It is my contention that by allowing learners to work with the SI units in relation to the decimal number system accommodation and assimilation are facilitated and that a state of equilibrium is reached sooner. This approach emphasises and highlights the link between, and integration of the two systems
Mathematics and physics have several common concepts including unit conversion to be able to do science and make sense of the world. Essential skills are explained as prerequisite skills for university-level courses, and they cover metric prefixes and conversions (Mikula and Heckler, 2013).
During the physics lesson, conversion of length in other units than the SI unit should be undertaken and this should be related to ‘conversion of SI units of length’ learnt in mathematics in Form I.
The questions of the test were related to metric measurement units for length, area, volume, and mass as well as to the knowledge of approximate size of a body and some uses of metric units.
two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2×10 −7 newton per metre of length.
Solve application problems involving metric units of length, mass, and volume. Introduction Learning how to solve real-world problems using metric conversions is as important as learning how to do the conversions themselves.
conversions between units are based on powers of ten. This is quite different to the Imperial system of units where every conversion has a unique value. A physical quantity is an attribute or property of a substance that can be expressed in a mathematical equation.
