Metric System - explained simply 

I’m here because America is one of three countries that use the imperial system the rest of the world uses metric so it’s just common sense to learn this for when I travel

Am I the only one watching this on their own accord 😞

Help me please, I’m being held hostage in my science class and forced to watch this video.

My teacher is making see this

Americans be like: how many football fields Is a kilometer?

Long story short in order to make it simple: ALL units are related, conversion is simple, no confusing numbers and there is no conversion error. This is all the opposite in imperial. - Length - 1cm = 10mm 1meter = (10 decimeter; not often used) = 100cm = 1000mm 1km = 1000meters; you can convert the rest on your own - Volume - 1000 mililiters = 1 liter - Weight - 1000 grams = 1 kilogram 1 metric ton = 1000kg - Temps - 0°C = 273°K = freezing point of water 100°C = 373°K = Boiling point of water -273°C = 0°K = lowest temperature in the universe Convert to metric? You have to know what X in imperial in Y metric is. Google it. Then multiply that X number with Y number. Example: 1 inch in cm = 2,54cm. 5 inches in cm? 5 x 2,54 = 12,7 cm. Convert to imperial? Basically above but in reverse. Example 1cm in inches: 0,393701 inches. 5cm in inches? 5 x 0,393701 = 1,9685 inches.

Why does this video not explain the relationship between linear and volumetric measurement to weight. This is so simple and is the true beauty of the metric system.A cube of 10cm X 10cm X 10cm contains 1,000 cubic cm or 1 litre. 1 litre of water weighs 1 kg. Therefore a cube 1 metre X 1 metre X 1 metre Contains 1,000 litres - 1,000 litres of water weighs 1metric tonne.

who else got forced to watch this ?

Can't believe America is still unable to adopt metrics system!! 🙄

I don’t think the liter is in the base universal system because it isn’t needed as 1L = 1dm^3 = 0.001 m^3 The 7 base units are - kg for mass - m for distance - s for time - K for temperature - mol for matter quantity - A for electric current - cd for light intensity And any other measurement can be written as a product of these units for example for speed we use m s^-1

thanks!!

In metric, one millliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade - which is one percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighting the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the Imperial system, the answer to "How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?" is "Are you joking me?" because you can't directly relate any of those quantities.

wow this a great video bringing the world together as one just like marvel end game

Its good to you to lern

This is fun to whatch and also help full

Finally a video that just explains the ideas instead of crying about America not using it for 5 minutes first

Plz make the video of nervous system

I am forced to watched this...

Thank you. This was very helpful. It help me finish my homework!

are you here for school

Watching after 7 years 😮

Me too

Ok, but where can I buy it?

Amazing

I am being forced to watch this :*(

Metric system not accepted some country such as america,now universal system is more sciencetific wich is in book all nature moves,with natural units, amazon.in

Its good to lern

isn't it Celsius for temperature?

Good vid

If that is so, then why is the Worlds circumference 40,075km and not 40,000km???

Fellas i know you are being forced to watch this but trust me imperial is really fucking anoying to use

Ud too

Thank you for pronouncing kilometre properly. And most people don't need or use factors of 10 and 100, just 1000.

I am watching this video for myself because i love study

Thanks

Thank u this helped me a lot I watched this after I did my home work. THANKS!!!!!!!!! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😁

Is that all it is?? Or is it more complex?

Im here for science class so I hate this video because I hate school

no

john wilkins 1668

is shame US not in metric system ????

Honestly didnt learn anything. It was just a history lesson

😯😯😯😯🤤🤤😍😍😆😉😊

thinking the metric system is the best unit of measurement is a prime example of being dumb and sounding smart

easy

How can they claim the metric measurement is a universe thing??? Just imagine another planet, bigger x2 of the earth, people 2x bigger than us and they also invent 1m long but hey!!!! For us is 2m long what for them is 1m 🤔........ I still don’t believe that out there in the universe the metric system is the same.

how does the fucking metric system work?

My science class is FORCING me to watch this someone please send help

im also being forced to watch this lmao

written book on more scientific unit book all evolution in one unit on Amazon in send by email written coment box decimal nature

Does not help at all

Skip the life story and get to the point

I was expecting something a little more comprehensive and *gasp* helpful?

英語分かりません

Dis sucks Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

So blah I would rather watch bill nye, GAY!
