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.
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.
Why are derived units more complex than fundamental units?
Derived units is obtained from a combination of fundamental units. Derived unit is a cubic centimeter or a cube that is a centimeter on each side.
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?]
What is a derived untit?
It means that it is defined on the basis of other units. For example, in the SI, the meter and the second are two of the seven "base units"; the unit for area is the square meter (meter x meter), so it is a DERIVED unit; so is the unit for speed, meters / second.
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.
Why the unit of density is called derived unit?
Density is not a derived unit.. It is a physical quantity and hence is a derived quantity.. the unit of density kgm-3 or gcm-3 is a derived unit because it can be expressed as the quotient of base units. In general, a unit is said to be derived if it can be expressed as the product and/or quotient of base units.
What does the SI unit for speed, m/s, stand for?

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 is the base unit of voltage?
The base unit of voltage is the volt, a combined unit meaning joules per coulomb.AnswerThe SI unit for voltage is the volt (symbol: V), which is a derived unit -not a base unit. There are seven base units in the SI system: metre, kilogram, second, ampere, candela, kelvin, and mole. SI units which are not base units are termed 'derived units'.
What is the SI unit for quantity of radioactive materials?
The SI unit for quantity of radioactive materials is Becquerel.The becquerel (symbol Bq) is the SI-derived unit of radioactivity.One Bq is defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second.
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 is magnetic flux measured in?
The SI unit of magnetic flux is the weber (in derived units: volt-seconds)
What is the Difference between derived quantity and fundamental quantity?
The quantity which has only direction is called fundamental quantity.Example-Direct current.The quantity which has both magnitude and direction is called derived quantity.Example-Altranating current.
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.
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.
How are fundamental units and derived units related?
According to second law of Newton's motion, we can relate fundamental and derived units; i.e F=ma where, 'm' is mass of body which is fundamental quantity and its unit expressed in Kg. and 'F' is the force implied on body produced acceleration which is directly proportonal to one another, whereas; force is derived quantity and its unit expressed in Kg-m/sec/sec or N. Hence in this way we can relate these two.
