Volume is derived from?

[tq]

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

[JustStuit]

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.

not sure if this will help

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.

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.

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.
