When measuring with different units will it take more of a smaller unit than a larger unit to reach the same capacity?
more smaller units than the bigger units
Are meters larger than liters?
A metre is a unit of length. A litre is a unit of volume. The two units are therefore incompatible.
Is 120 meters greater than 12 meters?
Since the two units of measure are the same, the larger unit of measure is that with the larger number - therefore, 120 metres is larger than 12 metres.
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!
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 (:
Why do you divide to change a smaller unit to a larger unit?
Because the number of larger units will be less than the number of smaller units, and when you divide the answer is usually smaller than the number you started with.
When measuring with different units will it take more of a smaller unit than a larger unit to reach the same capacity?
more smaller units than the bigger units
What a base unit?
A base unit is a unit of measurement on which other units are based.
How do you convert a given unit to larger unit and its answer?
You have to multiply by the conversation ratio.
Why the unit of mass is called fundamental units?
In the SI, it is DEFINED as a base unit, together with the unit of length, the unit of time, and a few others. Other units are derived from these base units.
Are meters larger than liters?
A metre is a unit of length. A litre is a unit of volume. The two units are therefore incompatible.
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'.
Why are derived units more complex than fundamental units and why is it important to know whether a unit is derived or fundamental?
Derived units are simply more complex because they are made up of several (that is, usually, by more than one) base unit. It is just the way they are defined; for example, in the SI, distance and time are base units, while speed is a derived unit (distance / time). You can just as well invent a system of units where - for example - time and speed are base units; in this case, distance would be a derived unit.
What are the basic prefixs used in the metric system and how do they relate to the size of the base unit?
There are six basic prefixes used in the metric system, and they all relate to the base unit in powers of ten. The smallest, milli, is .001 unit. Next, centi- is .01 units, and deci- is .1 units. The larger units start with deca-, which is 10 units, followed by hecta-, which is 100, and kilo-, which is 1000 units.
What metric base unit is used to measure length?
The base unit is the meter. Larger and smaller units based on the meter are also used, for example downward: millimeter, micrometer (a.k.a. "micron"), nanometer; and upward: the kilometer. Larger units like megameter and gigameter could be used, but they are seldom used in practice.
Why is the unit of mass called fundamental?
In the SI, it is DEFINED as a base unit, together with the unit of length, the unit of time, and a few others. Other units are derived from these base units.
Is a centimeter 100 times larger than a gram?
A centimetre is a unit of distance. A gram is a unit of mass. The two units are therefore incompatible.
