  • Which SI base unit is used to measure length?
    The SI base unit for length is the meter (m).
  • Which SI base unit is used to measure time?
    The SI base unit for time is the second (s).
  • How are SI base units and derived units related in scientific measurements?
    SI base units are the fundamental units for physical quantities, while derived units are formed by combining base units according to mathematical relationships, such as area (m²) and volume (m³).
  • What is the SI base unit for temperature?
    The SI base unit for temperature is the kelvin (K).
  • List three examples of SI derived units and explain how they are formed from SI base units.
    Examples of SI derived units include: area (square meters, m², formed by multiplying meters by meters), volume (cubic meters, m³, formed by multiplying meters by meters by meters), and speed (meters per second, m/s, formed by dividing meters by seconds).
  • What is the SI base unit for measuring the amount of a substance?
    The SI base unit for the amount of a substance is the mole (mol). This unit is fundamental in chemistry for quantifying particles like atoms or molecules.
  • Which SI base unit is used to measure electrical current?
    The SI base unit for electrical current is the ampere (A). It is commonly represented by a capital 'A' in scientific notation.
  • How is the perimeter of a rectangular classroom calculated using SI units?
    The perimeter is found by adding the lengths of all sides, typically measured in meters (m). For a rectangle, this is 2 times the length plus 2 times the width.
  • What is the formula for calculating the area of a classroom and what are the units?
    The area is calculated by multiplying the length by the width of the classroom. The units for area are square units, such as square meters (m²) or square feet (ft²).
  • How do you determine the volume of a cube using SI units?
    The volume is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of the cube, all measured in meters. The resulting unit for volume is cubic meters (m³).
