Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-003050
A quantity that is defined in terms of base quantities through a system of equations. These quantities are not fundamental but are combinations of the basic physical dimensions. Examples include area, volume, density, and velocity, all of which can be expressed using combinations of length, mass, and time.
