Derived units are combinations of?
base units
How do you describe derived units?
They are combinations of base units
How do derived units differ from base unites?
Seven metric base units make up the foundation of SI. And Specific combinations of SI base units yield derived units. That's why the differ.
What are combinations of fundamentals units?
Derived units
Can you find the base and height measurements for a triangle if you know that the area is 22 square units explain why or why not?
No, because there are infinitely many combinations of base and height which will lead to that result.
What is the difference between a base unit from a 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?]
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.
List three sets of base and height measurements for triangles with areas of 30 square units?
The area of a triangle is half base times height so any triangles whose base times height is 60 units will have an area of 30 square units e.g. base = 10 units, height = 6 units; base = 5 units, height = 12 units; base = 7.5 units, height = 8 units.
Explain the difference between SI base units and derived units Give an example of each?
Derived units are units built up from SI base units. It has been found that relatively few base units are required. Typical derived units are m/sec (metres per second), sometimes written m.sec-1 for speed and joules/sec, sometimes written joules.sec-1 for power. Although the latter unit is a derived unit, it has its own name, the watt, for convenience. (Nonetheless, the people who govern the business of defining units have been scrupulous in defining it in terms of base units because it's possible.) New base units are defined when phenomena are encountered which simply cannot be measured in terms of existing base units or units derived from them.
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.
Differentiate derived units from supplementary units?
suplementary units are dimendionless and are not derived from other (base) units while derived units are derived from base units and they do have dimionsions.
What is a basic unit of measurement?
A substance that increases the hydroxide ions in a solution
