What is the base unit for volume in the international system of units?
The cubic meter.
What is the Basic metric unit for mass or weight?
The kilogram is the SI unit for mass.But grams are also often used.Additional AnswerIn SI, there are 'base' (not 'basic') units and 'derived' units -which, as the name suggests, are derived from the base units. There are seven base units, including the kilogram (not the gram) for mass.The SI unit for weight, which is the force due to gravity, is the newton, which is a derived unit.
What is a base unit of measure and not just a unit?
a base unit is something that cannot be broken down further than it already is such as the Meter (m). There are 7 SI (International system of units) units and these are: Kilogram (kg) Meter (m) second (s) Ampere (A) Kelvin (K) Candela (cd) Mole (mol) Base units are base units because you cannot derive them further like you can other things like speed, volts, energy etc. Hope this helps (:
What do base units always have the volume of?
Base units need not have ANY volume. A second is the base unit for measuring time and it has no volume!
Definiton of Customary Unit?
A Customary Unit or non-SI unit is a measurement unit that is not part of the metric system. Customary units are mainly units of the Imperial system but they could be localised customary units - such as Gaj (for area) is South Asia.
What is the base unit of voltage?
The base unit of voltage is the volt, a combined unit meaning joules per coulomb.AnswerThe SI unit for voltage is the volt (symbol: V), which is a derived unit -not a base unit. There are seven base units in the SI system: metre, kilogram, second, ampere, candela, kelvin, and mole. SI units which are not base units are termed 'derived units'.
What does the abbreviation K stand for in degrees?
Kelvin - a unit of measurement for temperature. It is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units (SI) and is assigned the unit symbol K.
Is a second a si based unit?
Not really. The second is one of the SI system's seven BASE (not 'basic') units.
What is the metric unit length of a tree?
The official system of measurements is the SI; it has SEVEN base units.
Which is the functional unit of the metric system?
I have no idea what you mean with "functional unit". The SI has units to measure lots of different things; basically there are seven base units (such as the meter, the second, and the kilogram), and several dozen derived units, i.e., units derived from the base units, for example meters/second for speed.
What are the fundamental and derived units?
In a system of units such as the SI, BASE UNITS are defined; other units are derived from those.For example, in the SI, the meter, the kilogram, and the second are base units; the units for area (meters squared), for speed and velocity (meters/second), etc. are derived from the base units. Which units are base units, and which units are derived units, really depends on how the unit is defined. For example, in the SI, pressure is a derived unit; but you can just as well invent a system in which pressure is a base unit, and some other units, that are base units in the SI, are derived in this new system.
What is a 7 letter word where its third letter is n and has something to do with the metric system?
Candela, It's the base unit for luminous intensity; one of the seven base units of the metric system.
What is the official si for temperature?
It is Kelvin.The kelvin is a unit of measurement for temperature. It is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units (SI) and is assigned the unit symbol K.Temperature in Kelvin = Temperature in Celsius + 273.15
What unit is the metric system of measurement based on?
It is based on seven base units (kilogram, meter, second, kelvin, ampere, candela, mole).
What is the basic unit used to measure SI?
There are seven base units in the SI system. They are; metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela. Other units are derived from these.
What is the difference between a base unit from a derived unit?
There are 7 base SI units and all other are defined using these 7 base units. See the related question below:[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_all_the_SI_unitsWhat are all SI units?]
What is the base unit for volume in the international system of units?
The cubic meter.
