Most of those units form part of the SI or International System. The SI has basically two kinds of units: the basic units, and those formed by the combination of two or more basic units, the so called derived units.
In the SI the basic units, and their respective symbols, are:
metro m
segundo s
kilogramo kg
amperio A
kelvin K
mol mol
candela cd
These symbols are universally accepted by the scientific community, and should be used in all languages.
Nonetheless, in your list appears some symbols that are not the standard ones of the SI, such as sec, for second, instead of s.
In the following page you''ll find the name of the derived units and their symbols.
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unidades_SI
These units appear there with their official name, accepted internationally, followed by their hispanicized name, and by their symbol, such as hertz or herzio: Hz.
In Spanish you can use both of them, according to your preferences. In scientific books it's preferred the international name, whereas in non scientific publications you could use the hispanicized term.
You can add some prefixes both to the basic and derivative units. You'll find a very useful list of prefixes at the bottom of the page I mentioned above.
This way you can form units like kilowatt, or kilovatio (kW), simply adding the prefix kilo- to the unit watt or vatio. Megajoules or megajulios, terawatt or teravatio, and so on...
Suerte.
Very funny, kalpesh. Now, can we get back to doing useful homework, and learn some Spanish? That would be nice.
Choose one (1) unit of the hundreds that you've pasted and I'm sure someone will help...
Hi Kalpesh and welcome to the forum ![]()
To me, it is not quite clear what your question is. If you would specify your question or give more context, it would be a lot easier to help you.
Please note, that correct spelling and punctualization is mandatory on this site.
Saludos, Chica
gosh! I think that anyone looking at this will feel daunted...you should cut this list down..maybe someone will help then!
