Americans use the English system of measures except in scientific papers and international trade.
A unit of volume with dimensions 1 unit x 1 unit x 1 unit is called a cubic unit. It represents the volume of a cube where each side measures 1 unit. In the metric system, this unit is commonly referred to as a cubic centimeter (cm^3), while in the imperial system, it is often called a cubic inch (in^3). Cubic units are used to measure the volume of three-dimensional objects.
The system of measurement based on the kilogram and the meter is the "metric system" also called the "International System of Units" or SI. This can also be called M.K.S System.
It is called a unit rate.
These are called derived units. In the SI system (or metric system), there are base units for length, mass and time, among others. These are:metre (m)kilogram (kg)second (s)The unit of acceleration is expressed as m/s2. An example of a derived unit is the unit of force called the newton (N). Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. Therefore:force = mass × accelerationN = kg·m/s2
It is a system of measurements where each "unit" is 60 times the "unit" to its right.
