    In Britain we still use both Imperial and Metric systems. We officially use miles for distance. We also still use both Farenheit and Centigrade for temperatures.

    In my point of view, the most important benefit for this system, is the relation between units. I give one exemple :
    1 kilogram is (by definition) the weight of 1 L of water.
    So, there is a direct link between volume and mass.

      It's actually not by definition but close enough.

    Many American claim it’s too complaicated. Even tho you already use it with your money. Cent comes from the latin word ”centi” which mean ”one hundred”. 100 Cent= 1 dollar 100 Centimeter =1 meter… so easy

    What is stupid about the imperial system is not the size of the unit, it is the weakness of the conversion systems.
    The metric system has been adopted by all but three countries in the world because it is based on decimal and the ratio of 10 between larger or smaller units.
    It's so much simpler...

    That's wrong. We never use Kelvin in Brazil. We use Celsius.

      don't know if you just don't know/are trolling/... but anyway. Kelvin and Celcius are the same scale. except that 0 in kelvin is the absolute zero and celcius zero is defind as 273.15 kelvin. which is the freezing point of water in standard circumstances

      As he stated, all other SI units are derived from these Base units and many of these "derived" units are "named derived units".

      Volt is not a base unit.. it is Joules/coulomb.

    • @paulknox999
      @paulknox999 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry but you are both wrong both volt and Joule are derived SI units. Being pedantic there are only 7 base units, all other units are derived from these in some combination or another. I would have to dig my old physics books out to tell you the true derivation of volt and Joule

      @@paulknox999 One volt is defined as the difference in electric potential between two points of a conducting wire when an electric current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power between those points.
      It is also equal to the potential difference between two parallel, infinite planes spaced 1 meter apart that create an electric field of 1 newton per coulomb. Additionally, it is the potential difference between two points that will impart one joule of energy per coulomb of charge that passes through it.
      It can be expressed in terms of SI base units (m, kg, s, and A) but this site does not allow the writing of the formulae - so see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt
