@ -22,10 +22,6 @@ Every other SI unit is derived from the fundamental SI units. Memorise these!
Note that on an assesment, you are expected to derive the SI unit expression given the equation of unit.
For example Force = mass x acceleration = mass x distance / time / time = $kg \times m \times s^{-2}$.
!!! note "Definition"
Physical Quantity: must always be expressed as the product of **magnitude**(number) and a **unit**.
Example: $10m$ (10 meters).
### Metric prefixes

This isn’t a definition, and I think it can instead be either a warning or rewritten to be integrated into the page somewhere.

To conform with the rest of the repository, unless they are proper nouns, definitions should be in sentence case and should be bolded:

**Physical quantity**: A measurable property of an object or system, expressed as a product of a magnitude (number) and a unit, in that order.

Every SI unit can be expanded with metric prefixes.
