Basic Units SICGSBE Length [L] meter (m) centimeter (cm) foot (ft) Mass [M]kilogram (kg) gram (g) slug (sl) Time [T]second (s) second (s) second (s) Dimensions All the other units are derived units. Example: Speed can be expressed with mph (miles per hour, or mi / h). It is the unit of length divided by time (L / T).
Unit Conversion Can't mix units when adding or subtracting - Need to convert 18 km + 5 mi is not 23 Can always multiply by 1 1 km =1000 m 1 = (1 km/1000m) Can cancel units algebraically
Unit Conversion Example 1 Convert 80 mi to km. Example 2 Convert 60 mi/h to km/s, and m/s. Example 3 Convert 60 mi/h to ft/s. 1 mi = 5280 ft 1 mi = km 1 m = ft
Unit Conversion Example 4 You are driving on R33 near Logan with a speed of m/s. The speed limit there is 65 mph. Will you get a ticket because you are speeding? Example 4 You are driving on R33 near Logan with a speed of m/s. The speed limit there is 65 mph. Will you get a ticket because you are speeding?
Unit Conversion Example 5 CLICKER! Convert ft/min into meters per second. 1) m/s 2) m/s 3) m/s 4) m/s 5). 169 m/s 6) m/s 7) m/s
Convert ft/min into meters per second m/s m/s m/s m/s m/s m/s m/s m/s 1 mi = 5280 ft 1 mi = km 1 m = ft ANSWER!

DIMENSIONS Length: L Mass: M Time: T Examples: 1). Speed: unit (mi/h). Dimension: [L/T] 2). Area : unit (ft 2 ).Dimension: [L 2 ] 3). Acceleration: Unit (m/s 2 ).Dimension: [L/T 2 ] 4). Force:Unit (kg. m/s 2 ).Dimension: [ML/T 2 ]
DIMENSIONS Length: L Mass: M Time: T Dimensions of left and right side of an equation must be the same. Example: x = ½ vt 2 L = (L/T) (T 2 ) = LT [Dimensions at left and right are not the same. WRONG equation.] Example: x = ½ vt L = (L/T) (T) = L [Dimensions at left and right are the same. CORRECT equation.]
