Question

what is quantity that can be measured called

Answer 1

A unit of measurement is a definite magnitude of a quantity, defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity. Any other quantity of that kind can be expressed as a multiple of the unit of measurement. For example, a length is a physical quantity.

Answer 2

Answer:

A quantity that can be measured is called physical quantity.

Explanation:

Measurable quantities like length, mass, weight, force, and time are examples of physical quantities. The physical quantities are classified into two groups:

• Fundamental physical quantities and
• Derived physical quantities

Fundamental physical quantities

The physical quantities which are basic and independent are fundamental physical quantities. Examples are length, mass, time, temperature, amount of substance, luminous intensity, and electric current.

Thus, there are only seven fundamental physical quantities. These are measured in their own fundamental units.

Derived physical quantities

The physical quantities which are dependent on and derived from fundamental physical quantities are called derived physical quantities. Examples are Area, Pressure, Work, energy, power, etc.

There are many derived physical quantities and they are measured in derived units.
