for example: unit for velocity is m/s and it is derived from basic units for length (m) and for time (s)

Hi,
Derived units are units that are derived from a set of basic units. For example in the SI system of measurements, two of the basic units are meter for length and second for time.
Some units derived from these would be these:
area - m²
volume - m^3
velocity - m/s
acceleration - m/s²
Hope I have made this is clear for you.

A derived unit....
A derivative is an item / something that has been obtained from something else..
e.g Diesel is a derivative of Oil
Petrol is a derivative of oil
Sunseed oil is derived from sunflower seeds
So this can be the same for many other things.
Sugar is derived from sugar beet
