6.8 m 0.9 km 8 K 6 MeV 43.5 HRC(150 kg) Referred as Quantity Value in International vocabulary of metrology (VIM) A symbolic that has parts a reference unit and a numerical object separated by a space expressing the value of a quantitative property (expressed as the product of the numerical and the unit). SI distinguishes between a quantity (an abstract concept) and the quantity value (a number and a reference). The EMMO, following strict nominalism, denies the existence of abstract objects and then collapses the two concepts of SI quantity and SI quantity value into a single one: the 'Quantity'. So, for the EMMO the symbol "kg" is not a physical quantity but simply a 'Symbolic' object categorized as a 'MeasurementUnit'. While the string "1 kg" is a 'Physical Quantity'. A quantity is not necessarily a property, since it is possible to write "10 kg", without assigning this quantity to a specific object. However, a quantitative property is always a quantity. |
