Answer:
Firstly they are, by design, easy to use in most scientific and engineering calculations; you only ever have to consider multiples of 10. If I’m given a measurement of 3.4 kilometres, I can instantly see that it’s 3′400 metres, or 0.0034 Megametres, or 3′400′000 millimetres. It’s not even necessary to use arithmetic, I just have to remember the definitions of the prefixes (“kilo” is a thousand, “megametre” is a million, “milli” is a thousandth) and shift the decimal point across to the left or the right. This is especially useful when we’re considering areas, speeds, energies, or other things that have multiple units; for instance,
1 metre^2 = (1000millimetre)^2 = 1000000 mm^2.
If we were to do an equivalent conversion in Imperial, we would have
1 mile^2 = (1760 yards)^2
and we immediately have to figure out what the square of 1760 is! However, the fact that SI is based on multiples of 10 has the downside that we can’t consider division by 3, 4, 8, or 12 very easily.
Secondly they are (mostly) defined in terms of things that are (or, that we believe to be) fundamental constants. The second is defined by a certain kind of radiation that comes from a caesium atom. The metre is defined in terms of the second and the speed of light. The kelvin is defined in terms of the triple point of water. The mole is the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12. The candela is defined in terms of the light intensity you get from a very specific light source. The ampere is defined using the Lorentz force between two wires. The only exception is the kilogram, which is still defined by the mass of a very specific lump of metal in a vault in France (we’re still working on a good definition for that one).
Thirdly, most of the Imperial and US customary units are defined in terms of SI. Even if you’re not personally using SI, you are probably using equipment that was designed using SI.
Answer:
Kinetic energy
Explanation:
When a pendulum is swinging about its mean position, the total energy is conserved.
At the mean position, the kinetic energy is maximum but the potential energy is zero.
At the extreme position, the potential energy is maximum but the kinetic energy is zero.
I think this is because the particles don't know or care about each other,
and they act completely without any peer pressure. The direction in which
any one particle vibrates is completely random, and there is no connection
or influence among the particles. That means that any direction is just as likely
as any other direction for the next vibration, and they all wind up vibrating in
different directions. There is a tiny tiny tiny tiny chance that all of them could
vibrate in the same direction for just an instant; if that ever happened, the rock
would suddenly jump up in the air. That's actually true, but the chance is so tiny
that it hasn't ever happened yet. In fact, the chance is so tiny, that when scientists
do their calculations of particle vibrations, they assume that the chance is zero,
and that makes the calculations simpler.
