Velocity is referred as the rate of change of displacement with respect to time. As a result is dependent on both displacement as well as time. Hence it is referred to as derived unit. However time is not dependent on any other unit and hence it is said to be fundamental unit
Explanation:
- Time is said to be a fundamental unit because it is not dependent on one or more units. However velocity is dependent on two fundamental unit which are that of length and that of time.
- Those Unit which are not dependent on it cell is known as fundamental unit where as those units which are dependent on two or more fundamental units are said to be derived unit.
- the derived unit are actually derived due to different mathematical operations between different fundamental units
