Question 1
In science, "SI" stands for "Système International d'Unités" (International System of Units). It is the modern form of the metric system and is used for measurement in most countries and in scientific contexts.
A base unit in the SI system is a fundamental unit that is not derived from other units. The 7 SI base units are: meter (for length), kilogram (for mass), second (for time), ampere (for electric current), kelvin (for temperature), mole (for amount of substance), and candela (for luminous intensity).
A derived unit in the SI system is a unit that is formed by combining base units through multiplication, division, or other mathematical operations. An example of a derived unit is the square meter ($m^2$) for area (derived from meter × meter) or the newton (N) for force (derived from $kg \cdot m/s^2$).
