A decametre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and by most English speaking countries, [1] [2] United States spelling dekameter or decameter [3] [4]), symbol dam ("da" for the SI prefix deca-, [1] "m" for the SI unit metre), is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to ten metres.
570 fm – typical distance from the atomic nucleus of the two innermost electrons (electrons in the 1s shell) in the uranium atom, the heaviest naturally-occurring atom 1 picometer The picometre ( SI symbol: pm ) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −12 metres ( 1 / 1 000 000 000 000 m = 0. 000 000 000 001 m ).
Symbol Meaning SI unit of measure magnetic vector potential: tesla meter (T⋅m) : area: square meter (m 2) : amplitude: meter: atomic mass number: unitless acceleration: meter per second squared (m/s 2)
The SI comprises a coherent system of units of measurement starting with seven base units, which are the second (symbol s, the unit of time), metre (m, length), kilogram (kg, mass), ampere (A, electric current), kelvin (K, thermodynamic temperature), mole (mol, amount of substance), and candela (cd, luminous intensity).
This number is the fixed numerical value of the Avogadro constant, N A, when expressed in the unit mol −1 and is called the Avogadro number. The amount of substance, symbol n , of a system is a measure of the number of specified elementary entities.
Measure for the ease with which an object resists conduction of heat K/W L −2 M −1 T 3 Θ: extensive Thermal resistivity R λ: Measure for the ease with which a material resists conduction of heat K⋅m/W L −1 M −1 T 3 Θ: intensive Viscosity: η: The measure of the internal friction in a fluid Pa⋅s L −1 M T −1: intensive, scalar ...
A runway number typically indicates its magnetic azimuth in decadegrees. Before the symbol as an SI prefix was standardized as da with the introduction of the International System of Units in 1960, various other symbols were more common, such as dk (e.g., UK and Austria), D (e.g., Germany, Eastern Europe), and Da .
The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured.
