Derived

Quantities

The purpose :
1. Able to mention the derived
quantities
2. Able to give the example of
derived quantities
3. Able to determine the volume of
solid
 Derived quantities are quantities derived
from basic quantities

Several examples of derived quantities

Area Square meters m2

Volume Cubic meters m3
Velocity meters per second m/s
Density Kilograms per cubic meters Kg/m3
Area is derived quantity which is
obtained
by multiplying two length quantities
Volume , similar to area, volume is also
derived of basic quantities.
That is the product
Of three length quantities

Solids which have uniform shape such as

Cube, volume can be calculated by using
Certain formula.
Meanwhile solids which have non
uniform
Shape such as stone, its volume can
be calculated directly.
How the methods
a.Fill the measuring glass with
wather

It is called initial volume

b. Then, put a stone that will be
measured into the measuring
glass

The volume of water and the stone are called

the final volume
So, the volume of stone
= final volume – initial volume
CONCLUSION
• Derived quantities are quantities
derived from basic quantities.
• Example : area (m2), volume (m3),
velocity (m/s), density(kg/m3),etc
• The vollume of thing = length x length x
length, and can be measured using a
measuring glass
