I think your question is about units. I will answer that question.
There are two kinds of units: "base" units and "derived" units. Base units are defined by unique values, often related to natural quantities. Examples include the second, defined in terms of the frequency of radiation from the caesium-113 atom at a particular energy state; the meter, defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458th of a second; and the kilogram, once defined as the mass of one liter of water, it is now defined by an artifact (an actual hunk of metal locked in a vault in France).
In contrast, derived units describe relationships of quantities in reference to base units. Or, more simply, derived units are composed of base units. Examples include the newton, the force required to accelerate 1 kg at a rate of 1 m/s/s (creating the dimensions of (kg*m)/s^2); speed, the rate of change of position with respect to time ("miles-per-hour" is a length divided by a time); and the pascal, a measure of pressure which is force-per-area (or newtons per square-meter). Notice how the pascal was derived from the newton, which itself is a derived unit! The defining characteristic of a derived unit is that it is equivalent to a unique mathematical expression of base units.
There are 7 "base units" in the SI system: The meter, kilogram, second, ampere, candela, Kelvin, and mole. All other units can be "derived" from these units.

What are the examples of base quantities and derived quantities?
Time ,distance and mass are bass quantities whilevelocity ,acceleration ,force etc are derived quantities.
Give examples of derived quantities?
work,velocity,force and acceleration
What are some examples of derived quantities with formulae?
A large list of SI derived units can be found at the related links.
What are the derive of quantities?
Derived quantities are one which are derived from the basic or fundamental quantities..
What are base quantities and derived quantities?
Base quantities are the quantities on the basis of which other quantities are expressed. The quantities that are expressed in terms of base quantaties are called derived quantities.
Is cubic feet derived quantities or fundamental quantities?
It is a derived quantity.
What is derived quantity?
Derived quantities are quantities which are made or found from other major quantities. There are two types of quantities. Ones are which are recognized throughout the world and using them other quantities are made.
What are derived quantities what are the fundamental quantities?
Fundamental quantities are quantities that can be measured such as mass, length and temperature. Derived quantities are quantities that has to be calculated such as pressure, volume and work done.AnswerThe SI does not define 'fundamental quantity', instead it uses the term 'Base Unit'. All other units are 'Derived Units', so-called because they are each derived from combinations of Base Units.
What is physical fundamental?
Those quantities which cannot be derived from any other such as length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, light luminosity are examples for fundamental physical quantities.
Definition for fundamental quantities and derived quantities?
the differentiate between fundamental quantity and derived quantity?
What difference of derived quantities and standard quantities?
Derived quantities are quantities that you should be solving for. Ex: Volume, Mass etc Standard quantities are quantities that are specific. Ex: length, seconds, meter. Hop I helped you. :)
What is the relationship between fundamental and derived quantities?
According to the (National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), "The SI is founded on seven SI base units for seven base quantities assumed to be mutually independent, as given in Table 1.""Other quantities, called derived quantities, are defined in terms of the seven base quantities via a system of quantity equations. The SI derived units for these derived quantities are obtained from these equations and the seven SI base units. Examples of such SI derived units are given in Table 2, where it should be noted that the symbol 1 for quantities of dimension 1 such as mass fraction is generally omitted. "Refer to the Related Link below in order to see Table 1 and Table 2.
