Question

physical science a unit 1: nature of science post-test
why are si units preferred in fields like science and medicine, but not commonly used in everyday situations in the united states?
the u.s. government has banned the use of si units in certain industries.
u.s. units are easier to convert than si units, so they are better for most jobs.
si units are less accurate than the measurement system commonly used in the u.s.
science and medicine need standard measurements used around the world, while other industries stick with u.s. units because they are familiar and traditional.

Explanation:

SI units are a globally standardized measurement system, which is critical for consistency and collaboration in science and medicine across countries. In U.S. everyday industries, customary units remain common due to long-standing familiarity and tradition, not because of bans, ease of conversion, or accuracy issues.

Answer:

Science and medicine need standard measurements used around the world, while other industries stick with U.S. units because they are familiar and traditional.
