Question

Can anyone help me with factor-label method for physics (in pic)

Answer 1

Hello there!

I can help you out with #15 to help get you started/ unstuck! :)

So I see you have your conversion table drawn! Fantastic!

So you start off by putting the GIVEN unit in the first (top) space.

12 g

Next, you put " 1 g " ( 1 gram ) below, and to the right of it. (Diagonal right 1 block).

Why 1 gram? Because the units g will cancel each other out!

So on the box NEXT to your 12 g, put ___kg. This will give you your new unit.

For now, you can search up how many kilograms there are in a gram but it'll be very helpful in the future to have it memorized. :)

Clarification:

"How many kg are there in a g?"

We do this because the bottom says " 1 gram," so since we're converting grams to kilograms, we're converting 1 gram to ___ kilograms.


After filling out your chart, multiply the tops together! Cancel out units, and use a calculator if it's allowed! :)

Summary:

1). Make an empty conversion table.
2). Start with the given unit in the top left space.
3). Move down, and to the right: Put 1 (unit). This will cancel the units out later.
4). Above the 1 (unit), put (???) (new unit).

To find (???) simply search it up. :)

Ex). "How many kg are there in 1 g?"

The units should cancel out on their own. :)

With this, it simply takes practice. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time! :D
