Question

why is acceleration is called derived quantity

Answer 1

Answer:

the acceleration is derived from the some other quantities like change in velocity / time take .

where velocity is derived from displacement/ time taken.

if we see carefully that formula of acceleration you find that it is basically derived from fundamental quantities therefore acceleration is called a derived quantities.

Answer 2

• The acceleration is calculated using other variables such as velocity change and time taken. where velocity is calculated by dividing the distance travelled by the time it took.
• where velocity is derived from displacement/ time taken. if we see carefully that formula of acceleration you find that it is basically derived from fundamental quantities therefore acceleration is called a derived quantities.

Why is it called derived quantities?

• Derived quantities are quantities that are calculated from two or more measurements.
• Derived quantities cannot be measured directly.
• They can only be computed.
• Many derived quantities are calculated in physical science.

What is called acceleration?

• Acceleration, rate at which velocity changes with time, in terms of both speed and direction.
• A point or an object moving in a straight line is accelerated if it speeds up or slows down.

Which of the following is derived quantity?

• Mass, Length & Time are fundamental physical quantity while velocity is derived physical quantity.
