Is micrometer a derived unit?
Yes, the definition of a derived unit is a combination of other units. Therefore, the following is not a single unit.AnswerNo. A micrometre is a submultiple (one-millionth) of a base unit: the metre.
What is the difference between scheme of work and unit plan?
There is no difference between a unit plan and a scheme of wok. thank u. By highkult
What does the SI unit for speed, m/s, stand for?
The International System of Units (SI) has two type of units, base units and derived units. Speed is a derived unit. Its unit is Meter/sec. Its a scalar quantity.
What is a derived untit?
It means that it is defined on the basis of other units. For example, in the SI, the meter and the second are two of the seven "base units"; the unit for area is the square meter (meter x meter), so it is a DERIVED unit; so is the unit for speed, meters / second.
Why is That Area And Volume Are Derived Physical Quantities?
That's the way they are defined in the SI - and in most systems of units. In the SI, the meter is the unit for length, and it is a base unit; square that, and you have a unit of area. Of course, you could also proceed the other way round: define an area as a base unit, and take the square root of that as a (derived) unit of length; but the people who designed the SI decided to do it that way and not the other. Probably because it's easier to measre a length.
What is the difference between base unit and a derived united?
A base unitis a defined unit in a system of measurement that is based on an object or event in the physical world.A derived unit is a unit that is defined by a combination of base units.
Is the unit for force a base unit or a derived unit?
The unit for force, the newton (N), is a derived unit in the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the base units of mass, length, and time.
What the difference between SI base unit and SI derived unit?
There are 7 base SI units and all other are defined using these 7 base units. See the related question below:[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_all_the_SI_unitsWhat are all SI units?]
Is the cubic centimeter a base or derived unit?
yes, cubic centimeter is a derived unit.
When you multiply measurements you make a derived unit?
In some cases, multiplying measurements can result in a derived unit. Derived units are created by combining base units in a specific way, such as meters (a base unit) multiplied by seconds (another base unit) resulting in meters per second (a derived unit for speed).
Is grams a base unit or a derived unit?
Grams is a derived unit because it is based on the base unit of mass, which is the kilogram. It is a smaller unit of mass that is derived from the kilogram through the use of prefixes such as milli- and micro-.
Is meters per second a base unit?
No, it is a derived unit.
What is the base unit of mass?
The mass is obviously a base unit. From mass we can derive many units like momentum, force etc. But we cannot derive the unit of mass from any other unit. So, it's a base unit. Technically, mass is not a unit. In the most commonly used systems of units, MKS and cgs, units of mass (kilograms and grams, respectively), are base units.
What is the Si base unit for energy?
There is no SI Base Unit for energy. The unit for energy, the joule is a Derived Unit.
Is the unit for density a derived unit or a base unit?
That will obviously depend on the system of units chosen. In the SI (International System), it is a derived unit (mass divided by volume).
What is the metric base units of volume?
The meter is the metric base unit for volume, and the cubic meter is the derived unit.
Why ampere is base unit if it is derived from charge?
The ampere is the SI Base Unit or electric current. It is NOT derived from the charge (coulomb) but from the force resulting from its magnetic effect. The ampere is defined in terms of the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors due to the interaction of their magnetic fields. The coulomb, on the other hand, is an SI Derived Unit, based on the ampere and the second.
