What are combination of fundamental units called?
derived units
How do you describe derived units?
Derived units are made by combining base units using mathematical operations such as multiplication and division. They are used to express physical quantities and their combination is necessary to represent more complex measurements, such as velocity or volume. Examples of derived units include meters per second for velocity or cubic meters for volume.
Differentiate derived units from supplementary units?
Derived units are units formed by combining base units through mathematical operations, such as area (square meters). Supplementary units are units used alongside base units to form the complete set of units in a system, such as the radian for angles in the International System of 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.
A unit of measure made of a combination of two or more base units is called?
derived
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.

Which best describes the term derived units in SI?
a specific combination of base units with its own name
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).
The units derived from fundamental units are called?
Those are called derived units.
Is FT a fundamental or derived unit?
FT is a derived unit and not a fundamental unit. The fundamental unit cannot be broken down into different forms. The derived units on the other hand are made up of the fundamental units.
Differentiate derived units from supplementary units?
Derived units are units formed by combining base units through mathematical operations, such as area (square meters). Supplementary units are units used alongside base units to form the complete set of units in a system, such as the radian for angles in the International System of Units.
Why derived units called derived quantities?
Because they are based on - i.e. "derived from" - other units.
