Who decided us would go on metric system?
It is a must to go metric. US is the last country in the world that has to go this way. Scroll down to related links and read "THE UNITED STATES AND THE METRIC SYSTEM".
How do you change liquid to gas?
To change the phase of a system from liquid to gas, the total system energy must be increased (heat added) to the point where every atom or molecule has sufficient energy to escape the liquid system.
Is it true a quantity must be divided by multiples of ten when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit?
No. That principle applies for most unit conversions in the metric system, but not for all and it does not apply at all for imperial measurements.
What is the difference in the metric system and what the US uses?
The rest of the world uses the metric system. The United States uses an ancient British system. In the Metric System everything is done on the basis of 10 or a multiple of 10. The basic unit of measurement of length is the meter. A kilometer is 1,000 meters. In weight, the basic unit is a kilogram, and a gram is 1/1,000 of a kilogram. In volume a milliliter is 1/1,000 of a liter. And in the United States, soft drinks have gone over to 2 liter bottles. With the system in the United States a mile is 5,280 feet, 1760 yards, or 320 rods. A rod is 16.5 feet. A yard is 3 feet. A foot is 12 inches. A cup is 8 ounces, a pint 16 ounces, a quart 32 ounces, and a gallon 128 ounces. A square mile is 640 acres. While a square kilometer is 100 hectares. Tremendous resistance exists to using the metric system in the United States. Still, it keeps working its way into our lives. Our electrical system with watts, volts, and kilowatt hours are all metric. Many of our car parts are the same as those used in Europe and Japan. If American Manufacturers want to sell cars outside of the United States, their cars must be built using metric parts. Soon mechanics will only use tools in metric sizes. (Some places will always have tools to fix old cars.) In order to cooperate with our NATO allies, the military has gone over to metric. So the system used in the United States is both a hold over and the Metric system.
What is an adiabotic process?
A change in pressure and volume of a gas when no heat is allowed to enter or escape from the gas is called adiabatic change . For an adiabatic change , the exchange of heat between the gas and the surroundings must be preserved. So the walls of container must be perfectly non conducting.
Why do you use the metric system in class?
You must first think!

To make sense a measurement must always have what 2 things?
A English and Metric System.
What is the amplification of pound in metric system?
If you meant amplification is multiplication factor then you must multiply pounds by 0.453592343 to get to kilogrammes(which is the metric unit of mass).
Why must the oncoming generator on a power system be parralleled at a higher frequency than that of the running system?
If the frequency of the oncoming generator is slightly higher than the system frequency, the phase angle between the system and generator voltages will slowly change at a frequency equal to the difference between system and generator frequencies.
Who decide that the US would go on a metric system if needed?
The Congress decided this, but it is a must to go metric. US is the last country in the world that has to go this way.
To change the compressor on a system containing R-410A you must isolate the compressor then?

What matches a yard in the metric system?
Yard is an obsolete British unit and must be avoided.1 yard equals 0,9144 metre.
Which of the following must be true about a photon with more energy A) it must have a lower frequency B) it must have a higher frequency C) it must have a greater Planck's constant D) it must have a s?
B) higher frequency. Planck's constant doesn't change.
What must change when a sound gets higher?
Wavelength, frequency, and pitch come to mind.
Why must injection molds must be cooled?
because during the injection molding process, the injection mold temperature will get higher and higher. So need cooling system to keep it suitable temperature.
Is it necessary to upgrade your hardware just to install a new operating system?
Not necessarily, though operating systems have higher and higher system requirements as time goes on, and the system must be able to meet those requirements to run the operating system productively.
