Here's why:
* Derived quantities are quantities that are calculated from other quantities, typically using a formula.
* Base quantities are fundamental, independent measurements. Examples include:
* Length (meter)
* Mass (kilogram)
* Time (second)
* Temperature (Kelvin)
* Electric current (Ampere)
* Amount of substance (mole)
* Luminous intensity (candela)
Examples of derived quantities:
* Speed is derived from distance and time (speed = distance/time)
* Area is derived from length (area = length x width)
* Volume is derived from length (volume = length x width x height)
* Density is derived from mass and volume (density = mass/volume)
* Force is derived from mass and acceleration (force = mass x acceleration)
