I am so confused this is the last question and its 8 I have an exam tomorrow and I still need to do math homework and history study

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

i am really busy atm ask @TheDream

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did but TheDream isn't reasponding

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I was taking care of something else. So why do you think units are important in general?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well so you can umm sorry don't know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are important because they help one to understand what it means essentially. Like you can't just say you are going 15. You need the units so that people can understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BRB just keep typing back in a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is a big difference from 15 mph and 15 m/s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Units can also help you check your answer when dealing with a complicated problem. Because at the end of the day you know you must have the same units on each side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's explaining What the unit is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like 15 mph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Instead of 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A unit is just a definite value for a physical quantity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm sorry I don't understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am so sorry I feel bad I am just so confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15 mph and 15 m/s are both 15 but the units help create a more defined picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So on is 15 meters every second and the other is 15 miles ever hour

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG!!! thanks so helpful now I get it.
