The fundamental units are those of the SI system - The unit of Temperature, Kelvin; of Time, the second; of Mass, Kilogram; of brightness, the Candela; of physical quantity, the Mole; and of electrical current, the Ampere. With these units, all fundamental quantities may be described.
Comment SI doesn't use the term, 'fundamental'. Those units listed above are termed 'base' units.

Why is it important to have clearly defined quantities and units in measurement?
Because.... There are two types of physical quantities. Fundamental and derived. Fundamental units cannot be derived from any of the two types of units while derived units can be derived from these two types of units. It's important to be clearly defined as there are so many indices of the base number. And no one can derive the units if they aren't properly defined
Can the speed of light bend time?
Speed of light is just one of the fundamental constants and has nothing to do with time or any other quantities. Fields are defining surrounding geometry of time-space.
What is an independent fundamental quantity of measurement in the metric system from which all other quantities can be derived?
There are several. They are the Metre, Gramme, Second, and I think the Volt, Ampere and Coulomb but I stand to be corrected. Where does the Joule come into things?
What are fundamental units?
Fundamental unitsFundamental units, or base units, are those that cannot be decomposed into more basic units. (Note that "basic" does not mean "smaller.") Derived units, on the other hand, are those that are defined in terms of other units, which may be base units or other derived units. In the SI system, the base unit of length is the meter, the base unit of mass is the kilogram, and the base unit of time is the second. The base unit of electrical current is the ampere which is defined in terms of the force between parallel, current-carrying conductors.One of a set of unrelated units of measurement, which are arbitrarily defined and from which other units are derived. For example, in the SI system the fundamental units are the meter, kilogram, and second.
What is a derived unit?
derived units come from basic units such as length, time, electrical current.AnswerIn SI, Derived Units are any units that are not Base Units. There are seven Base Units, from which all Derived Units are formed. For example, a coulomb (derived unit) is equal to an ampere second (both Base Units).
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.
How do you Differentiate fundamental quantities and derived quantities form of physics?
Fundamental quantities are those which do not depend on other quantities. (i.e. temperature, mass, length)Derived quantities are those which depend on fundamental quantities. (i.e. force, volume, density)
Definition for fundamental quantities and derived quantities?
the differentiate between fundamental quantity and derived quantity?
What are difference of fundamental and derived quantity?
Fundamental quantities r those which r independent of other quantities and r scaler and on the other hand derived quantities r those which depends on fundamental quantities!! For example metre sqaure!
What are the derive of quantities?
Derived quantities are one which are derived from the basic or fundamental quantities..
What are the fundamental devices used for the seven fundamental quantities?
There is no such thing as these "fundamental devices".
What are the five example of fundamental quantities?
the five fundamental quantities are : length time electric current temperature mass
Different shape of fundamental quantities from the right quantities?
ikgliol
What difference of derived quantities and fundamental quantities?
the answer is sound and light
Is cubic feet derived quantities or fundamental quantities?
It is a derived quantity.
Types of physical quantities?
Physical Quantities are of TWO types: 1) Fundamental Quantities. 2) Derived Quantities.
Are weight length time and mass fundamental quantities?
No, weight is not a fundamental quantity.
