Understanding Fundamental Physical Quantities

 Fundamental Physical Quantities

Force: A force is a push or pull that can change an object's motion or shape. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (how hard the push or pull is) and direction.

Acceleration: Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes. It is also a vector quantity, as it depends on both the change in speed and the change in direction.

Momentum: Momentum is a measure of an object's mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity, as it depends on both the object's mass and its direction of motion.

Torque: Torque is a rotational force that causes an object to rotate around an axis. It is a vector quantity, as it depends on both the magnitude of the force and the distance from the axis of rotation.

Speed: Speed is the rate at which an object moves, regardless of its direction. It is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude.

Velocity: Velocity is the rate at which an object moves in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity, as it depends on both the object's speed and its direction of motion.

Distance: Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object. It is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude.

Displacement: Displacement is the change in position of an object from its starting point to its ending point, considering both magnitude and direction. It is a vector quantity, as it depends on both the distance traveled and the direction of the motion.
