1 Derived units Derived units- A combination of other units
Example : Speed, Volume, and Density Speed is measured as m/s in SI units Volume is the measure of space Volume is expressed as cubic meter, cubic centimeter or cubic millimeter - m3 ,cm3 ,or mm3

2 VOLUME VOLUME OF A CUBE = (EDGE LENGTH)3
A CUBE WITH 10 CM LENGTH HAS A VOLUME OF (10CM)3 WHILE A CUBE HAS A 100 CM EDGE LENGTH HAS A VOLUME OF (100CM)3

3 Some common units and their equivalents
Length Mass Volume 1 Km = miles 1kg = lb. 1 Liter = 1000 cm3 1 m = inches = 1.094yards 1lb = g 1Liter = quarts(qt) 1 foot = cm 1 ounce = 28.35g 1 Gallon = L 1 inch = 2.54cm

4 Density Density = Mass/Volume or d = m/v Density of a substance is the ratio of its mass to its volume Density is a physical property Its also an intensive property Intensive property - Property that independent of the amount of the substance . Example : The density is same for a sample of 1gram of Aluminum and for 1kg of Aluminum Density of pure gold is 19.3 g/cm3

5 INTENSIVE AND EXTENSIVE PROPERTIES
INTENSIVE PROPERTY – INDEPENDENT OF THE AMOUNT OF SUBSTANCE EXAMPLE : DENSITY EXTENSIVE PROPERTY :PROPERTY THAT DEPENDS ON THE AMOUNT OF SUBSTANCE EXAMPLE : VOLUME,MASS
