SI Units • There was a need to report data that
could be reproduced by others o Metric system was developed in
1795 o Systeme Internationale d’Unites
• By using one system of units, scientists can readily interpret the results of one another

Conversion Factors • Is a ratio of equivalent
measurements that is used to convert a quantity expressed in one unit to another unit • Will be used to complete your
dimensional analysis hw worksheet

Dimensional Analysis • A problem-solving method that uses the fact
that any number or expression can be multiplied by one without changing its value.
• Also called factor-label method or the unit factor method
• The unit factors are conversion factors o Example any two terms that describe the same or
equivalent “amounts” of what we are interested in o Ex: 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters o 1 meter = 100 centimeters o 1 km = 1,000 meters

• 10 megawatts is equal to how many watts? • 10 MW x 1,000,000 W = 10,000,000 W 1 MW • 20,000 milligrams is equivalent to how many grams? • 20,000 mg x 1g = 20 g 1,000 mg • Convert the height of Mount Everest (8,848 m) into
kilometers • 8,848 m x 1km = 8.848 km or 8.8 km 1,000 m

Precision & Accuracy • Precision is a gauge of how exact a
measurement is o The more significant figures
(reported digits) there are, the more precise the measurement
• Accuracy is the closeness of a measurement to the actual value of what is being measured
