Metres and litres most parts of the world. And temperature is Kelvins, though Celsius is used for weather.
There's also volts, watts, amperes, joules, pascals, maxwells, webers, bels - you want to measure it, there's an appropriate unit.

Could you show the derivation of elastic strain energy per unit volume?
U= vol metric integral1/2(stress* strain)dxdydz
What is a field map?
A field map could show field boundaries and be of a scale 1:25 000. - popular with walkers in the UK. It could also be a map drawn to show plant, mineral and animal distribution in a small area.
How would a map scale that covers a large distance differ from a map scale that covers a small distance?
A small scale map covers a large area, but with less detail due to lack of space on the map. A large scale map covers a smaller area, but in much more detail. A small scale map may show the whole of the UK motorway system, and major roads. A large scale map may show the details of farms, villages, and physical features in great detail.
Would A map scale 1S5000 be better for showing city streets than a map of scale 1S500000?
A map scale of 1 to 5000 would show about a mile of city in a foot of map space. That is good enough to show the typical 10 - 16 streets per mile found in many cities. A scale of 1 to 500000 would show 100 miles in a foot wide map. You could show Baltimore and Washington on the same page. This would not allow showing any small or medium sized streets.

What kind of graph do you use for time?
Most graphs use two scales: a horizontal scale and a vertical scale. What is on the scales depends on what the graph is to be used for. For example: the vertical scale could show distance travelled, while the horizontal scale could show the time.
What is the Purpose of a scale map?

How many inches on a metric ruler?

What does the y-axis and x-axis represent?
On a graph, the bottom line running horizontally along the border could by the X scale and show distance travelled. The vertical line on the left border could be the Y scale and show time. Using these co-ordinates any time/distance can be marked (plotted) on the graph.
How are ratios and scale factors different?
Ratios show the information of the side lengths scale factors show the information of how they are related
