Fundamental & Derived Quantities

• 1. Magnitude and direction are properties of vector quantities.
• 2. Physical quantities are of two types – Fundamental and Derived.
• 3. Fundamental quantities are independent physical quantities.
• 4. Derived quantities are dependent on other physical quantities.
• 5. Examples of fundamental quantities include mass, length, time, temperature etc.
• 6. Examples of derived quantities include speed, weight, force, pressure etc.
• 7. Thus, fundamental quantities are basic, while derived ones are obtained from them.
