Do scientists use English system or the metric system of measurement?
Scientists primarily use the metric system of measurement in their work due to its standardized units and ease of conversion. The metric system is based on powers of ten, making calculations simpler and more accurate. The English system, also known as the Imperial system, is less commonly used in scientific research due to its lack of consistency and standardized units.
What are the equivalent English units to metric and vice versa?
English (or imperial) units are things like:- Pint/gallon for volume Inch/foot for length Ounce/pound for weight (there are more) Metric units are:- litre for volume metre for length kilogram for weight
How long is 6mm in imperial units?
6 millimeters is a metric unit. When converted to imperial units 6 millimeters is equal to a little less than one-forth of an inch. 6 millimeters is preferred due to to the measurement being more exact.
Why are millimeters more accurate than centimeters?
Because they are smaller units of measurement.
Why do you collect quantitative measurements in metric units in science and medicine?
It is a more logical system, where everything is divisible by 10. With other units, everything is arbitrary.
