Question

Name four basic measurements in our daily life.

Answer 1

Hint: Measurement of physical quantities is made with the help of physical units. The 4 basic measurements asked in the question are the four most importantly used quantities used for measurement of things around us. A physical quantity is defined by specifying how it is measured or by stating how it is calculated.

Complete answer:
The names of the 4 basic physical quantities are given as:
1. Length-Length is the measurement that gives us the dimension of an object.
2. Mass- Mass is a property of a physical body to measure its resistance to motion when a net force is applied on to the body.
3. Time- Time is the parameter to measure the progress of existence and events
4. Temperature- Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body
These are the 4 measurements that are required in our day to day life. There are more such scientific measurements available which are more complicated than these.

Additional Information:
Units are the standardized values which are used for the measurement of these physical quantities. Without units it is extremely difficult to measure these basic physical quantities. There are two types of units-fundamental units and derived units.

Note:
While answering this question, we have to get some idea about what are the different quantities in our daily life that we measure. Mass, length, temperature and time are the quantities which when measured gives us most of the information about the physical behavior of everyday objects.
