1. Where comes from the word measurement?


 The word measurement comes from the Greek word
metron which means limited proportion.
2. Define measurement?
 Measurement is a technique in which properties of an
object determined by comparing them to a standard
unit.
3. Define the following terms?
 Physical quantities

the measurement of physical quantities
 These are the quantities in terms of which other
physical quantities
 These are quantities whose definitions are based
on other physical
 Is the standard quantity used for comparison
4. List types of system of units?
 Cgs system
 Fps system
 Mks system
 SI unit
5. List three kinds of units?
 Base unit
 Supplementary units
 Derived units
6. Fill the blank spaces with appropriate term?

measures adopted a system of units called
______(INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF UNIT)
 The fps system Is a ______(IT IS A BRITISH)
 The SI unit of mass is called ______(KILOGRAM)
 The unit of plane angle is ______(RADIAN)
 A system which consists three parts of fundamental
unit, derived unit and supplementary unit is called
______(SYSTEM OF UNITS)
7. Define the following terms?
 Kilogram
 Meter
 Second
 A cylindrical prototype mass made of platinum
and iridium alloys of height 39mm and diameter
39mm.
 It is defined as the distance travelled by light in
vacuum during a time of 1/299,792,458 second.
 Is the time in which cesium-133 atom vibrates
9,192,631,770 times in a atomic clock.
8. Define measuring length?
 Length is a measure of distance between two points.

 Mass of a substance is a measure of the amount of
matter it contains.
10. Define measurement of time?

occupied by an object.
The SI unit of volume is cubic meter (m³)
13. Define scientific notation?
 Scientific notation is used to make very large or very
small numbers easier to write and read.
14. List rules for significant figures?
 All non-zero numbers are significant
E.g 365 has 3 sf
 Zeros located between non-zero digits are significant
E.g 2006 has 4 sf
 Trailing zeros 《those at the end 》are significant
only if the number contains a decimal point
E.g 650 has 3 sf
1.0 has 2sf
 Zeros to the left of the first non-zero digit are
insignificant e.g 0.0012 has 2 sf
0.009 has 1 sf

17. Define significant figures?
 The term significant figures actually refers to
particular digits in a number.
