There is no plural for impetus. :)

Main Entry: im·pe·tus
Pronunciation: 'im-p&-t&s
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, assault, impetus, from impetere to attack, from in- + petere to go to, seek -- more at FEATHER
1 a (1) : a driving force : IMPULSE (2) : INCENTIVE, STIMULUS b : stimulation or encouragement resulting in increased activity
2 : the property possessed by a moving body in virtue of its mass and its motion -- used of bodies moving suddenly or violently to indicate the origin and intensity of the motion

So, you'd have to say, "impetus turns." :)
