What does the Doppler shift in starlight give us?
It tells us whether a star (or galaxy, or other object) is moving towards us, or away from us; and how fast.
How do you give the best unit to measure a helicopter?
It depends on whether you want to measure is length, mass, fuel efficiency, lifting power etc.
What property of a substance does the pH meter measure?
It measures whether a substance is acidic or basic.
Why can't we rely on our five senses to describe and measure the weather?
because we need to measure temperature and precipitaion to describe whether , that we cannot do with our five senses
What metric unit would you use to measure your mass weight?
It depends on whether you want to measure mass or weight so your question needs to be more specific.
How many hours and minutes are in 585 minutes?
The answer depends on whether the question refers to 585 seconds, days, years or some other measure.
How many hours and minutes are 125?
The answer will depend on the units for 125. It is not clear whether you meant 125 minutes, days or years or some other measure.
How many yards in one acre in mp?
None.A yard is a measure of distance in 1-dimensional space. An acre (whether in MP or anywhere else in the world), is a measure of area in 2-dimensional space. The two measure different things and, according to the basic laws of dimensional analyses, conversion from one to the other is not valid.None.A yard is a measure of distance in 1-dimensional space.

What is the conversion rate of Malaysian cubic meter to Indian meter?
There is no conversions rate. A cubic metre (whether Malaysian or not) is a measure of volume whereas a metre (whether Indian or not) is a measure of distance. The two measure different things and, according to the basic rules of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
How many hours is 156 miles?
Hours is a measure of time, miles is a measure of distance. You can't directly convert them. If you travel at a specific speed, you can use the formula distance = speed x time. Solving for time, you get time = distance / speed. - Of course, the results will vary, depending on whether you go in a car, in an airplane, or by foot.
What metric unit is a can measured in?

What is 100 cube in mm?
The question cannot be answered.There are no units associated with the 100 so it is not possible to tell if it is a measure of distance, simply a number or a measure of some other characteristic.If it is a measure of distance, there is no way to know whether the question means 100 microns or 100 light years or some other unit.Also, whatever the nature of the 100 (measure of length, pure number, measure of something else), the answer cannot be in millimetres - which is a measure of length in ONE DIMENSION, not a cubic measure.
How many acres is 200 x 830?
It depends on whether the measurements given are inches, feet, miles, or metres, kilometres or some other measure of distance.
What does the Doppler shift in starlight give us?
It tells us whether a star (or galaxy, or other object) is moving towards us, or away from us; and how fast.
Is grams smaller than seconds?
Grams and seconds are two completely different units of measure. Grams measure weight and seconds measure time. Therefore, there is no way of telling whether one is smaller than the other. However, grams are smaller than kilograms and seconds are smaller than minutes. ;)
How do you convert meters to KHz and what is 300 meters in KHz?
You do not. A metre is a measure of distance, a kiloHertz is a measure of frequency. The two measure different things and it makes no sense to convert from one to the other without additional information - for example: whether you are talking about electromagnetic waves, or sound waves, or waves in the ocean or whatever.
What do you use to measure a truck?
Well, it sort of depends on what you're measuring, exactly. If it's distance-based dimension, whether it be height, width, length, wheelbase, etc., a simple tape measure is normally used. For weight, you'd need a truck scale.
