The main impact of the metric system is that it has been standardized so that the meter, kilogram, Celsius degree, second (and other dimensional standards) are standardized worldwide. Having units relate in powers of ten makes for convenience.

Why is there no generally accepted definition of a process?
Because the word 'process' is so general, strangely enough. In order to arrive at any meaningful definition, 'process' must be paired with a descriptive.
What acceleration can a 1n force give to a 1-kg object?
1 meter per second2. That's exactly the definition of the "Newton" unit of force.
Which is the only standard unit that consists of a natural object?
It has turned out to be difficult to find a reproducible definition otherwise - basically, one that has sufficient precision, accuracy and stability. However, that will probably change soon; this is a known problem, and people are working on finding a good alternative. Check the Wikipedia article on "Proposed redefinition of SI base units" - it is expected that a new definition (in which the kilogram will probably be defined on the basis of the Planck constant, as well as on the second and the meter) will be accepted in 2018.
Scientific definition of law?
It is a repeated observation about nature.
Meter is how many meters?
A meter is one meter.
What does unit internationally accepted mean?
That sounds as if you are talking about a unit that is used internationally. Usually those would be the SI units, such as meter, ampere, kelvin, etc.
What is internationally accepted unit of light?
meter per second squared m/s'2 or ms'-2 ( ' means power)
What is the exact speed of light in a vacuum?
The current internationally accepted number is: 299,792,458 meters per second.Note. While the number above is correct, it is not 'the current internationally accepted number'. The number is now correct by definition. Physicists world-wide have agreed that c is 299 792 458 m s-1.. Physical constants are usually quoted with 'error bars', which indicate the accuracy of measurement. Here there are no error bars - what you see is what you get, and what physics will get ever after. The second is now defined by an atomic clock, and the meter is defined by reference to c and the second. If there were to be a tiny error that had crept in, the meter is what would change.

Is the degree of BBA from iqra university is internationally accepted?
Yes, the degree of BBA from IQRA university is intentionally accepted.
Is lorenz high school accepted in the US?
Lorenz High School is an internationally accredited High School and is recognized and accepted globally.
Why scientists keep revising the definition of the meter?
Revisions in the definition of the meter are intended to achieve greater precision.
Why does the US need to switch to the metric system?
To comply with the internationally accepted SI units.
What is the definition of the word 'internationally'?
Internationally means something or someone who crosses more than one country. This can refer to a business that has offices in Canada and the United States. That business does work internationally.
How many meters are there in one meter?
One meter equals 1 meter. Also 100 centimeters, 1000 millimeters, or 1/1000th of a kilometer.(Meter is often spelled "metre" internationally to avoid confusion.)
