UNIT 0: SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE Worksheet-3

Conversion Factors-I

Units can be converted into other units of the same physical quantity.

For example, millimetres can be converted into kilometres or centimetres, but not
into kilograms.

To do conversions, you have to use conversion factors. The method consists of


multiplying the initial units by one or several conversion factors so that initial
units disappear.
It is an easy work if you follow these steps :

For example, we have to convert: 3.5 hours into minutes

 Write the equivalence between the unit that you have (in the example:
hours) and the unit that you want to have (in the example: minutes) and transform it
into a conversion factor (a conversion factor is a quotient in which the numerator is
equivalent to the denominator).
Equivalence: 60 min 1h
Conversion factor: or
1 h = 60 min 1h 60 min

 Write the quantity and the unit given in the exercise and multiply it by
the conversion factor.
New unit

.
60 min 3.5 . 60 min
3.5 h = = 210 min
1h 1

Value Conversion factor


and unit given (equivalence)

 You have to use the same number of conversion factors as the number of
units you need to convert (the same number of equivalences written).
l
Another example: we have to convert 346 Gl into ml

New unit

Equivalences:
109 l 1 ml 346·109·1 ml
1 Gl = 10 9 l 346Gl. · -3 = =346·109-(-3)ml =346·1012 ml
1 Gl 10 l 1·10 -3
10 -3 l = 1 ml

Value Conversion factors


and units given (equivalences)
Convert these units using Conversion Factors:
 0.05 s into s:
Equivalence: ............ s ….......….……s
0.05 s . = = …………...... s
1 s = 10 -6 s
.......... s ……......……
 7300 J into G J:
Equivalence: .............G J ……...........……
7300 J. = = ……………..
1 G J= ……. J
.............J ……....….....…

 700 nl to l:
Equivalence:
700 nl. =

 0.2 km into m:


Equivalences:
1 km = 10 3 m
10 -6 m= 1 m
