What else can I help you with?
What tools and units would you use to measure a soccer field with the metric and English system?
To measure a soccer field in the metric system, you would use a metric measuring tape or a measuring wheel. The units used could be meters or centimeters. In the English system, you would use a tape measure or a measuring wheel calibrated in feet or yards. The units used would be feet or yards.
Why would the English system of units be more useful if a foot contained 10 inches?
If a foot contained 10 inches, calculations involving lengths could be simpler as measurement conversion would be easier and more intuitive. It would also lead to more uniformity in the system, making it more user-friendly for practical applications.
Why do you measure using standard units instead of measuring with any kind of units?
Standard units are more commonly used than non standard units. Also, many of the conversion factors, such as the Universal Gravitational Constant or the Speed of Light, are in standard units and, if your measurements were not in appropriate units, you would need to convert.
What are some facts about SI units?
SI is an international standard system of units. Most people would call it the metric system. SI has standards for the kilogram and meter that can be referenced, to make and calibrate measuring devices.
What does the SI unit stand for?
http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/sipm.html The International System of Units (SI) or Systeme Internationale * the meter for distance, * the kilogram for mass, * the second for time, * the ampere for electric current, * the kelvin for temperature, * the mole for amount of substance, and * the candela for intensity of light.
What would you say to convince people to use a different system of standard units?
To Metric: The English system is only used by basically one country and is unnecessarily complicated! The metric system uses tens and its multiples, very simple! To English: Be different! Don't go with the flow of the world. English system is radical and AMERICAN!
Why there is need of standard units of measurement?
Standard units of measurement allow other people to know what you mean when you use those units. To make this recipe you need four ounces of butter. OK, we know how much that is. If we had no standard units, it would be very hard to accurately convey exactly how much butter the recipe requires. And then what would your cookies taste like?

What is metric and imperial units?
Metric and Imperial units are units of measurements based on different initial standards. They include such things as length, weight (mass), time etc. The standard units are given, all other units in the system are derived from the standard units to ensure compatibility within the system Standard units in the metric system are; (not a complete list) Length: metre Mass: kilogram time : second In the imperial system the units would be; Length: yard (since 1958) Mass: pound Time : second There are conversion tables to change one system to another. For instance you can say 30 mph is equal to 42.28 kph and both parties will know the speed if they use different standards.
Diameter of a quarter which unit would you use?
I would find a ruler, a tape measure, or a micrometer, and use it to measure the maximum distance between any two points on the quarter's circumference. Having that number, I would then examine the tool to determine what system of units forms the basis of its graduations. If that system is any other than the English system of units, I would then apply the appropriate conversion factor that relates the English units of length to those of the system indicated on the tool.

How many standard units are there?
Without knowing the specific subject or sub-category of that subject it is not possible to give a numeric answer.There are several systems of measurement each with different standard units. The most commonly used is the SI system, however, all rely on defined units and others that are derivedfrom these.Defined units would be for such things as mass, length and time.Derived units would be area, volume and speed.These are only examples.There are also units with no physical quantity which are used in certain areas which are purely comparative.An example would be a persons IQ for instance
What unit is pressure measured?
Pressure is often measure in units of force per area. In the standard system of units, the SI, that would be Newton / meter2 - this unit is also called Pascal. Other commonly used units are bar (equal 100,000 Pascal), and atmosphere (the atmospheric pressure under standard conditions - close to one bar).
Describe the importance of standard system of measurement?
If I offered to sell you gold at a price of 100 dollars per glunk, would you buy some from me? Perhaps not if the guy along the street is selling it at 99 dollars per doinck. Perhaps you would demand a standard system of measurement?
What are the measurement units that are derived?
Speak English to me, if you would please.
Why do you need standard units in science?
Standard units provide a universal way for everyone to understand the qualitative value of a number. If everyone decided to use different units, there would be no practical way to share information with other people.
