Code Book Chapter No.1

1. Physics is defined as the science of matter, energy, and forces in nature. Physical quantities are properties that can be measured and expressed numerically. Base quantities are fundamental quantities like length, time, mass that other quantities can be derived from. 2. The international system of units adopted by scientists is the SI system. Supplementary units are derived units like velocity that are combinations of base units. Significant figures refer to the digits known with certainty in a measurement. 3. Measurements have errors that can be systematic, arising from faulty instruments, or random. Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value, while precision refers to the reproducibility of measurements.
