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.
Are all metric units also system international?
No, not all metric units are part of the International System of Units (SI). The SI is a coherent system of units derived from the metric system, but it is more specific and defined, and not all metric units are included in the SI.
When SI units combine what do they make?
When SI units combine, they create derived SI units that are used to express physical quantities. These derived units are formed by multiplying or dividing the base SI units. Examples include the Newton (kg*m/s^2) for force and the Pascal (N/m^2) for pressure.
Is joule a derived unit?
Yes, the joule is a derived unit in the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the base units of kilogram, meter, and second, and is used to measure energy, work, and heat.
Combination of the SI base units used to measure quantities such as volume speed and pressure are called?
A system of measurements. SI is the most used world-wide now (Systeme Internationale). The old British system using feet and pounds is now largely superseded though it is still used in some more traditional industry, especially in the US.

Yes, the joule is a derived unit in the International System of Units (SI) and is used to measure energy and work.
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.
Are all metric units also system international?
No, not all metric units are part of the International System of Units (SI). The SI is a coherent system of units derived from the metric system, but it is more specific and defined, and not all metric units are included in the SI.
What measurement is the si system based on?
The SI system is based on multiples (and divisions) of ten. There are seven base units, all others are derived from these.
When SI units combine what do they make?
When SI units combine, they create derived SI units that are used to express physical quantities. These derived units are formed by multiplying or dividing the base SI units. Examples include the Newton (kg*m/s^2) for force and the Pascal (N/m^2) for pressure.
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.
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.
Is the unit for force a base unit or a derived unit?
The unit for force, the newton (N), is a derived unit in the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the base units of mass, length, and time.
Is joule a derived unit?
Yes, the joule is a derived unit in the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the base units of kilogram, meter, and second, and is used to measure energy, work, and heat.

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.
