Questions & Answers

Q: What are the SI base units?

The SI base units include meter, kilogram, second, Kelvin, mole, ampere, and Candela. These units are used to measure length, mass, time, temperature, quantity, electrical current, and luminous intensity, respectively.

Q: How do you convert between different units of length?

Some common conversion factors for length include: one kilometer equals a thousand meters, one meter equals a hundred centimeters, one mile equals 1.609 kilometers, and one mile equals 5280 feet.

Q: What is the relationship between mass and grams?

In chemistry, mass is typically measured in grams, while in physics, mass is typically measured in kilograms. One kilogram is equivalent to a thousand grams.

Q: How do you convert Celsius to Kelvin and Fahrenheit?

To convert Celsius to Kelvin, you can use the formula Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15. To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula Fahrenheit = 1.8 x Celsius + 32.

Q: What is a mole in chemistry?

A mole represents a quantity in chemistry, similar to how a dozen represents a specific number (12). One mole is equal to 6.02 x 10^23, also known as Avogadro's number.

Q: How is work defined and measured?

Work is defined as force multiplied by displacement. It is measured in units of joules, which is equal to one newton times one meter.

Q: What is power and how is it measured?

Power is the rate at which energy is transferred. It is measured in units of watts, where one watt is equal to one joule per second.

Q: What is the relationship between electric potential and voltage?

Electric potential is the ratio of potential energy to charge, while voltage is the electric potential difference between two points. Both electric potential and voltage are measured in volts.
