What are combination of fundamental units called?

derived units


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.


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.


Why is unit of speed called derived unit?

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.


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.

The units derived from fundamental units are called?

Those are called derived units.


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.

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.

They can be classified into fundamental units and derived units.
