The SI units of measure are any of the units adopted for international use under the " Système International d'Unités (SI)", now employed for all scientific and most technical purposes.

There are seven fundamental units: the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, Kelvin, candela, and mole; and two supplementary units: the radian and the steradian. All other units are derived by multiplication or division of these units without the use of numerical factors

Why do scientist use the SI measurement even though it is no more accurate than the English System?

The SI measurement system is used in science because it is based on a set of standardized units that are more coherent and easier to convert between. The English System has more varied and inconsistent units, making it harder to work with in scientific calculations and experiments. Standardization in SI units also promotes consistency and accuracy in scientific communication and research.


Is the time measured in SI units?

Yes, time is measured in SI units known as seconds (s).


What is the old name for Siemens the unit for electrical conductivity?

Old units for electrical conductivity (EC)SI units of electric resistance and electric conductance are ohm (Ω) and siemens (Si). The unit mho ("ohm" in reverse order) for conductance should no longer be used (1 mho = 1 Si). abohm and abmho are older units from the centimetre-gram-second electromagnetic system. statohm and statmho are from the centimetre-gram-second electrostatic system.see also this forum http://landviser.us/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3&p=19#p19The question is about conductivity, not, as the above answer, conductance. The siemens in the unit of measurement for conductance, whereas the siemens per metre is the unit for conductivity.


In ribosomes measurement what is the unit 'S'?

'S' stands for Svedberg units, which is a measure of the rate of sedimentation during centrifugation. In ribosomes' case, the 'S' unit indicates their sedimentation rate, which can provide information about their size and shape.


What is measuring units with divisions that are powers of ten?

Units with divisions that are powers of ten are called metric units. This system of measurement makes it easier to convert between different units by simply moving the decimal point. Examples include meters, grams, and liters.
