  1. I am trying to figure it out too. Workbook pages! Argh!  


  2. A SI base unit is the single and direct measurement unit for a physical entity. E.g.  For mass it is kg, for time it is sec, A derived unit is determined by a physical equation with the base units, like for velocity equals distance divided by time, in SI units: unit of v (velocity)= m (meter) divided by sec (seconds).

  3. SI = Standard international units.

    Derived units = Units derived from something.

    It is SI derived units that you want to know, they are the same thing.

    It is known as "SI derived units" because in your case they are derived from standard international units.
