PLEASE HELP, I'm trying to study for a quiz >.< and I don't understand this one question!
A fellow student reports his measurements of time for a speed calculation in minutes. How could he express that calculation using SI base units?
A)convert minutes to hours and redo his calculation
B)keep his calculation as it is
C)convert minutes to seconds and redo his calculation
D)convert minutes to meters and redo his calculations
One second is the SI unit for time.
The answer is (C)
To express time measurements in SI base units, we need to convert the given measurement of time from minutes to seconds. Therefore, the correct answer is:
C) Convert minutes to seconds and redo his calculation.
To answer this question, we need to understand the SI base units and how they relate to the measurement of time. The SI (International System of Units) base unit for time is the second (s).
Now, we are given that the student's measurements of time are in minutes. We want to express the calculation using SI base units.
To convert minutes to seconds and redo the calculation would be the correct approach. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, multiplying the number of minutes by 60 would give the measurement in seconds.
Therefore, the correct answer is C) convert minutes to seconds and redo his calculation.
