Physical quantities can be measured and are either base or derived quantities. Base quantities include length, mass, time, temperature, and current, each with their own standard units. Derived quantities are defined in terms of base quantities, such as speed being derived from distance and time through division.

• A physical quantity is a quantity that can be measured.
• A physical quantity can be divided into base quantity and derived quantity.
• Base quantities are the quantities that cannot be defined in term of
other physical quantity. • Take note that, the unit of temperature is Kelvin but not Celsius. • The 5 base quantities and its units are as in the table below:
• A derived quantity is a Physics quantity that
is not a base quantity. It is the quantities which derived from the base quantities through multiplying and/or dividing them. • For example, speed is defined as the rate of change of distance, Mathematically, we write this as Speed = Distance/Time. Both distance and time are base quantities, whereas speed is a derived quantity as it is derived from distance and time through division. @icebearrawrr Area Pressure
