Unit Conversion & Significant Figures: Crash Course Chemistry #2

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
A unit is a frequently arbitrary designation we have given to something to convey a definite magnitude of a physical quantity and every quantity can be expressed in terms of the seven base units that are contained in the international system of units. Hank thinks this is a thrilling subject, and while you may not agree, it is a subject that is very important if you want to be a scientist and communicate with accuracy and precision with other scientists. So listen up and learn something or Hank might have to kill you! (NOT REALLY) Pssst. we made flashcards to help you review the content in this episode! Find them on the free Crash Course App!

To be precise you did not feel voltage, you felt current. Feeling voltage is like the sensation you get when your hair gets static. Voltage itself won't hurt you, rather the current that results from the voltage. It's a potential. Like gravity, falling does not kill you but the kinetic energy will. Experiencing voltage is experiencing potential, you don't notice it until that potential is converted

Hi Crash Course. Absolutely love your content. But I feel like this video didn't really feel like it belong to chemistry. Although your content is always great I'm sure as I proceed through your videos that this will hopefully all make sense soon enough.
I am on the hunt to find a topic for you to cover through crash course and once I find it I'll put it forward!

9: 55 - I understand that we need to round to 2 sig figs in the final answer, but I thought you round the answer to 310 or 3. 1x10-2? I thought you do that because the 5 in the ones place is right next to the 0 in the tens place, so you round up?

Could you please put a note on your video that the answer with the unit conversion is not correct. The answer is 2. 8 x 10-15 ly/s not 9. 3 x 10-12 ly/s. It messes students up when their calculation doesn't come out the same. Thanks

In the significant figures section he multiples 60 x 5. 0839. He says that 60 is two significant numbers but isn't it only 1? Trailing zeroes are not significant. So that answer should be 3 x10-2 and not 3. 0 x 10-2

I know almost nothing about chemistry, I suck at math, and I did not find this episode - or any of the ones I have watched thus far - difficult to comprehend at all. Thank you. :)

5: 26 The most ancient trick on the calculator and I just realized it today!
15 years of my life have been a lie 10: 27 but wait Hank don't kill me for that!

You guys should really re-upload this video with the corrected numbers, annotations have been removed so no one can see the corrections.
