Why are area an density called derived quantities?
In the SI, these units are derived from other units. For example, an area is a length squared. Of course, it is possible to proceed the other way round, for example to define an area as the base unit, in which case a length would be the square root of an area. That looks more complicated, but it's possible. Thus, whether a unit for a specific type of measurement is a base unit or a derived unit really depends on the system of units selected.
Is the cubic centimeter a base or derived unit?
yes, cubic centimeter is a derived unit.
Is meters per second a base unit?
No, it is a derived unit.
Why is a cubic centimeter a derived unit?
The basic unit is meter. Centimeter and the cubic value are derived from the basic meter.AnswerIt isn't. It's a submultiple of a 'base unit'.
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 is an example of an derived unit?
An example of a derived unit is the unit for speed, which is meters per second (m/s). Speed is derived by dividing the distance traveled (meters) by the time taken (seconds).
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
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.
Is the unit for force a base unit or a derived unit?
The unit for force, the newton (N), is a derived unit in the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the base units of mass, length, and time.
How would you distinguish a fundamental unit form a derived unit?
a fundamental unit is fixed in unlike a derived unit which is varying
Is the unit for density a derived unit?
no

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 dm3 a derived unit?
Yes. There is no SI fundamental unit for volume, so any volume unit is derived.
