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.

Newton is called derived unit because newton is si unit of force

newton is the si unit of force and it is derived unit because we all know that derived unit is all the other units except seven fundamental or base units

Why are derived units more complex than fundamental units and why is it important to know whether a unit is derived or fundamental?
Derived units are simply more complex because they are made up of several (that is, usually, by more than one) base unit. It is just the way they are defined; for example, in the SI, distance and time are base units, while speed is a derived unit (distance / time). You can just as well invent a system of units where - for example - time and speed are base units; in this case, distance would be a derived unit.
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.
Candela Ounce Newton SI base unit?
There is no unit, base or derived, called a candela ounce
The distance an object travels per unit of time is called?
Speed. The equation to find speed is distance over time.
Is speed a derived quantity?
Velocity is a derived quantity. Speed is velocity without direction. Velocity is derived from distance and time.
Is the unit of speed a basic unit or a derived unit?
It is a derived unit. It measure distance traveled per unit of time. For example meter per second or m/s. Speed or velocity as it is sometimes called is derived from the units for distance and time.
What does the SI unit for speed, m/s, stand for?
The International System of Units (SI) has two type of units, base units and derived units. Speed is a derived unit. Its unit is Meter/sec. Its a scalar quantity.
What are the different derived quantities their description and their system international unit?
the quantities that are expressed in term of base quantities are called derived quantities e.g area volum speed force energy
What is metric unit and English standard unit for speed?
The SI derived unit for speed is meter per second, m/s. The English standard unit for speed is feet per second, ft/s.
Are grams per millimeter a derived unit?
yes,grams per millimeter a derived unit .it is called linear density,that is ,gram /mL

What is an example of a derived unit?
One example of a derived unit is the unit of force. Also, the Newton unit is also another prime example of a derived unit.
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
Is speed always measured in terms of a unit of distance divided by a unit of time?
The unit is called 'speed'.
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.
What is the unit called that is formed from more than one base unit?
could be wrong, but I believe derived.
Candela Ounce Newton SI base unit?
There is no unit, base or derived, called a candela ounce
