Why do you think scientists use the metric system even though the US does not?
The SI system is the international standard, if scientists want to be understood, and taken seriously, on the world stage they need to use the SI system.
What is the basic unit of weight in the metric system?
Note that weight actually refers to force exerted due to the acceleration of gravity and the mass of an object. It is commonplace to see the terms weight and mass used interchangeably, though.
The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram. The original metric system specified the gram as the base mass unit.
The SI base unit of force, which technically would be the correct unit of weight is the Newton (kg*m/s2). The dyne is another 'metric' unit of force (g*cm/s2).
What is 190 cm in feet x inch?
6 feet and 2.76 inches
1 foot = 12 inches
1 foot = 30.48 cm
190 cm:
= 190 cm * 1 foot/30.48 cm = 6.23 ft
0.23 ft:
= 0.23 ft * 12 inches/1 foot = 2.76 inches
What is the fundamental unit of mass in the metric system?
The fundamental unit is the gram. However the standard unit (SI) used is the kilogram (1000 grams).
AnswerThe terms 'fundamental unit' or 'standard unit' are not used in SI. The correct term is 'base unit', and the base unit for mass is the kilogram.
How many meters of edging will be needed to surround a circular garden if the radius is 4 meters?
Approx 25.13 metres.
What are the benefits of using a metric conversion calculator online?
A metric conversion calculator can make the comparison between metric and U.S. Standard units much easier to understand and much faster than doing the work by hand.
What is the metric unit of electricity?
There is no "unit of electricity" metric or otherwise.
There are units of measurement for electric charge (coulombs), potential (volts), current (amperes), energy (joules) and power (watts).
What is the metric term for million?
1 000 000 metres is 1 megametre.
0.000 001 metres is 1 micrometre.
How to convert Us gallons to Canadian gallons?
Formula: US gallons x 0.832 = Imperial ('Canadian') gallons
By unit of length and distance and conversion ,we can say that
1 km =1000 m
What is 3 meters and 30 centimeters th same as in centimeters?
3 metres 30 cm = 330 cm
1 metre = 100 centimetres.. The "centi" means one hundredth.
How do you use a GBC Binding System Image Maker 2000?
Hi, I found a very helpful step-by-step on comb-binding here: http://www.abcoffice.com/how-to-comb-bind.htm It wasn't for the "Image Maker 2000" specifically, but it helped me use ours in a matter of minutes. Hope it helps! :)

Basic unit of weight in the metric system equal to 0.35 ounces?
In the metric system, 0.35 ounces is equal to 9.92233 grams. In kilograms, this would be equal to 0.00992233 kilograms. The kilogram is the basic unit of weight in the metric system.
Meters per second . I don't think there's a "name" for that particular derived unit.(m/s2)
Which is the functional unit of the metric system?
I have no idea what you mean with "functional unit". The SI has units to measure lots of different things; basically there are seven base units (such as the meter, the second, and the kilogram), and several dozen derived units, i.e., units derived from the base units, for example meters/second for speed.
What is the SI unit for the electric charge?
The Coulomb. If 1 Coulomb is transmitted per second this is 1 Ampere
