'''Obesity''' is defined as having an excessive accummulation of body fat. Obesity is being at a body weight that is considered unhealthy. The terms "overweight" and "obesity" can sometimes be mistaken for the same meaning. However, '''overweight''' is defined as a body weight in excess of a recommended range for good health. '''BMI''', or body mass index, is a method of classifying overweight and obesity.

Are volume and mass different?
Mass is defined as the quantity of matter in an object. This is measured in grams as the standard unit. Weight is diffrernt than mass! Volume is defined as the amount of space an object takes up. This is measured in liters.

What is the arithmetic density of Yemen?

Why is a joule called a joule?
The SI derived unit of energy is named after James Prescott Joule, an English physicist andbrewer who lived from 1818 to 1889. Joule studied the nature of heat, and discovered itsrelationship to mechanical work. This led to the theory of conservation of energy, whichled to the development of the first law of thermodynamics.
What is derive quantities with explanation?
A derived quantity is one that is derived from others. For example, the meter is the official unit of length; since area can be defined as a length squared, that's exactly how the area is defined in the SI, i.e., it is measured in square meters. Similarly, a speed is measured in meters/second (both meters and seconds are defined as base quantities).
What is impedance and its unit of measurement?
Impedance is measured in Ohms defined as total resistance to current (Amps) flow
