www.mindbites.com In this lesson, you will learn how to convert measurements from one unit to another. You will learn how to create a conversion factor, which is always a factor of one that is constructed from a known quality. When creating a conversion factor, you will want to make sure to choose one that allows you to cancel out unwanted units. Prof. Yee also discusses significant figures when using conversion factors. Since conversion factors are considered exact, they have an infinite number of significant figures that are not limited. The data will limit the number of significant figures that you will use in an answer. Objects that are counted are also considered exact with unlimited significant figures. You will learn how to link multiple conversion factors, which is sometimes necessary when converting from one unit to another. Prof. Yee reminds you to make sure you always “”take the units along for the ride”" to ensure that you are finding your answer in the proper units. Finally, you will learn the proper conversion factors for converting both from degrees Farenheit to degrees Celsius and from degrees Celsius to degrees Kelvin.
