standard units of measurement with few examples
Answers
Answer:
For example: A ruler is a foot long and usually has inch and centimeter marks. A meter stick is a meter long and usually has foot, inches, and centimeter marks. Scales (depending on what type they are) use pounds, kilograms, ounces, or the like.
Example: the meter, kilogram and second (together with a few other units) together make up the "SI" Metric System of Measurement. Example: the inch, foot, yard and mile are the units of length in the US Standard System of Measurement.
There are seven base units in the SI system:
the kilogram (kg), for mass.
the second (s), for time.
the kelvin (K), for temperature.
the ampere (A), for electric current.
the mole (mol), for the amount of a substance.
the candela (cd), for luminous intensity.
the meter (m), for distance.
