Question

i need help.

Answer 1

the list is pretty long

inch, foot, yard, mile (length)
ounce, pound, ton (weight)
ounce, cup, pint, quart, gallon (volume)
fagrenheit, kelvin, rankine (temp)
ounce-force, pound-force (force)
ft/s2, g, mi/(h-s) (accelaration)
foot2, mile2, acre (area)
ounce/gallon, pound/foot3, pound/inch3 (density)
pound-feet/minute, pound-feet/second (power)
foot3/hour, /minute, /second (flow)


etc.. wouldnt it be easier to ask which are units of measure in the metric system

Answer 2

Most of the metric system is easy to remember if you go with just the basic principles:

Distances = meters (or metres)
Weights = grams
Fluids = liter (or litres)

In Imperial measurements, you have new names for these as they grow. For example, an inch becomes a foot, a foot becomes a yard, a yard becomes a mile and so on.

In Metric, you use fractions or multiples of the base units I mentioned, and all of these are in units of tens. If you know a bit of latin, you can figure it out easily. The most common ones are:

milli = 1000th
centi = 100th
kilo = 1000 times

So on a metric ruler, you may have 300 millimetres or 30 centimeters, which roughly equals the 12 inches on the imperial ruler.

Here are the commonly used metric names:

Distances:
millimeter, centimeter, meter, kilometer

Weights:
milligrams, grams, kilograms

Fluids:
milliliters, liters, kiloliters

The only exception I know of to this rule is the weight known as a "Metric tonne". A metric tonne is 1000 kilograms. (You would think they would have just used a megagram!)

So if you have a multiple choice test on metric system and what is NOT part of the metric system, this may help identify how to pick the right one.

Answer 3

The kelvin is a metric unit. It is the SI unit for temperature. Celsius is an acceptable metric unit also.

Other base metric units are:
amperes (or amps)
moles
candelas
seconds

Derived metric units are:
hertz
joule
lux
newton
coulomb
ohm
pascal
sievert
volt
watt
