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:
The derived SI unit for volume is the cubic meter or m3 based on the three dimensional use of the base unit for length, the metre. The more common metric unit for volume is thâ¦e litre, which has been defined since 1964 as dm3 (mathematically equal to 1000 cm3).
