[PDF] conversion of units in physics

Here are some common conversions between units:
  • 1 m = 100 cm = 1,000 mm (millimeters)
  • 1 km (kilometer) = 1,000 m.
  • 1 kg (kilogram) = 1,000 g (grams)
  • 1 N (newton) = 105 dynes.
  • 1 J (joule) = 107 ergs.
  • 1 P (pascal) = 10 Ba.
  • 1 A (amp) = 0.1 Bi.
  • 1 T (tesla) = 104 G (gauss)

  • What are the 4 steps of unit conversion?

    The basic rule is: If you need to convert from a larger unit to a smaller unit, multiply.
    If you need to convert from a smaller unit to a larger unit, divide.
    You will make the number smaller and, as you already know, division is all about making numbers smaller.

  • What is the rule for unit conversion?

    Examples of conversion factors include:

    1 gallon = 3.78541 liters (volume)1 pound = 16 ounces (mass)1 kilogram = 1,000 grams (mass)1 pound = 453.592 grams (mass)1 minute = 60000 milliseconds (time)1 square mile = 2.58999 square kilometers (area)
