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

Complex units are combinations of less complex units or fundamental ones. They are combined via multiplication (e.g., newton-meter, foot-pound) or via division (e.g., miles per hour, meters per second). Sometimes, the combination can involve multiplication and division and may become quite complex and cumbersome. That's when other names are used as substitutions. For example, the kilogram-meter-squared per second-squared is called a joule.

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.

What combining form means strange or other?
Xeno- is the combining form meaning strange or other.
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 type of metal is made by combining other metlals?
The result of combining different metals is an alloy.
Explain why it is futile to try to create gold by combining other elements?
Because gold is an element a pure substance cannot be created by combining other elements
How is metal improved by technology?

A physical property that is measure of the distance from one end of somethingto the other?
The measurement from one end of an object to the other end of the object is called the length of the object.
