Derived units are combinations of base units -for example, a metre per second is a derived unit (for velocity), made up of the base units metre and second. What is the difference between a base unit and a derived unit? A base unit is a defined unit in a system of measurement that is based on an object or event in the physical world. A derived unit is a unit that is defined by a combin â¦ ation of base units.
