Good luck!

8
WHAT’S NEW

Activity. Read the following situation carefully. Answer the questions that follow.

Lea wanted to sell Pork Caldereta according to her grandmother’s recipe. She
asked her mother the exact measurement of each ingredient like how much salt
would she add to the menu, etc. Her mother told her that she had only
estimated them. So, Lea got tablespoon, teaspoon, measuring cup and scale.
She measured the quantity before her mother added them to the cooking pot.
She observed that her recipe were consistent in taste.

Guide Questions:

1. What do you think is the purpose of the measuring tools?


2. Why do you think the exact numerical measurement is important?
3. How can you convert one unit of these physical quantities to another unit?

9
WHAT IS IT

In the previous activity, it brings you to clearly understand some measurement


standards used by people in their daily activities. With such measuring tools used, it
makes sense that you ensure accurateness.

Measurements are often taken for granted. We sometimes do not appreciate


its importance or how it plays in our lives. It is necessary to have standard units of
measurements for the reason of giving assurance of a safety products or results.

Physics is a science of measurement. The things which are measured are


called physical quantities which are defined by describing how they are to be
measured. Measurements of physical quantities are expressed in terms of units, which
are standardized values. There are two major systems of units used in the world: SI
units (also known as the metric system) and English units (also known as the
customary or imperial system). English units were historically used in nations once
ruled by the British Empire and are still widely used in the United States. The acronym
“SI” is derived from the French Système International. Note that the metric system is
also the standard system agreed upon by scientists and mathematicians. This system
uses:

The seven SI base units, which are comprised of:

• Length - meter (m)


• Time - second (s)
• Amount of substance - mole (mole)
• Electric current - ampere (A)
• Temperature - kelvin (K)
• Luminous intensity - candela (cd)
• Mass - kilogram (kg)

10
Moreover, the fundamental SI units of meter, kilogram and second, used other
units as well such as milliliters and nanoseconds where the prefixes like milli and nano
denote multipliers of the basic units based on various powers of ten. Prefixes for the
various powers of ten and abbreviation are listed in the Table below.
Power of Ten Abbreviation

Prefix Multiple Symbol

yotta 1024 Y
zetta 1021 Z
exa 1018 E
peta 1015 P
tera 1012 T
giga 109 G
mega 106 M
kilo 103 K
hecto 102 H
deca 10 Da
deci 10-1 D
centi 10-2 C
milli 10-3 M
micro 10-6 Mu
Nano 10-9 N
Pico 10-12 P
Femto 10-15 F
Atto 10-18 A
Zepto 10-21 Z
Yotto 10-24 Y

For instance, 10-3m is equivalent to 1 millimeter (mm), and 103 m corresponds


to 1 kilometer (km). Likewise, 1 kilogram (kg) is 103 grams (g) and 1 mega volt (MV) is
106 volts.

With these abbreviations for the fundamental quantities, SI can also be called
MKS system. A decided advantage of this system is the use of powers of ten.

11
Length
When measuring length, the relation between metric and standard units looks
like this:

English Units SI Units

0.039 in 1 millimeter

3.28 ft 1m

1 in 2.54 cm

1 mi 1.609 km

Here, you can see that 1 millimeter is equal to .039 inches and 1 inch is equal
to 25.4 millimeters.

Time
When measuring time, equivalents for each look like:

60 s 1 min

60 min 1h

24 h 1 day

7 days 1 week

4 wks. 1 month

12 months 1 yr.

52 weeks 1 year

1s 1,000 milliseconds

1 millisecond 1,000 microseconds

The SI unit of time is the second, a fundamental unit of the SI.

12
Volume
When measuring volume, the relation between metric and standard units
similarly looks like this:
English Units SI Units
0.03 fl oz 1 mL
2.1 pints 1L
1.06 qt 1L
0.26 gal 1L
Metric Units and their Equivalents
1,000 mL = 1 L 1000 L = 1 m3
1 cm3 = 1mL 1 hectoliter (hL) = 100 L
1 kiloliter = 1,000 L

Mass and Weight


When measuring weight and mass the relation between metric and standard
units looks like this:
English Unit SI Unit
2.202 lb. 1 kilogram
Metric Units and their Equivalents
1 kg = 1,000 g
1 g = 1,000 mg

It is important to note that in science, the metric units of grams and kilograms
are always used to denote the mass of an object rather than its weight.

Temperature
In predominantly metric countries the standard unit of temperature is degrees
Celsius while in countries with only limited use of the metric system, such as the
United States, degrees Fahrenheit is used. This chart shows the difference between
Fahrenheit and Celsius:
To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula: 0F = 0C 1.8 + 32
To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you do the opposite 0C = 0F – 32 / 1.8.

13
There are different ways of expressing the dimension of each fundamental
quantities such as for distance, it can be measured in feet, meters etc. Sometimes, it
is necessary to convert units from one measurement system to another or convert
within a system (for example, from kilometers to meters). A conversion factor is
needed to convert a measurement in one set of units to the same measurement in
another units.
How do you do unit conversion problems?
Some important points to consider:
1. Write the conversion as a fraction (that equals one)
2. Multiply it out (leaving all units in the answer)
3. Cancel any units that are both top and bottom.
Example: 1. Suppose you wish to convert 15.0 inches to centimeters.
Because 1 inch is defined as exactly 2.54 cm, therefore:

15.0 in x 2.54 cm_ = 38.1 cm


1 in

2. Convert 2.5 kilometers/hours to meters/second


2.5 km x 1000 m x 1hr = 41.67 m/s
hr 1km 60min

Note:

To convert to a smaller unit, move decimal point to the right or multiply

To convert to a larger unit, move decimal point to the left or divide

14
Let us solve the following:

1. How many feet are there in 500 cm?

500 cm x __1ft__ = 16.40 ft


30.48 cm
2. How many seconds are there in 5 hours?
5 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds = 18, 000 seconds
1 hour 1 minute
3. How many cubic centimeters are in 2.5 liters?

2.5 L x 1000 cm3 = 2.5 cm3


1L
4. How many grams are in 5 kilograms

5 kg x 1000g__ = 5000 g
1kg
5. How many degrees Celsius is 48-degree Fahrenheit?
0C = (0F – 32) / 1.8
(68 - 32) / 1.8
= 20 0C

15
Sometimes number tends to be very small and large. There is now a
difficulty of reading and writing such numbers. Thus, an exponential form of writing
them is introduced.

A scientific notation is shorthand way of expressing a relatively large and


small numbers.

The general from of a number in scientific notation is:

a ×10n

where 1 ≤ a ≤ 10 and n is an integer. In other words, the number that we


call “a” is multiplied by 10, raised to some exponent n. This number "a" must
not be smaller than 1 and no larger than 10.

• 1.2 ×1014 the positive exponent indicates a large number


• 7.89 × 10-21 the negative exponent indicates a small number

Sample:

Standard Form Scientific Notation

123000000 1.23 x 10 8

0.00000025 2.5 x 10-7
