An investigator would find that scientists use the meteras a measure of length. This standard can be applied with a prefix to denote multiples or fractions of the standard. Let's look at a couple.
We'd see the term kilometer applied to mean 103 or 1,000 meters. You might measure the distance from, say, Denver, Colorado to Omaha, Nebraska using kilometers. It'd be about 870 kilometers (km).
A meter divided into a hundred equal parts is made up of 100 centimeters, as a centimeter is 10-2 or 1/100th of a meter. If you wished to express the diameter of, say, a United States quarter using this system, you'd say it was approximately 2.4 centimeters (cm) in diameter. Using 1/1000th of a meter (10-3 or a millimeter) to measure that quarter, you'd say it's diameter is about 24 millimeters, or 24 mm.
What else can I help you with?
What unit will you use when measuring length of a door?
inch
What are unit use in measuring length?
square of binomial
What unit scientists use when measuring volume?
The SI unit for volume is the cubic meter: m3
Which is the best unit to use when measuring the length of a car meter or kilometer?
Meter
What are the units scientists use when measuring mass?
In science, the SI unit for mass is Kilograms (Kg)
What tool and unit of measure would you use to measure length?
depends on what item you are measuring
What would be used if you were measuring the length of something in meters of inches?
There is no such measurement. There is either metric measurement or not. Do you mean "fractions" of inches?
What is the SI unit used for measuring length?
When I took physics my teacher always had us use meters when measuring length because that was the unit that all the equations used. If we found a length of only a few centimeters she made us change it to a decimal number with meters as the unit. (ex. 75cm = 0.75m)
What Unit of measurement would be most appropriate for measuring the length of a sofa?
i would use a meter stick
Which unit of measurement would be most appropriate for measuring the length of a car key?
I would use centimeters.
Why scientists use measuring instruments?
Scientists use measuring instruments to accurately quantify, analyze, and record physical quantities such as length, mass, temperature, and time. These instruments help scientists collect precise data, make informed decisions, and validate their hypotheses through empirical evidence. Ultimately, measuring instruments are essential for ensuring the reliability and reproducibility of scientific findings.
What do scientists use a ruler?
Scientists use a ruler to measure the length or size of objects in their experiments or studies. Rulers provide a standardized unit of measurement, allowing scientists to collect and compare data accurately.
