    Fundamental Units
AI Thread Summary
The fundamental base units for measurement include kilogram (kg), metre (m), candela (Cd), second (s), ampere (A), kelvin (K), and mole (mol). Volume is derived from the base unit for length, resulting in cubic meters (m³), not cm³. Force is also a derived unit, expressed as newtons (N), which equals m·kg·s⁻². Both force and volume do not have their own base units but are calculated from these fundamental units. Understanding these derivations is essential for accurate scientific measurement.

What are the fundamental base units for Force and Volume?
I think its cm3 for volume but not completely sure.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
the fundamental units are

kilogram (kg)
metre (m)
candela (Ca)
second (s)
ampere (A)
kelvin (K)
mole (mol)

So for something like speed which has the formula speed=distance/time, the unit would be m/s

So for force, write down how you'd get force and then check the units for it.
 
There are no base units for force or volume. The units for those are said to be derived from the base units. So, volume would have the derived unit m3, derived from the base unit for length, m. Likewise the derived unit for force is N = m·kg·s-2, derived from the base units m, kg, and s.

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
