A "derived unit" is a specific combination of base units with its own name. (3)

Examples:

kilogram-meter / second²                                 Newton

Coulomb / second                                             Ampere

kilogram-meter² / second² (Newton-meter)     Joule

kilogram-meter² / second³ (Joule / sec)           Watt
