Which of the following identifies a measurement, its SI unit, and the tool most commonly used to measure it?
a) lenght, meter, ruler
b) temperature, degrees fahrenheit, thermometer
c) weight, gram, scale
d) volume, milimeter, meiscus
The answer I chose was d. Am I right?
Nope, it's a.
well, I would pick a) if length were spelled correctly.
Farenheit is not SI
weight is force, gram is mass
meniscus is shape of the surface in a barometer or thermometer
I chose a too
It is A<3
No, the correct answer is actually option a) length, meter, ruler.
To determine the correct answer, let's break down each choice:
a) Length is the measurement being identified, and its SI unit is the meter. The tool most commonly used to measure length is a ruler. This option is correct.
b) Temperature is the measurement being identified, and its SI unit is actually degrees Celsius, not degrees Fahrenheit. The tool most commonly used to measure temperature is a thermometer. This option is incorrect.
c) Weight is the measurement being identified, and its SI unit is actually the newton, not the gram. The tool most commonly used to measure weight is a scale. This option is incorrect.
d) Volume is the measurement being identified. However, the SI unit for volume is actually cubic meter, not millimeter. The tool most commonly used to measure volume is a graduated cylinder, not a "meiscus" (likely meant to be "meniscus"). This option is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is a) length, meter, ruler.
