Example types with quantities
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Base quantities are those quantities on the basis of which other quantities can be expressed. (15 words)
He opted to grow larger quantities to sell rather than smaller quantities for personal use. (15 words)
In some contexts, dimensional quantities are expressed as dimensionless quantities or percentages by omitting some dimensions. (16 words)
E.g., the quantities 1 mW and 1 MW represent two different quantities; the former is the typical power requirement of a hearing aid (1 milliwatt or 0.001 watts), and the latter the typical power requirement of a suburban train (1 megawatt or main watts). (46 words)
Notice that the definition depends on comparing the similar quantities m·a and n·b, and the similar quantities m·c and n·d, and does not depend on the existence of a common unit of measuring these quantities. (39 words)
This shows that it is not possible to use a generic symbol such as ∞ for all the infinite quantities in the hyperreal system; infinite quantities differ in magnitude from other infinite quantities, and infinitesimals from other infinitesimals. (37 words)

Base quantities main "Base quantities are those quantities which are distinct in nature and cannot be expressed in the form of other quantities".
General derived quantities Derived quantities are those whose definitions are based on other physical quantities(base quantities).

Classical mechanics Mass and inertia Derived kinematic quantities Kinematic quantities of a classical particle: mass m, position r, velocity v, acceleration a. Derived dynamic quantities Angular momenta of a classical object.
Notice that the definition depends on comparing the similar quantities m·a and n·b, and the similar quantities m·c and n·d, and does not depend on the existence of a common unit of measuring these quantities.
Protection quantities The protection quantities are used as "limiting quantities" to specify exposure limits to ensure that the occurrence of stochastic health effects is kept below unacceptable levels and that tissue reactions are avoided.
This shows that it is not possible to use a generic symbol such as ∞ for all the infinite quantities in the hyperreal system; infinite quantities differ in magnitude from other infinite quantities, and infinitesimals from other infinitesimals.

Although found throughout the plant, these compounds are concentrated in the highest quantities in the seeds; lesser quantities are found in young vegetative tissue, and they decrease as the tissue ages.
Ancient Greek mathematicians calculated not with quantities and equations as we do today, but instead they used proportionalities to express the relationship between quantities.
Cauchy defined infinitely small quantities in terms of variable quantities, and his definition of continuity closely parallels the infinitesimal definition used today (see microcontinuity ).
Dimensionless quantities are often obtained as products or ratios of quantities that are not dimensionless, but whose dimensions cancel out in the mathematical operation.
E.g., the quantities 1 mW and 1 MW represent two different quantities; the former is the typical power requirement of a hearing aid (1 milliwatt or 0.001 watts), and the latter the typical power requirement of a suburban train (1 megawatt or main watts).
Furthermore, the quantities in which they occur in irradiated food are lower or similar to the quantities formed in heat treatments.
However, the dimensions form a group under multiplication, so: :One may take ratios of incommensurable quantities (quantities with different dimensions), and multiply or divide them.
In some contexts, dimensional quantities are expressed as dimensionless quantities or percentages by omitting some dimensions.
In the primal space, this matrix expresses the consumption of physical quantities of inputs necessary to produce set quantities of outputs.
