What type of quantity is measured using cubic units?
Cubic units are units used to measure volume.
True or False?
To convert between cubic units, you must multiply or divide by the normal unit conversion rate.
False.
To convert between cubic units, you must multiply or divide by the 'cubed' conversion rate.
E.g. to convert from cm3 to m3 you must divide by 1003.
What type of units are used to measure area?
Square units are used to measure area.
True or False?
To convert between square units, you must multiply or divide by the 'squared' conversion rate.
True.
To convert between square units, you must multiply or divide by the 'squared' conversion rate.
E.g. to convert from km2 to m2 you must multiply by 10002.
Define the term compound measure.
A compound measure is something calculated using more than one measurement, e.g. speed is calculated using distance and time.
True or False?
Flow rate is an example of a compound measure.
True.
Flow rate is an example of a compound measure.
It combines two measures (volume and time) by looking at the volume of fluid that moves over time, (e.g. cm3 / s).
Define the term population density.
Population density is the measure of how many people there are per unit of area.
True or False?
The units of a compound measure can be used to find the equation needed to calculate it.
True.
You can use the units of a compound measure to find the equation used to calculate it.
For example, speed is often measured in km / h.
Km (kilometres) is a measure of distance and h (hours) is a measure of time, so the calculation for speed is:
True or False?
When using a formula triangle with a compound measure, you can add the two values at the base of the triangle to find the value at the top of the triangle.
False.
When using a formula triangle with a compound measure, you need to multiply the two values at the base of the triangle to find the value at the top of the triangle.
True or false?
Speed is the measure of how much distance changes per unit of time.
True.
Speed is the measure of how much distance changes per unit of time.
Define the term density.
Density is the measure of how heavy something is per unit of volume or area.
True or False?
Density is measured in Pascals (Pa).
False.
