Is s/cm the same with s *cm^-1???

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt know it... Who remembers from school? ;p thanks a lot..usefull information

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

lol , its just a unit for velocity/speed [s/cm] = [s cm^-1]

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

wait a second, its seconds /cm ? so its not an unit for velocity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea..I measured the resistance of the leaves' stomata of plants.. so it measure the velocity/speed of gas exchanges..

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

hey velocity unit should be cm/s right ?

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

it can be written as cm*s^-1

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

for velocity we say, mile/hour. we never say hours/mile

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait...it is correct.. s*cm^-1 is a unit for conductance (the opposite from resistance)

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

ohk !! if u are sure then its fine :)

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

im not good wid biology terms : conductance resistance :|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so to find the conductance from the given resistance i have to do: 1/resistance

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

okay

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

resistance unit is cm/s is it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the are both expressed in velocity units and the are temperature and pressure dependent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

okay... makes sene :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

np :) thank you too :)
