What else can I help you 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
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 are the base units for mass volume and leghth?
The base unit for mass in the International System of Units (SI) is the kilogram (kg). For volume, the base unit is the cubic meter (m³), although liters (L) are commonly used in practice. The base unit for length is the meter (m). These units serve as the foundational measurements from which other derived units are created.
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
How do you convert a given unit to larger unit and its answer?
You have to multiply by the conversation ratio.
What a base unit?
A base unit is a unit of measurement on which other units are based.
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'.
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.
How is smaller to largest units?
That depends on what type of unit you are talking about (such as length, mass, time, etc.); but generally, a base unit is used (for instance, the meter for length), then prefixes (such as kilo, mega, Giga, Tera..., milli, micro, nano, pico...) are attached to create larger and smaller derived units.
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.
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.
What is the base unit of mass?
The mass is obviously a base unit. From mass we can derive many units like momentum, force etc. But we cannot derive the unit of mass from any other unit. So, it's a base unit. Technically, mass is not a unit. In the most commonly used systems of units, MKS and cgs, units of mass (kilograms and grams, respectively), are base units.
