the basic measurements of length, volume, and mass are 1 meter, 1 meter³ and 1kilogram.
One 10-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator would equal one meter.
A cube with sides of one meter has a volume of one meter³.
The mass of 1,000 cubic centimeters of water is very close to (and was originally intended to be exactly) one kilograms.
but today a more precise way to define is available in which:
1 meter is defined as the distance traveled by light in 1/3×10⁸ sec.
The weight of a specific platinum-iridium prototype held by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures is defined as 1 kg.
moreover these measurements are man made and are not absolute and therefore many new units of measurement can be defined as long as they are fundamentally same everywhere.

Answer: A,B, and E
Explanation: Just checked I got them right:)
1. A wheelchair ramp. Instead of using lifting force on the wheelchair, You use push or pull force on it.
2. A slide. Instead of throwing down an item, It uses gravitational potential energy make an object "move" down the slide.
3.A screw. It's reducing the force by twisting the screw out of something instead of pulling it out. (Sorry about my bad grammar).
<u>Answer:</u>
<h2>
All the waves are pertubations that propagate (transport) energy.</h2><h2>
</h2>
Nevertheless, they have some differences:
1. Light waves are<u> electromagnetic waves</u>, while sound and water waves are <u>mechanical waves</u>, this is the first and principal difference.
2. Electromagnetic waves can<u> propagate in vacuum</u> (they do not need a medium or material), but mechanical waves obligatory need a material to propagate
3. Light waves are always <u>transversal waves</u>, this means <u>the oscillatory movement is in a direction that is perpendicular to the propagation</u>; but mechanical waves may be both: <u>longitudinal waves</u> (the oscillation occurs in the same direction as the propagation) or transversal waves.
4. Electromagnetic waves propagates at a <u>constant velocity</u> (Light velocity) while the velocity of mechanical waves will depend on the type of wave and the <u>density</u> of the medium or material.
5. <u>Mechanical waves</u> are characterized by the regular variation of a single magnitude, while <u>electromagnetic waves</u> are characterized by the variation of two magnitudes: the electric field and the magnetic field
6. <u>Water waves</u> are 2-dimensional waves, while the <u>light and the sound</u> are tridimensional spherical waves
7. Light waves <u>transports energy in the form of </u><u>radiation</u>, while mechanical waves t<u>ransport energy with </u><u>material</u>
