REFLECTIVE LEARNING SHEETS

1.) What are the things that you learned most about the topic presented? (explain very well and
elaborate)
From the topic presented titled "MEASUREMENT," I’ve learned that have a several key points about
measurement and related concepts can be highlighted. First is the measurement in everyday life: The
document emphasizes the importance of measurement in our daily lives. It mentions the measurement of
mass, volume, length, temperature, and other physical properties. And also Physical Quantity: A
physical property that can be measured and described by a number is referred to as a physical quantity.
Examples of physical quantities include mass, length, area, and temperature.
Fundamental and Derived Quantities: The document introduces the distinction between fundamental and
derived quantities. Fundamental quantities are those that do not depend on any other physical quantities
for their measurement, such as mass, length, time, and temperature. Derived quantities, on the other
hand, rely on one or more fundamental quantities for their measurement, such as area, volume, speed,
and force.
Units for Measurement: Units are the standards used to measure physical quantities. The document
provides examples of units for length (meter, foot, inch), mass (kilogram, pound), time (second, minute,
hour), and temperature (Fahrenheit, Kelvin).
Characteristics of Units: Units should possess certain characteristics, including being well-defined,
suitable in size, reproducible, invariable, indestructible, and internationally accepted.
Systems of Units: The document discusses different systems of units, including the CGS (centimeter-
gram-second), MKS (meter-kilogram-second), FPS (foot-pound-second), and SI (International System
of Units). It provides a brief overview of each system and their fundamental units.
SI Units: The SI system, adopted internationally, consists of seven fundamental units: meter for length,
kilogram for mass, second for time, kelvin for temperature, ampere for electric current, candela for
luminous intensity, and mole for the amount of substance.
Definitions of Meter, Kilogram, and Second: The document includes the official definitions of the
meter, kilogram, and second, which are based on specific physical phenomena used as references for
measurement.
Supplementary Units: In addition to fundamental units, the SI system includes two supplementary
units: the radian for measuring plane angle and the steradian for measuring solid angle.
 Rules for Writing SI Units: The document provides guidelines for writing SI
units correctly, such as using lowercase letters for full unit names, capitalizing
units named after scientists, using no space between symbols for units, and
leaving one space between the numeral and unit symbol.
SI Prefixes: The document introduces SI prefixes, which denote factors of 10,
such as milli, micro, nano, giga, and tera. These prefixes are used to express values in smaller or larger
multiples of a base unit.
Practical Units for Measurement: The document presents various practical units used for specific
measurements, such as micron and nanometer for length, pound and metric ton for mass, and solar day
and lunar month for time. And the last is
Dimensions of Physical Quantities: The concept of dimensions is discussed, where the powers of
fundamental quantities in a derived quantity are referred to as its dimensions. An example is given for
density, which has dimensions of mass per cubic length.

2. What particular part of the presentation becomes hard for me to understand

The part of the presentation that is hard for me to understand is the section on SI prefixes. SI prefixes are
used to denote decimal multiples or submultiples of a unit in order to express measurements that are
extremely large or small. The document provides a table of SI prefixes, ranging from yotta to yocto,
along with their symbols. These prefixes can be confusing for me because I’m not familiar with them.
Also need to memorizing all the prefixes and their corresponding values and may require some practice
and familiarity.

3. What is the next topic to be discuss and the things I need to ask during discussion or upon
looking on the presentation?
The next topic to be discussed on the presentation is "Dimensions of a physical quantity." This section
explains how the powers of fundamental quantities in a derived quantity determine the dimensions of
that quantity.
During the discussion or upon reviewing the presentation, I can ask the following questions;

1. What are derived quantities

2. Can you provide examples of fundamental quantities and their corresponding derived quantities?
3. How are dimensions related to physical quantities?
4. What is the significance of understanding dimensions in physics?
5. Can you explain the concept of dimensional analysis and its applications?
