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 × acceleration
N = kg·m/s2

What is the difference of a calculated measurement and a calculated answer?
A calculated measurement is a measurement obtained by using mathematics rather than physically measuring something. An example would be using the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the measurement of the hypotenuse of a right triangle based on the lengths of the other two sides. A calculated answer is an answer carefully thought out in advance in response to a question. It is the opposite of a spontaneous answer given without forethought.

What is a measurment standard defined as?
In science, measurement is the process of obtaining the magnitude of a quantity, such as length or mass, relative to a unit of measurement, such as a meter or a kilogram. A measurement answers the general question, "how many?", as in how manymiles, or millimeters, or gigahertz. As measurement is basically about counting, measurement is conducted in numbers and is quantitative, in comparison to other observations which may be made in words and are qualitative. The term measurement can also be used to refer to a specific result obtained from the measurement process.
