to magic, myths, or revelation. Ancient philosophers studied
ethics, morality, and the essence of beings as determined by
the mind, but they also studied the natural world itself. This
latter activity was called natural philosophy (the study of the
phenomena of nature). Among early Greek natural
philosophers were:

1. Thales of Miletus (ca. 624 - 547 B.C.) to be called natural philosophy. In fact, one of the greatest
scientific works ever written was by Sir Isaac Newton. When
it was published in 1687, he entitled it Philosophiae Naturalis
Principia Mathematica (The Mathematical Principles of
Natural Philosophy). Natural philosophy, therefore, studied
all of nature. The Greek word for “natural” is physikos.
Therefore, the name physics came to mean the study of all
of nature. Physics became a separate entity from philosophy
because it employed a different method to search for truth.
Physics developed and employed an approach called the
scientific method in its quest for knowledge.

2. Democritus (ca. 460 - 370 B.C.)

3. Aristarchus (ca. 320 - 250 B.C.) The scientific method is the application of a logical process
of reasoning to arrive at a model of nature that is consistent
with experimental results. The scientific method consists of
five steps:

1. Observation
Is the collection of data from a simple or from
numerous experiments
2. Hypothesis
Is assumption made from the observation regarding
the behavior of nature

experiment. A continuous process of repeating or

Relation of Physics to other Subjects

Physics enables us to study basic components of matter and

their mutual interactions. Therefore, it serves as the base of
natural science. Biology and chemistry borrow from physics in
explaining processes occurring in the natural world. Physics
also provides techniques which are applied almost in every
area of pure science and applied science. Examples:
Meteorology, Astronomy and etc

Career Opportunities In Physics 2. Galileo Galilee (1564 - 1642) – was an Italian

scientist. His work consisted of experiments using

Physics is the true foundation for all other science based

careers such as Doctors, nurses, technologists, engineers,
pharmacists and etc.

3. Michael Faraday (1791 - 1867) – was an English

scientist. He studied heat and electricity. He is
honored for inventing the electric generator.

Some Contributors to Physics

The famous contributors to Physics that we shall always

remember are:

1. Sir Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727) – was an English

scientist who is considered as the father of classical
Physics. He formulated the laws of motion and
universal gravitation. He wrote one of the greatest
scientific works ever written entitled in English “The
Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy” He is
one of the inventors of Calculus.

4
4. James Prescott Joule (1818 - 1889) – was an English
Physicist. He studied heat and work. The unit of
work (Joule) is named in his honor.
7. Georg Simon Ohm (1787 - 1884) - was a German
Physicist. He experimentally determined the basic
law relating voltage and current for a resistor. The
unit of resistance, ohm, is named after him.

5. Thomas Young (1773 - 1829) – studied and further

advanced the study of light and its behavior.

6. Alessandro Antonio Volta (1745 - 1827) - was an

Italian scientist. He invented the electric battery in
1796. The unit of voltage is named in his honor.

most widely known system of units is the international

fields of science. No fact in science is accepted, no law is
established unless it can be exactly measured and quantified.
As physics is based on exact measurement, every
measurement requires two things:
Physical Quantities
1. A number or quantity
2. A unit Physical quantities are the measurable aspects of the
universe. Quantities are things that can be measured either

Measurement is the process by which quantities are by an instrument or by calculation. Examples: height, mass,

determined by comparison with a known standard. weight, volume, distance, velocity etc

The three most important basic quantities in physics are:

matter or material substance.
10 m, 20 s, 5 m/s, 30 cm3 and etc
3. Time – is defined as the occurrence between two
events. The only internationally accepted unit is the international
system of units or in French: systeme international d’units.
The short form is SI units.
Three systems of measurement have been known so far:

Fundamental and Derived Quantities

Fundamental Quantities

The basics or fundamental quantities are the seven (7) basics

SI system of measurement in which all other quantities or
units depend for their definitions. They cannot be expressed
in any other quantities. These quantities are:

Quantity Symbol SI Unit Symbol

Length l meter m
Mass m kilogram kg
Time t second s
Electric Current i ampere a
Temperature θ kelvin k
Amount of Substance μ mole mol
Magnetic flux ⏀ weber wb
Luminous Intensity J candela cd

Derived Quantities

A derived quantity is a combination of two or more basic

quantities. Units of derived quantities are called derived
units while those of fundamental quantities are called
fundamental units. Examples:

Derived Quantity Derived Unit Symbol

Force Newton N
Work Joule J
Acceleration Meter per squared second m/s2
Area Squared meter M2
Pressure Newton per squared meter N/m2
Velocity Meter per second m/s
Volume Cubed meter m3
Power Joule per second J/s
7
 Where, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time, a =
acceleration, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity and s

Dimensional analysis and its use in physics = distance

Dimensional analysis shows how a quantity is related to other

quantities. The dimension of a quantity is written with the
quantity in square brackets. Example: [ Density], [Time],
[Mass], [Length]

Dimension of Basic Quantities

The dimension of basic quantities are written as follows:

[Distance] = L
[Length] = L
[Height] = L
[Radius] = L
[Amount of Substance] = μ
[Temperature] = θ
[Time] = T
[Mass] = M
[Current] = I

Rules for Dimensional Analysis

1. Assign the dimensional symbol to each quantity in

the equation according to the physical quantity it
describes and rewrite the equation.

2. Multiply and divide using the rules of algebra.

3. Check the validity of the equation.

Sample Problems:

1. Find the dimensional equation for each quantity:

a). speed b). area c). force
d). density e). acceleration
f). pressure

2. Check the dimensional consistency or validity of each

of the following equations:

i. V = u + at
ii. F = mg + v
iii. V2 = u2 + 2as
iv. a = tm + vt2

v. S = ut + at

centimeters and millimeters and used to measure
lengths of not less than 50 mm.

2. Tape Rule
The tape rule is a reliable rule used to measure
short or much longer lengths which cannot be
conveniently measured by use of a meter rule.

5. Beam Balance
The function of the beam balance is based on the
principle of moment. This principle enables one to
determine the unknown mass of an object by
comparing it with known standard masses.

3. Vernier Calipers
The Vernier calipers are used to read lengths more
accurately than the meter rule. It consists of a main
scale with fixed jaws at one end, and a Vernier scale
with jaws which slides over the main scale. 6. Spring Balance
The spring balance is used to measure the weight of
an object. It consists of an internal spring that
stretches in length when an object is suspended
from its lower hook.

7. Stop Watch
The stop watch is an instrument used to determine
the time used for an experiment in the laboratory.
It calculates both in seconds and minutes.

9. Thermometer
The thermometer is used to measure the
temperature of objects.

8. Electronic Balance
The electronic balance is used to measure the mass
of substances to a level of accuracy impossible for
traditional balances to achieve.

 the quantity is directed or acting with an arrow. A capital
letter with an arrow pointing to the right on top of it is used
to denote a vector.

Addition of vectors
Scalar and Vector Quantities
Case 1:

Scalars This is when two vectors are parallel or run opposite to each
other.
These are quantities that have magnitude (value or amount)
but no direction. i. Parallel vectors
FR = F 1 + F 2
Examples: speed, distance, temperature, mass and FR = resultant of the two vectors or the sum
of the two vectors F1 = vector 1 and
F2 = vector 2
Vectors

These are quantities that have both magnitude and direction. Note: The resultant is in the direction of the
greater vector
Examples: force, velocity, acceleration, weight, displacement,
retardation and electric current. ii. Opposite vectors
FR = F 1 - F 2
