Question

. Explain classification of Physical Quantities based upon

magnitude and direction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTION OF A VECTOR. Given a position vector →v=⟨a,b⟩,the magnitude is found by |v|=√a2+b2. The direction is equal to the angle formed with the x-axis, or with the y-axis, depending on the application. For a position vector, the direction is found by tanθ=(ba)⇒θ=tan−1(ba), as illustrated in Figure 8.8.

Answer 2

Answer:

Physical quantities are classified into two types. There are fundamental and derived quantities. Fundamental or base quantities are quantities which cannot be expressed in terms of any other physical quantities. These are length, mass, time, electric current, temperature, luminous intensity and amount of substance.
