After finishing all of my Physics classes, I have no idea why America would follow the imperial system. Here is Canada, we use the Metric system. That means that 10mm=1cm, 100cm=1m, 1000m=1km and so on. In the US, the system is so weird: 12 Inches=1 foot, 3 feet=1 yard, 220 yards=1 furlong, 8 furlongs=1 mile 5280 feet=1 mile.
With the metric system, everything is equal, which makes physics a LOT more easy to do. I couldn't imagine doing physics in the USA, it would be increasingly hard keeping everything correct while converting everything.
Any thoughts?
