Measurement of Length and Motion Solutions Overview
Chapter 5 begins with body-part measurements and then explains why standard units are needed. The solutions show how to choose km, m, cm or mm for different objects and how to write units correctly.

| Chapter idea | What it means | Answer cue |
|---|---|---|
| Standard unit | same meaning for everyone | handspan is not standard |
| Scale reading | read from the correct eye position | subtract starting mark if zero is broken |
| Reference point | fixed point used to describe position | needed for motion answers |
| Motion type | path followed by object | linear, circular or oscillatory |
Scale Reading and Unit Conversion in Chapter 5
The chapter uses the conversion chain 1 km = 1000 m, 1 m = 100 cm and 1 cm = 10 mm. A student should first decide whether the answer moves to a bigger unit or a smaller unit.

- Move from km to m by multiplying by 1000.
- Move from m to cm by multiplying by 100.
- Move from cm to mm by multiplying by 10.
- Choose motion type by looking at the path.
