The International System for Weights and Measures, better know as the SI or metric system.
What is metric and imperial units?
Metric and Imperial units are units of measurements based on different initial standards. They include such things as length, weight (mass), time etc. The standard units are given, all other units in the system are derived from the standard units to ensure compatibility within the system Standard units in the metric system are; (not a complete list) Length: metre Mass: kilogram time : second In the imperial system the units would be; Length: yard (since 1958) Mass: pound Time : second There are conversion tables to change one system to another. For instance you can say 30 mph is equal to 42.28 kph and both parties will know the speed if they use different standards.
Which is not a unit of measurment in the metric system?
A cubit Yeah, that is a unit that is not only not an international system, it is as far as I know an archaic and poorly defined unit that is not currently in use anywhere. Technically, the question is poorly worded because we are asked to compare a unit with a system of units. Since no system of units consists of just one unit, the answer to the question is any unit of measurement (including one that is part of the international system of units) is not the international system of units. So if the questioner is asking for a currently used system of units that is other than the international system, there are probably many such systems. Any system other than the metric system will do. The one I am familiar with is the English system, also known as the FPS (foot-pound-second) system.
Why is the use of SI importants science?
If you are referring to the International System of measurements (commonly also called the metric system): it is important because all measurements are know to be the same and can be compared to a standard, no matter where you are. Also, the units are commonly used, and there are no ambiguous units (US gallon, Imperial gallon, ounce - is it volume or mass, dry quart or liquid quart are some examples).
What are pecks in metric tons?
Pecks are units of volume, metric tons are units of mass, they can't be compared directly. We should know a density of items in pecks to calculate mass of 1 peck and then compare it to metric tons.
