quantities. Examples of fundamental quantities include length (meter), mass (kilogram), time (second), and electric current (ampere). Derived quantities include velocity (meter per second), acceleration (meter per second squared), force (newton), and energy (joule). Scalar quantities have only magnitude (e.g., temperature, mass), while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction (e.g., velocity, force).
