Is speed a derived quantity?
Velocity is a derived quantity. Speed is velocity without direction. Velocity is derived from distance and time.
What is the SI units used to measure velocity?
What are the SI units used to measure acceleration.
Mention differences between fundamental and derived units?
The fundamental units are based on specific standards for each unit. Derived units result from manipulating the fundamental units. For example, the SI unit for distance or length is the meter, and the SI unit for time is the second. If you divide meters by seconds, you get m/s, a derived unit for speed or velocity.
What is the SI unit for velocity?
Meter per secondThere is no standard SI unit for velocity actually. It is a derived unit. Velocity is distance traveled per time together with the direction of motion. The SI unit of distance is the meter (m) and the SI unit of time is the second (s).So the units of velocity in SI units is meters/second (m/s), or ms-1See the Related Questions link to the left "What are all the SI units" for more information about SI units.CommentDerived units are SI units.
Which best describe what occurs when a body acceleration?
Change in velocity per unit time Change in velocity per unit time Change in velocity per unit time change in velocity per unit time.
Is the unit of speed a basic unit or a derived unit?
It is a derived unit. It measure distance traveled per unit of time. For example meter per second or m/s. Speed or velocity as it is sometimes called is derived from the units for distance and time.
Which is derived unit 1.mass 2.velocity 3.time 4.length?
velocity
How do you convert kmh to kmh squared?
You don't. It's a completely different unit, they are derived from m/s(unit of velocity) and m/s2(unit of acceleration).

How do you get the velocity?
Velocity is derived by dividing displacement with time in seconds

How would you distinguish a fundamental unit form a derived unit?
a fundamental unit is fixed in unlike a derived unit which is varying
What is the difference between volicity and accleration?
Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).
What are the fundamental and derived units?
In a system of units such as the SI, BASE UNITS are defined; other units are derived from those.For example, in the SI, the meter, the kilogram, and the second are base units; the units for area (meters squared), for speed and velocity (meters/second), etc. are derived from the base units. Which units are base units, and which units are derived units, really depends on how the unit is defined. For example, in the SI, pressure is a derived unit; but you can just as well invent a system in which pressure is a base unit, and some other units, that are base units in the SI, are derived in this new system.
