From the units, I can tell that it's the acceleration of gravity, usually represented as 'G'. But I've been using the value of 9.78 for gravitation near the surface on the equator. We should both go back and check it. By the way ... it's not a 'fundamental constant'. There's nothing fundamental about it, and it varies all over the place, even on a trip along the earth's surface, or on a hike up a mountain.

Definition of fundamental and derived units?

The fundamental quantities:TimeSpace (or length)MassTemperatureElectrical currentLuminosityAmount of matterA fundamental quantity is an irreducible "thing". It cannot be described in terms of other "things". This is in contrast to derived quantities, which can be described in terms of other "things". Fundamental quantities are also called base quantitiesFundamental quantities can be considered to be dimensions, but in a loose context. In physics, when we refer to dimensions, we usually refer to space and time (and theoretically higher similar dimensions), and not the dimension of the luminosity (see below).Each fundamental quantity has an associated unit in the SI system:Time: seconds (s)Space: meters (m)Mass: kilograms (kg)Temperature: degrees kelvin (K)Electrical current: ampere (A)Luminosity: candela (l)Amount of matter: moleDerived QuantitiesAll other quantities in physics can be expressed in terms of the fundamental quantities. Examples are velocity (space divided by time), acceleration (space divided by time squared), force (mass times space divided by time squared) or energy (mass times the constant representing the speed of light squared - aka. space divided by time all squared). Understanding this concept helps in understanding how all equations work, and how different "things" are related CommentThere are no such things as SI 'derived units'; the correct term is 'base units'.


What is the antiderivative squared 0 9X18 squared X 17 X 18?

Let k = 0 9x18 squared x 17 x 18 k is a constant. Its anti-derivative is kx + C, where C is a constant. The anti-derivative squared is (kx+ C) squared.

Why is that physics is describe as the basic science?

Because Physics is all about why things happen and I guess is all about rules of science, like the phrase 'the rules of physics' e.g all these formulas like e=mc squared and all that wot-not- it is all physics.
