Answer:
- Fundamental quantities are quantity whose definition does not depend on other quantities.
There are seven fundamental quantities in physics:
Length (measured in metres)
Mass (in kilograms)
Time (in seconds)
Electric current (in Ampere)
Temperature (in Kelvin)
Amount of substance (in moles)
Luminous intensity (in candela)
- On the other hand, derived quantities are quantities that are defined using the fundamental quantities.
For example, derived quantities are:
Velocity, which is the ratio between length and time
Acceleration, which is the ratio between velocity and time
Energy, which is a product of mass and velocity squared
And many others.
