IGCSE-Physics-Revision-Notes-Physical-quantities-and-measurement-techniques

CORE:

Describe the use of rulers and measuring cylinders to find a length or a volume
Describe how to measure a variety of time intervals using clocks and digital timers
Determine an average value for a small distance and for a short interval of time by measuring multiples (including the period of oscillation of a pendulum)

EXTENDED:

Understand that a scalar quantity has magnitude (size) only and that a vector quantity has magnitude and direction
Know that the following quantities are scalars: distance, speed, time, mass, energy and temperature
Know that the following quantities are vectors: force, weight, velocity, acceleration, momentum, electric field strength and gravitational field strength
Determine, by calculation or graphically, the resultant of two vectors at right angles, limited to forces or velocities only
