Is voltage a derived quantity?
Whether any quantity is a base quantity or a derived quantity depends on the definitions used in the system of measurements. In the SI, it is a derived quantity, defined as energy per unit charge. In units: joules/coulomb, where both joules and coulombs are also derived units.
Is dm3 a derived unit?
Yes. There is no SI fundamental unit for volume, so any volume unit is derived.
What is a word for unit of power?
A "watt" is a derived unit of power.
Is angle is a derived quantity?
From the Wikipedia article about the radian: "The unit was formerly a SI supplementary unit, but this category was abolished in 1995 and the radian is now considered a SI derived unit." The radian can be derived as the ratio between two lengths. That makes it a dimensionless unit.
Why is unit of speed called derived unit?
Newton, the unit of force, is defined based on Newton's Second Law (F=ma), as the force required to give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of 1 meter/second2. Thus, it is derived from these other units.
What is a unit of measure that is a combination of other measurements?
Derived Unit
Why it ms sense to multiply when you convert to a smaller unit?
It makes sense to multiply when converting measurements to smaller units because it takes many smaller units to make up a larger unit. So in order to translate larger unit(s) into smaller units, you have to break up the larger unit(s) into many smaller pieces.
What is the unit measurment?
A unit of measure is an officially standard used to make measurements.
What the SI unit for volume and lenght?
The SI unit for volume is the liter, and for length it is the meter. The unit of mass is the kilogram. In chemistry and physics these units are commonly used as the international standard units of measurements.
Why do you multiply to change from a larger unit to a smaller unit?
Example. (meters to millimeters) There are more millimeters in a metre(1000 to be precise) Therefore you multiply by 1000 to get from metres to millimeters That is wrong we don't want an example You have multiply because the larger unit has to broken down into plenty of smaller measurements or units. When you do that the number is multiplied into many smaller units.

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 the unit for density a derived unit?
no
How do you convert length and width to square meter?
Make sure both length and width are measured in meters and multiply. The unit with be the area in square meters. The length and width alone can't be square measurements because they are one dimentional
Is the cubic centimeter a base or derived unit?
