What is the difference between base quentities and derived quantities?

Basic or fundamental quantities are seven in number. They cannot be derived right from one another. Hence they are independent. They are length, mass, time, electric current, temperature, quantity of substance, luminosity. Two sub are there. They are plane angle and solid angle. But derived are many in number. Just by the name they are derived right from the fundamental. They are area, volume, velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, magnetic induction, electric field, dipole moment, pressure, density etc etc

What method used to measure irregular solids?

To measure what quantity of irregular solids? If its volume you are referring then you can use the volume displacement method where you need a measuring cylinder, water and possibly a displacement can.Measure a known quantity of water. Then immerse the irregular solid in this cylinder. The rise in the water level equals the volume of the irregular solid. Note that if the irregular object floats, a sinker must be used to fully immerse the irregular solid, where the volume of the sinker should be known.Hope this helps- if you need more information email me @ physicsisland@hotmail.com


What is the differenc e between drift diffusion current?

Specifically, drift relates the movement of a carrier (e.g., an electron or hole) to an applied electric field (i.e., the velocity of the carrier is proportional to the electric field, where the proportionality constant, mobility, is a quantity derived in solid-state physics). Diffusion relates the movement of carriers due to random (i.e., thermal) behavior and non-uniform distribution (i.e., the velocity of the carrier is proportional to the logarithmic derivative of the density of carriers, where the proportionality constant, the diffusion constant, is a quantity derived in solid-state physics).


Why it difficult to catch a solid ball as compare to a hollow ball of equal radius?

it is simply because momentum of a solid ball,which is more than a hollow ball as solid ball has a great mass with respect to hollow ball! By Definition of momentum:- vector P=m.v<velocity> direction of momentum is in direction of motion so momentum is greater of solid ball that's why it is hard to catch a solid ball!
