In class you learned that physics needs only seven (7) basic quantities to measure everything in the known universe. However, it is combinations of these quantities that we use mostly, especially in our everyday lives. For example, two of the basic quantities are length and time. We can put them together and derive speed. How many different derived quantities do you think we can have using only the seven basic quantities?

The derived units are limitless

Explanation:

Derived unit are quantity gotten from the basic or fundamental unit. The number of derivatives from the basic unit are endless but for College school student they are pegged as at least 50. Examples are Area, Volume, Velocity, Acceleration, Angular velocity, Angular acceleration, Density, Momentum
