Mass: kilogram Length: meter Volume: cubic meter (this is not a base unit, since it is derived from the meter)
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.
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.
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).
