In the language of measurement, 'dimensions?' are measurable attributes of reality such as 'time', 'distance?', 'velocity', 'mass', 'weight', and so on. |
In the language of measurement, 'dimensions' are measurable attributes of reality such as 'time', 'distance', 'velocity', 'mass', 'weight', and so on. |
Traditionally, the accepted fundamental dimensions are mass, length, time, and temperature, but in principle, other fundamental dimensions could be used. |
This system is considered by the System of Units made by 7fundamental ones. |
Velocity, for example, is length divided by time, and so can be generated from the above list of fundamental dimensions. |
Traditionally, the accepted more used fundamental dimensions are 4:# mass, # length, # time, # and electric current, but, the other 3fundamental dimensions can also be used for more complex physics problems:# ([thermodynamic temperature]?, # [amount of substance]?, # [luminous intensity]?). Velocity, for example, is length divided by time, and so can be generated from the above list of fundamental dimensions. Physics call velocity a [derived dimension]?.
