Other conversions for the Midterm
The constants and equations paper that Professor Lavelle provides for us has some of the conversions we need but are there others that we need to know? For example, we have the conversions for nanometers, picometers, kilograms to grams, and a few others, but are there some we need to know to solve other equations?
Re: Other conversions for the Midterm
It's probably best to have the most common prefixes memorized for the exam (i.e. kilo-, centi-, milli-, etc) for conversions, otherwise unit conversions tend to be pretty self-explanatory based on the given units and equations

Like the previous reply, it would be safest to memorize the basic units. I use the mnemonic King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk (kilo, hecto, deca, base (meters/grams/liters), deci, centi, milli) to help memorize the conversions!

Re: Other conversions for the Midterm
There are little charts online that have them all in order with the prefixes and stuff. I find it helpful to look at those or at least tr to memorize from there.
