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).

∙ 12y agoBasic units of some important physical quantities are fundamental units.
all 7 fundamental quantities are:
mass
electric current
time
temperature
amount of substance
length
luminous intensity
Quantities whose units are dependant on units of fundamental quantities are derived quantities.
Eg.
area
volume
density
speed
acceleration
force
work etc.

∙ 11y agoDerived units are used similarly to basic units - the deifference would be only what they're measuring. For example, you could record that a car travels 50 meters in 10 seconds. You would write down the distance as 50 m, and the time as 10 s. Similarly, since velocity (or speed) is change in distance over time, you would calculate the speed of the car to be traveling 50 meters every 10 seconds, or 5 meters per second. This would be written as 5 m/s.

Is pascal a si unit?
Yes, it is the derived unit for pressure.
The si base unit for mass?
The SI unit of weight is the newton (N), which is a Derived Unit.
Is volume derived or fundamental?
Volume is measured in units derived from the fundamental unit of length.
What is the SI derived unit of radiation dose equivalent?
The sievert is the SI derived unit of ionizing radiation dose. The Sv is its abbreviation.
Unit of measurement that are obtained by combining other units?
These are called derived units. In the SI system (or metric system), there are base units for length, mass and time, among others. These are:metre (m)kilogram (kg)second (s)The unit of acceleration is expressed as m/s2. An example of a derived unit is the unit of force called the newton (N). Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. Therefore:force = mass × accelerationN = kg·m/s2
How would you distinguish a fundamental unit form a derived unit?
a fundamental unit is fixed in unlike a derived unit which is varying
Is volt a metric unit?
Yes, it is part of the SI. It is a derived unit.Yes, it is part of the SI. It is a derived unit.Yes, it is part of the SI. It is a derived unit.Yes, it is part of the SI. It is a derived unit.
Is the unit for density a derived unit?
no
Is the cubic centimeter a base or derived unit?
yes, cubic centimeter is a derived unit.
Is FT a fundamental or derived unit?
FT is a derived unit and not a fundamental unit. The fundamental unit cannot be broken down into different forms. The derived units on the other hand are made up of the fundamental units.
Is dm3 a derived unit?
Yes. There is no SI fundamental unit for volume, so any volume unit is derived.
An example of a derived unit?
Newton, (unit of force)
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 a word for unit of power?
A "watt" is a derived unit of power.
Is pascal a si unit?
Yes, it is the derived unit for pressure.
What is a unit of measure that is a combination of other measurements?
Derived Unit
Is meters per second a base unit?
No, it is a derived unit.
