SI: INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM of UNITS (a.k.a. METRIC)
1 CHEM 1711 & 1811 Lecture # 1 7/27/16SI: INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM of UNITS ( METRIC) used universally in science convenient decimal structure quantity : a number and UNITS ; may be measured, calculated, or derived from other quantities JAG height = base UNITS : fundamental UNITS from which all others in the SYSTEM derive SHOW overhead of base SI UNITS mass : quantity of matter (base = kg) representing its inertia; similar to weight, which is a measure of gravity's effect on mass length : quantity of distance (base = m) along a line in 3-D space time : the fourth dimension (base = s) ; other non-SI UNITS include min, h, day, yr, .. temperature : a measure of internal energy in matter (base = K) ; properly not "degrees Kelvin" 0 K is the absolute zero of temp. ; negative K temps.
SI: INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM of UNITS (a.k.a. METRIC) • used universally in science • convenient decimal structure quantity : a number and units ; may be measured, calculated, or derived from other quantities e.g. JAG height = 18.8 base units : fundamental units from which all others in the system …
