What are the Sl units of distance?
There area many units used for measurement of the distances .But , the S.I unit od distance is meters ( m ) .
What are two metric units commonly used for distance?
Meters and Kilometers
Why cubic units are used to measure volume instead of linear units or square units?
We measure length in one direction using standard units. Whether it's feet, meters or light years, it's 1-dimensional. Area is a 2-dimentional concept. It's the distance in one direction and the distance in another direction. Distance times distance is the units times the units, or units squared (units2). We see square centimeters, square feet, or square kilometers as well as other units used to measure this 2-dimentional characteristic. Volume is defined as the amount of space something takes up. Space is a 3-dimensional concept, so a 3-dimensional units are required. You've already guessed that's where cubic inches, cubic centimeters or cubic kilometers (units3) is used to measure this 3-dimentional characteristic.
What is 200m squared?
200 ^2 = 40000 You should be able to do the remaining. Note: distance cannot be used to measure area Area = distance ^2 (units wise)
Definition of linear dimension?
For example, on a number line (which is one dimensional object), we measure the distance of two points in units. For example, the distance between 2 and 4 is 2 units. Any nth side of a polygon, can be measured by using linear units, such as cm, in., ft, km, etc. The circumference of a circle, the length of an arc, also are measured by linear units. A unit that is used to measure the distance between two points, is called linear dimension.
What units are used to express distance?
metre
What are the Sl units of distance?
There area many units used for measurement of the distances .But , the S.I unit od distance is meters ( m ) .
What two units are used to measure distance in space?
Lightyears and miles
What is the units used to measure the distance of stars to the earth?
light years
What are two metric units commonly used for distance?
Meters and Kilometers
In terms of distance what is a million million units?
It depends on what it of distance is being used. A million million kilometres is 6684 astronomical units, which is the distance travelled by light in 3.3 million seconds, or 5½ weeks.
What is used to measure distance between stars?
Light year or astronomical units
What term is used to measure the distance at sea?
nautical mile
What is for measuring length or distance in science?
For measuring length/distance, meter is used. Other units are km / cm/ mm.
How are the distances measured in space?
There are two main units of distance used for measuring space distances, they are solar units and light years
Why are units pounds feet and gallons used in science?
In olden days, they were used for measuring mass, distance and volumes. Nowadays, these units are not used in science anywhere in the world except in the US.
What are the alternative units used to measure values of energy?
The official (international) unit for energy is the joule. Other units frequently used include the calorie, the electron-volt. In general, by the definition of work (which is basically energy) as force x distance, any product of units of force and distance can also be used, for example the foot-pound.
