Impetus describes the kind of force that encourages an action (the impetus behind the project) or the momentum of an action already begun (the meetings only gave impetus to the rumors of a merger).
Materials Needed: The box from the last experiment; a ruler that measures centimeters. Procedure: Measure each side of the box in centimeters. Use the formula for the volume of a box shaped object (V = L x W x H ) to calculate the volume of this box in cubic centimeters. What Happened: Each side was 10 cm long. When you plug the numbers into the formula and do the math, you get:
In this chapter we examine the derived units for volume and density. Volume. The volume of a cube is given by its length cubed, (length) 3. Thus, the basic SI unit of volume is the cubic meter, or m 3, the volume of a cube that is 1 m on each edge.Smaller units, such as cubic centimeters, cm 3 (sometimes written as cc), are frequently used in chemistry.n this chapter we examine the derived units for volume and density.
