Size Matters

With last week question, a student commented about King Hector Died from Drinking Chocolate Milk. So lets develop this concept a little further. I'm going to give the name of the prefix for the SI Units and I would like to see the size and the symbol for the unit. I'll do one as an example:

Name               Symbol               Unit Size
Tera                       T                        10^12
Giga
Mega

kilo
hecto
deca

The unit of measurements meter, grams, ampere

deci
centi
milli

micro
nano
pico

femto                        f                      10^-12

  1. I like how you gave us the most important thing in physics which is measurement units. I really liked how you gave us a easy saying to remember the order they come in.
