The unit of speed is m/s. The two terms metre and second are fundamental quantities.

As,m/s is derived from these two fundamental quantities. Therefore, Unit of speed is a derived unit.

Answer:


\boxed{ \sf{see \: below}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit of speed is metre per second or m / s. It clearly depends on two fundamental units ; unit of length ( metre ) and unit of time ( second ). Hence , m/s is a derived unit.

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
