Base unit (measurement) aspects of the world, such as time, distance, velocity, mass, temperature, energy, and weight, and "units" are used to describe their magnitude or quantity. Many of these quantities are related to each other by various physical laws, and as a result the units of a quantities can be generally be expressed as a product of powers of other units; for example, momentum is mass multiplied by velocity, while velocity is measured in distance divided by time. These relationships are discussed in dimensional analysis. Those that can be expressed in this fashion in terms of the base units are called .
Product of group subsets "ST", then "ST" coincides with the semidirect product of "S" and "T". Finally, if both "S" and "T" are normal in "ST", then "ST" coincides with the direct product of "S" and "T". If "S" and "T" are subgroups whose intersection is the trivial subgroup (identity element) and additionally "ST" = "G", then "S" is called a complement of "T" and vice versa. By a (locally unambiguous) abuse of terminology, two subgroups that intersect only on the (otherwise obligatory) identity are sometimes called disjoint. A question that arises in the case of a non-trivial intersection between a normal subgroup "N"
