Base Units Base units are defined units based on an object or event in the physical world: 1. Meter = distance light travels through a vacuum in 1/299, 792, 458 of a second (or 2. 99792458 x 10 -8 seconds) 2. Kilogram = mass of a platinum-iridium cylinder that is stored at constant temperature and humidity
Derived Units made up of a combination of base units: 1. Speed = meters/second 2. Volume = 1. cubic meter (m 3) or cubic centimeter (cm 3) 2. Liter (or cubic decimeter – dm 3) 3. How is this a combination of base units? 3. Density = mass/volume (g/m. L or g/cm 3 )
Using Density and Volume to Find Mass You have a cylinder with a volume of 150 m. L and a mass of 75 g. What is its density? 1. Known values: 1. V = 150 m. L 2. m = 75 g 2. Formula 1. Density = mass/volume = 75 g/150 m. L 2. Density = 0. 5 g/m. L
Problem-Solving If d=m/V, rearrange the formula to solve for m. m = ? If d = m/V, rearrange the foemula to solve for V. V = ? Example Problem (p. 29) Assignment: Practice Problems (p. 29)
