The SI is founded on seven SI base units for seven base quantities assumed to be mutually independent.These are :
length meter m mass kilogram kg time second s electric current ampere A thermodynamic temperature kelvin K amount of substance mole mol luminous intensity candelacd
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 quations and the seven SI base units.

∙ 9y agoThe basic SI units are the ones for mass (kilogram), length (meter), time (second), and
electric charge (coulomb). There are hundreds of others, all derived from these.

There are six basic SI units of measurement?
There are 7 basic units
What is the difference between a base unit from a derived unit?
There are 7 base SI units and all other are defined using these 7 base units. See the related question below:[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_all_the_SI_unitsWhat are all SI units?]
Which best describes the term derived units in SI?
a specific combination of base units with its own name
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.
The basic unit of mass in the international system of units or SI is the?
kilogram
What is the Basic metric unit for mass or weight?
The kilogram is the SI unit for mass.But grams are also often used.Additional AnswerIn SI, there are 'base' (not 'basic') units and 'derived' units -which, as the name suggests, are derived from the base units. There are seven base units, including the kilogram (not the gram) for mass.The SI unit for weight, which is the force due to gravity, is the newton, which is a derived unit.
What is basic quantitis?
Basic quantities refers to the quantities from which the others are derived from. This is what is commonly referred to as SI units.
What derived units?
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).
When SI units combine what do they make?
Derived SI units.
What is the basic unit used to measure SI?
There are seven base units in the SI system. They are; metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela. Other units are derived from these.
What metric units do you use in science?
Basically all the basic and derived SI units. More information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_units#Units
What are the fundamental and derived units?
In a system of units such as the SI, BASE UNITS are defined; other units are derived from those.For example, in the SI, the meter, the kilogram, and the second are base units; the units for area (meters squared), for speed and velocity (meters/second), etc. are derived from the base units. Which units are base units, and which units are derived units, really depends on how the unit is defined. For example, in the SI, pressure is a derived unit; but you can just as well invent a system in which pressure is a base unit, and some other units, that are base units in the SI, are derived in this new system.
How many SI units?
The SI has 7 base units. These units can be combined in an almost unlimited way to form other (derived) units. The Wikipedia article on "SI derived units" lists some examples.
How many derived quantity were there name them?
There is really no limit to the number of ways in which you can combine the basic units. Check the Wikipedia article " SI derived unit" for some examples.
What do derived units look like?
Derived units do not have a single 'look'. They are produced from the base units of a measuring system such as the SI system.In the SI system there are seven base units which are;MetreKilogramSecondAmpereKelvinMoleCandelaAll other units are DERIVED units.For example the units for volume is the cubic metre and density is derived from the metre and kilogram. So density is kilograms per cubic metre in the SI system.
There are six basic SI units of measurement?
There are 7 basic units
How do derived units differ from base unites?
Seven metric base units make up the foundation of SI. And Specific combinations of SI base units yield derived units. That's why the differ.
