How much cubic cm is 1 liter?
A Cm = Centimeter which is length - a liter is liquid capacity - they are not the same
Why is 1 cubic centimeter the same as 1 ml?
If this is a homework assignment, please consider trying to answer it yourself first, otherwise the value of the reinforcement of the lesson offered by the assignment will be lost on you.One cubic centimeter is the same as one milliliter because a liter is defined as 1000 cubic centimeters, and a milliliter is defined as one one thousandth of a liter.
Why are milliter and cubic centimeters the same?
Every unit in the International Standards of Units ("SI units") has a universal standardized definition. By universal, it is used everywhere. For instance, a meter is defined as "Length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1⁄299,792,458 of a second (17th CGPM)" Yes. The definitions are usually pretty weird, but they stay consistent, which is important. Now, the reason why the milliliter and the cubic centimeter are the same is much simpler. The liter was originally created as another word for a cubic decimeter. Because there are 1000 milliliters in a liter, and 1000 cubic decimeters in a cubic centimeter[see note], a milliliter and a cubic centimeter and therefore, the same. Note: millimeter, centimeter, decimeter. While the centimeter is 10 times smaller than the decimeter, we are also dealing with cubic terms, so a cubic centimeter is therefore, 103 or 1000 times smaller than a cubic decimeter.
What is the difference between a cubic centimeter and a centimeter cube?
They have the same volume but not necessarily the same shape.
Is a gram the same a a cubic centimeter?
No, it is not. A gram measures mass (like ounces or pounds), and a cubic centimeter measures volume (like cubic inches or quarts). They do not measure the same kind of value.
