GCSE Maths Practice: units-and-conversions

Question 9 of 10

This question checks understanding of compound measures, where two quantities are combined, e.g., speed, density, pressure.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which of the following are compound measures?}\end{array} \)

Select all correct options:

Focus on measures that combine two quantities via division or ratio.

Compound measures combine two physical quantities, such as speed (distance/time), density (mass/volume), and pressure (force/area). Recognizing which measures are compound is crucial in physics, chemistry, and engineering problems. Distance alone is not a compound measure. Practicing identification and calculation of compound measures strengthens problem-solving skills and understanding of real-world applications.
