Unit of measurement that are obtained by combining other units?
These are called derived units. In the SI system (or metric system), there are base units for length, mass and time, among others. These are:metre (m)kilogram (kg)second (s)The unit of acceleration is expressed as m/s2. An example of a derived unit is the unit of force called the newton (N). Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. Therefore:force = mass × accelerationN = kg·m/s2

Is pascal a si unit?
Yes, it is the derived unit for pressure.
The si base unit for mass?
The SI unit of weight is the newton (N), which is a Derived Unit.
Is volume derived or fundamental?
Volume is measured in units derived from the fundamental unit of length.
An example of a derived unit?
Newton, (unit of force)
What is an example of a derived unit?
One example of a derived unit is the unit of force. Also, the Newton unit is also another prime example of a derived unit.
What happens to the unit for volume?
Such a unit is often derived from the unit of length, which is cubed. For example, in the SI, the official unit is the cubic meter; derived units include the cubic decimeter (a.k.a. the liter), and the cubic centimeter (a.k.a. the milliliter).
What derived unit is used to measure?
They are used to measure quantities that are not basic. Length, for example, is a basic unit, but area and volume are not so derived units will be used to measure area and volume.
Why is a cubic centimeter an example of a derived unit?
Go to pg. 18 and in the 2nd paragraph you will find the answer. :D
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.
Is the unit of speed a basic unit or a derived unit?
It is a derived unit. It measure distance traveled per unit of time. For example meter per second or m/s. Speed or velocity as it is sometimes called is derived from the units for distance and time.
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.

How would you distinguish a fundamental unit form a derived unit?
a fundamental unit is fixed in unlike a derived unit which is varying
