examples of intensive and extensive coordinates of physics
A quantity is called:
extensive when its magnitude is additive for subsystems (volume, mass, etc.)
intensive when the magnitude is independent of the extent of the system (temperature, pressure, [ etc.)
Some extensive physical quantities may be prefixed in order to further qualify their meaning:
specific is added to refer to the quantity divided by its mass (such as specific volume)
molar is added to refer to the quantity divided by the amount of substance (such as molar volume)
There are also physical quantities that can be classified as neither extensive nor intensive, for example
angular momentum, area, force, length, and time.
