Question

List the submultiples and multiple units of length, mass, and time with respect to real-life situations. How are these units are related to S I unit of the above mentioned physical quantity?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of physical quantities namely the fundamental and the derived quantities. Fundamental quantities are independent quantities on which derived quantities depends on. Length, mass and time are examples of fundamental quantities.

The SI unit of length is meters. A meter is a multiple unit. Its submultiple units are centimetres (10⁻²metres), kilometres (10³metres), decimetres (10⁻¹metres) etc

The SI unit of mass is kilogram (kg). The only sub multiple unit used in real-life situation is grams.

1 kg = 100 grams

The SI unit of time is seconds. The multiple units are the minutes, hours, weeks, days and years.

1 minute = 60 seconds

1 hour = 3600 seconds

1 day = 24 * 3600 = 86,400 secs
