  • What are base units in the metric system?

    Base units are fundamental measurements such as meters, grams, and seconds used to quantify physical quantities.

  • Why are metric prefixes used in measurements?

    Metric prefixes simplify the representation of very large or very small quantities by denoting specific powers of ten.

  • What does the prefix 'k' (kilo) represent in the metric system?

    The prefix k stands for kilo, representing \(10^{3}\) or 1,000 times the base unit.
