tq Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Well I have just recnetly started year 11 Physics, Biology and Chemistry. And I will turn to peoples help alot, so here is my first question: Volume is a derived quantity. From which fundamental quantity is volume derived? Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustStuit Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 cubic metre per kilogram (m3 kg-1) not too sure though, that's specific volume i think...don't remember the difference..actually I don't think I ever learned. http://www.gordonengland.co.uk/conversion/siderived2.htm not sure if this will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bignose Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Maybe I am missing something here, but volume is a length cubed, so it is derived from the length measure. That is, the m is defined, and the cubic meter is derived from the definition of the meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Area occupied. nowadays it`s Metric in CCs or cm^3, years ago it was Cubic Inches, for instance a 10 Cubic inch displacement in a motrobike cylider is about 164cc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonBlack Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Some fundamental quantities (units) you'll probably use: mass (kg), length (m), time (s), temperature (k), amount (mol). Anything which contains more than one of these fundamental quantities is a derived quantity. so volume is measured in units of length^3. So you could use meters cubed, cubic astronomical units, whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
