meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mol, candela
What are the metric base units that is used for mass length and volume?
Mass: kilogram Length: meter Volume: cubic meter (this is not a base unit, since it is derived from the 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.
How was metric length invented?
The metric system is a system of units for measurement developed in late 18th century in France.It was developed by the chemist Lavoisier to replace the disparate systems of measures then in use with a unified, natural and universal system. In the early metric system there were several fundamental or base units, the meter for length, the gram for weight and the liter for capacity.
Is a millisecond half of a second?
No, a millisecond is not half of a second. A millisecond is 1000th of a second. The prefix milli comes from the metric system and by definition means 1000th of the base unit (in this case seconds).
Which metric prefix is equivalent to 0.01 base unit?
Centi
What matric prefix is used to designate 1000?
The metric system uses differing prefixes to show multiples of ten for base units. To indicate one thousand units, the prefix kilo- is used, as in kilometer, or kilowatt.
How are metric units of measurement used in the laboratory?
base on what you measure to use the metric units.
Is femo a si prefix?
No, "femo" is not a SI prefix. The SI (International System of Units) prefixes are used to denote multiples or fractions of base units in the metric system, such as kilo-, mega-, milli-, etc.
What are the metric base units?
they are base 10 (or the power or ten)
Is the metric system based on units of twelve?
No, the base for the metric system is ten.
Is meters in metric units?
Metre is the SI, or metric, base unit of length.
What is the metric base units of volume?
The meter is the metric base unit for volume, and the cubic meter is the derived unit.
In SI what are used with the names of the base unit to indicate the multiple of ten that is being used with the base in the base unit?
The metric prefix for 10 is deka-. This is similar (but different) from the metric prefix for 1/10 which is deci-
What are the 4 metric base units and what characteristic do they measure?
4 base units each 1 meter in lenght
How do the prefixes in the metric system relate to the base unit?
Every prefix in the metric system denotes a power of 10.
What is the base unit of centi in the metric system?
In the metric system, "centi" is a prefix: it is not a measurement unit of any kind.
