Why do scientist use the metric system?
It is a more precise way of measuring
What are some possible unit for measuring time in the metric system?
The units for measuring time are the same in the metric and Imperial systems: seconds, minutes, hours, days and so on.
How can two thirds cups be measured if there is no two thirds measuring cup?
To measure two-thirds of a cup when you don't have a two-thirds measuring cup, you can use a one-third measuring cup and fill it twice. Another option is to use a half-cup measuring cup and fill it one and a third times.
Why is it important that we understand the metric system?
We have to communicate with other people so we need to use the same system, in all the world the most common is the metric system. Americans like to use their system (for example, they use feet, inches..), it's not the best way to communicate with others! UK is predominantly metric in weight and volumes but still will uses imperial for distance /measuring now but may still used So it is necessary to use the same system, I have already said the best one (most common hence useful) is the metric system.
What you use Multimeters for?
A multitude of things depending on their capability. Typical multimeter functions include: - Measuring current; - Measuring voltage; - Measuring Resistance; - Measuring continuity (i.e. whether circuit is complete so electricity can pass through it);
Why did the change from the imperial number system to metric?
To simplify the system. The decimal or metric system makes the task of measuring weight, volume, length,or money calculation so much easier.
What is the most commonly use for?
measuring heat..."thermo" as in "thermal" means heat, and a meter is a measuring device...so a thermo-meter or a thermometer is a device that measures heat.
Why should you use a standard in measuring?
So that scientists all over the world can easily compare their results
What consequences will result from East Asia's use of its ocean resources?
you have to red so you can answer the question
What is the unit for measuring water pollution?
The units used for pollution are the same we use in our daily day routines. We could use the expression calcium carbonate in milligrams per liter. So there is no specific unit for measuring water pollution.
Why scientist use tools such as thermometers and meter sticks when they make observation?
Scientists use measuring instruments whenever the can because everything cannot be observed by the senses so measuring instruments are needed instead.
How many types of systems of measurements are there?
There are two main system: the SI and the Imperial system. But there are many local subsystems - such as for land measurement in South Asia. Also, the media sometimes use popular images: as large as a football field, the volume of an Olympic swimming pool and so on.
