Q. How many types of quantity are there?
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.

Q. Which type of physical quantity is work?
scalar quantity
Q. What are the two parts of physical quantity?
Physical quantities are often divided into two categories; base quantities and derived quantities. Derived quantities are those quantities which are derived from other physical quantities.
Q. What are the 10 physical quantities?
The seven base quantities and their corresponding units are:
- time (second)

- mass (kilogram)
- electric current (ampere)
- thermodynamic temperature (kelvin)
- amount of substance (mole)
- luminous intensity (candela)
Q. What is SI unit of physical quantities?
SI base unit
| Base quantity | Name | Symbol |

Q. What is the meaning of measurements?
In the classical definition, which is standard throughout the physical sciences, measurement is the determination or estimation of ratios of quantities. Quantity and measurement are mutually defined: quantitative attributes are those possible to measure, at least in principle.
Q. What is the study of measurement called?
Metrology, officially defined as the “science of measurement and its application” (JCGM 2012: 2.2), is a field of study concerned with the design, maintenance and improvement of measuring instruments in the natural sciences and engineering.
