Notebook 1

This document contains information about derived and base units used in physics. It lists various quantities such as force, power, magnetic flux, and radioactivity. For each quantity, it provides the SI unit, abbreviation, and formula or definition. For example, the SI unit for force is the newton (N), defined as the force needed to accelerate 1 kg of mass at a rate of 1 m/s2. It also lists conversion factors between units, such as 100 ergs equaling 1 joule. Radiologic units are defined in terms of exposure, absorbed dose, and dose equivalent.
