Metric System
• All units are multiples of ten
• Consist of base unit and prefix

SI units
• Internationally agreed upon units
• All scientists use these to measure

Dimensional Analysis
• Simple unit conversions; the idea of dimensional analysis
• Convert 2 feet to inches
• We need a conversion factor, a relationship between the units

Dimensional Analysis
• These both give us a relationship between in. and ft.
• We use D.A. to cancel units

Dimensional Analysis
• The units cancel out leaving only
• Giving us an answer of 24 in.

Dimensional Analysis
• Sometimes our conversion requires more than 1 step.
• Convert 1 Ms to hr.
