C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Introduction to the
International System of Units (SI)
 The International System of Units,
commonly referred to as the SI, is
the standardized system of
measurement used around the
world.
 It was developed to provide a
consistent and precise way of
quantifying different physical
quantities.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Importance of using standard units for

consistency and precision in science.
 Using standard units is crucial in the field
of science, as it allows for consistent and
reliable measurements. When scientists
and researchers use the same
standardized units, it enables them to
accurately compare data, replicate
experiments, and build upon each other's
work. This consistency and precision is
essential for the advancement of scientific
knowledge.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

7 base SI units and brief definition and description

 Meter (m): The base unit of length in the SI system. It

is defined as the distance traveled by light in a
vacuum over a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a
second.
 Kilogram (kg): The base unit of mass in the SI
system. It is defined by the international prototype of
the kilogram, a platinum-iridium cylinder kept at the
International Bureau of Weights and Measures.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

7 base SI units and brief definition and description

 Second (s): The base unit of time in the SI system. It

is defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of
the radiation corresponding to the transition between
the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the
cesium-133 atom.
 Ampere (A): The base unit of electric current in the
SI system. It is defined as the constant flow of one
coulomb of electrical charge per second.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

7 base SI units and brief definition and description

 Kelvin (K): The base unit of thermodynamic

temperature in the SI system. It is defined as the
fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of
the triple point of water.
 Mole (mol): The base unit of amount of substance in
the SI system. It is defined as the amount of
substance that contains exactly 6.022 × 10^23
elementary entities, which can be atoms, molecules,
ions, or electrons.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Derived SI Units

Derived SI Units

 In addition to the 7 base SI units, there are many other

units that can be derived by combining the base units
in specific ways. These derived units allow us to
measure and quantify a wide range of physical
quantities beyond just the fundamental ones.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Common derived SI units and how they are defined:

 Newton (N): The unit of force, derived from the

base units of mass (kg), length (m), and time (s).
1 N = 1 kg·m/s^2

 Pascal (Pa): The unit of pressure or stress,

derived from the base units of mass (kg), length
(m), and time (s). 1 Pa = 1 N/m^2
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Common derived SI units and how they are defined:

 Watt (W): The unit of power, derived from the

base units of mass (kg), length (m), and time (s).
1 W = 1 J/s

 Joule (J): The unit of energy or work, derived

from the base units of mass (kg), length (m), and
time (s). 1 J = 1 N·m
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Common derived SI units and how they are defined:

 Hertz (Hz): The unit of frequency, derived

from the base unit of time (s). 1 Hz = 1
cycle/s
 Volt (V): The unit of electric potential, derived
from the base units of mass (kg), length (m),
time (s), and electric current (A). 1 V = 1 W/A
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Prefixes and Unit Conversions

 SI system uses a series of prefixes to

indicate the magnitude of a unit.

 These prefixes allow us to express very

large or very small quantities using the
base units.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Prefixes and Meaning

C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Prefixes and Unit Conversions

Example 1: Converting meters to centimeters

 1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)

 To convert 5 meters to centimeters:
 5 m × (100 cm/1 m) = 500 cm
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Prefixes and Unit Conversions

Example 2: Converting kilograms to grams

1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)

To convert 2.5 kilograms to grams:
2.5 kg × (1000 g/1 kg) = 2500 g
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Prefixes and Unit Conversions

Example 3: Converting seconds to

milliseconds

1 second (s) = 1000 milliseconds (ms)

To convert 7.2 seconds to milliseconds:
7.2 s × (1000 ms/1 s) = 7200 ms
