Mention differences between fundamental and derived units?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

In a system of unites such as the SI, some units are defined as base units. Other units are defined based on those other units - i.e., as combinations of several of the other units. For example, if a meter is a (base) unit of length and a second the(base) unit of time, a square meter is a (derived) unit of area, and is simply defined as a meter times a meter; while a meter/second is the (derived) unit for speed. In summary, derived units are combinations of base units (or other derived units); base units are not.

Answer 3

The derived unit is from a combination of fundamental units. A fundamental unit is a centimeter. A derived unit is a cubic centimeter, or a cube that is a centimeter on each side. Derived units are mainly used for measuring liquids

Answer

The correct term is 'base unit', NOT 'fundamental unit'. There are seven base units: metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, candela, and mole. ALL other units are called 'derived units'. For example, the unit of electrical charge, the 'coulomb' is a derived unit which equates to the base units 'ampere second'.

Answer 4

there are seven fundamental units.they are:-length,temperature,luminous intensity,amount of substance,nd 2 more.

derived units are the units that are derived from fundamental units.eg:-velocity(derived from length and time),etc.
