What is the list of prefixes from lowest to highest for bytes?
The official SI prefixes for multiples have been altered to apply to bytes, where computers have used increments of 1024 (210) rather than 1000 as other metric uses do. The amended names are as follows:
Bit = 1 binary digit
Byte = 8 bits
Kibibyte = 1024 bytes
Mebibyte = 1024 kibibytes = 220 bytes or 1048576 bytes
Gibibyte = 1024 mebibytes = 230 bytes
Tebibyte = 1024 gibibytes = 240 bytes
Pebibyte = 1024 tebibytes = 250 bytes
Exbibyte = 1024 pebibytes = 260 bytes
Zebibyte = 1024 exbibytes = 270 bytes
Yobibyte = 1024 zebibytes = 280 bytes
(Unofficially, the term "brontobibyte" is 1024 yottabytes or 290 bytes)

How much gram is a 50 g butter?
"g" is the unit symbol for grams. Therefore, 50 g of butter is the same as 50 grams.
Each type of measurement in the metric system is?
Each type of measurement in the metric system is based on a decimal system where units are related by powers of 10. The three main types of measurements in the metric system are length (meter), mass (gram), and volume (liter). These measurements provide a standardized way to quantify and compare physical quantities.
How many liters are there in 1.5 kL?
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). Liters are three places to the right of Kiloliters. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the right. You will get 1.5 kL = 1,500 L.
What is the correct metric unit of measurement for weight?
newton
Technically speaking weight is measured in newtons, but newtons are used to measure force. Weight in the scientific sense is the force a body exerts due to the effect of gravity on it's mass. Gravity on earth has an accelerating effect of roughly ten metres per second per second. So weight is mass, in kilograms, multiplied by ten. Newtons are a derived unit made up of kilogram metres per second per second.
In everyday use weight is taken as a synonym for mass; so recipes, people, buses, etc. are weighed in kilograms.
There is no SI unit for torque. Torque uses a compound unit such as Nm in the SI system.

How many metric ton is 1 million bags of cement?
Assuming each bag of cement weighs 50 kg (0.05 metric tons), 1 million bags of cement would be equivalent to 50,000 metric tons (1 million bags * 0.05 metric tons).
The metric system is based on what substance?
The metric, or SI, system has seven base units, from these seven all other units are derived.
Length- metre (m).
Time- second (s).
Mass- kilogram (kg).
Temperature- kelvin (K).
Electric current- ampere (A).
Luminous intensity- candela (cd).
Amount of substance- mole (mol).
The SI (systemme internationale) or international system for measuring temperature is the centigrade scale. The centigrade degree or "Celsius" as it is more commonly referred to after its founder is based on the freezing and boiling temperatures of water. Zero degrees is the freezing point of water and one-hundred degrees is the boiling point of water. The Kelvin Scale is also commonly used in science when working with gases using the Ideal Gas Law equation.
1200 km = 1 200 000 m
To convert from km to m, multiply by 1000.
What is one part in a cocktail in the metric system?
usually one part for cocktails means one ounce or a four-count with a pouring lid. in the metric system you use the mililiter and 1 ounce equals about 29 mililiters.

How many millimeters are in decimeter?
Milliliters measure volume, and decimeters measure length. You can't convert from one unit to the other.
The SI unit of electrical energy, in fact, any form of energy, together with work and heat, is the joule.
Which is not a unit of measurment in the metric system?
A cubit
Yeah, that is a unit that is not only not an international system, it is as far as I know an archaic and poorly defined unit that is not currently in use anywhere.
Technically, the question is poorly worded because we are asked to compare a unit with a system of units. Since no system of units consists of just one unit, the answer to the question is any unit of measurement (including one that is part of the international system of units) is not the international system of units.
So if the questioner is asking for a currently used system of units that is other than the international system, there are probably many such systems. Any system other than the metric system will do. The one I am familiar with is the English system, also known as the FPS (foot-pound-second) system.
The meter is the international unit of length. It is equal to 100 centimeters or 1000 millimeters. You can see how long it is on a measuring tape. It is a bit more than the typical length of a step taken by an adult.
A metre is 39.370 inches, so just over one yard (3 feet)
Why is the metric system important to science?
In an absolute sense, it isn't. It's just another form of measurement.
But it is now the most common measuring system used throughout the world.
The above answer is wrong. It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to science as it is a standardised and regulated set of measurements without which it is difficult to deal with very large and very small quantities.
A tragic example is the loss of the Mars Observer which went out of control because one group of engineers (the guys who designed the propulsion system) used one system of units and another group (the guys who calculated the flight parameters and the fuel to burn to get the spacecraft into orbit around Mars) used another set of units.
