Temperature

In science we do not use Fahrenheit, we use Celsius or Kelvins. However, there


are times we will need to convert °F to °C or K.

°F = 9/5(°C) + 32

°C = (°F-32)5/9

K = °C + 273

Standard Measurements:
Body Temp. = 98.6°F or 37°C or 310 K
Room Temp. = 70°F or 21°C or 294 K
Water Freezes = 32°F or 0°C or 273 K
Water Boils = 212°F or 100°C or 373 K

Weight

In science, weight is not measured in pounds rather in Newtons. Weight is the


amount of gravitational pull an object’s mass has on it. The standard
gravitational pull is 9.8 m/s². You must first know the mass of the object.
This is calculated by taking the poundage and dividing it by 2.2. (1lb = 2.2 kg)

Example: 100 lbs. / 2.2 = 45.45 kg

45.45 kg x 9.8 m/s² = 445.45 N

This is the amount of gravitational pull a 100 lb object would have on it.
