Quantities and units of physics – problems and solutions

1.

Quantities and units of physics – problems and solutions 10

The correct International Unit showed by student…

A. R and S

B. P and R

C. P and Q

D. Q and S

Solution

Student P :

The international unit of length is meter (m), not centimeter (cm)

The measuring instrument of length is the ruler.

Student Q :

The international unit of electric current is Ampere (A)

The measuring instrument of electric current is an Ampere meter.

Student R :

The international unit of temperature is Kelvin (K)

The measuring instrument of temperature is a thermometer, not a hydrometer.

A hydrometer is an instrument used for measuring the density of liquids based on the concept of buoyancy.

Student S :

The international unit (SI) of mass is kilogram (Kg)

The measuring instrument of mass is a balance scale

The correct data and based on the SI unit (International Unit) shown by student Q and S.

The correct answer is D.

2. Find the correct relation between quantity and unit.

Quantities and units of physics – problems and solutions 2

Solution

Force = Mass x Acceleration

The international unit of mass is kilogram (kg)

The international unit of acceleration is meter per second squared (m/s2)

Unit of force = kg m/s2 = kg m s-2

Pressure = force / area

International unit of force is kg m/s2

The international unit of area is m2

Unit of pressure = kg /m s2 = kg m-1 s-2

Energy = Work

Work = force x displacement

International unit of force is kilogram meter per second squared (kg m/s2)

The international unit of displacement is meter (m)

Unit of energy = unit of work= kg m2/s2 = kg m2 s-2

Power = Work / time

International unit of work is kilogram meter squared per second squared (kg m2/s2)

The international unit of time is second (s)

Unit of power is kg m2/s3 = kg m2 s-3

The correct answer is D.

D. Length, Newton, time, volume, meter

Solution :

A = Length

B = Kilogram

C = Time

D = Area

E = Kg m/s2 = Newton

The correct answer is B.

4. Determine the pair of basic quantities and units in the International System.

A. Length– meter, mass – kg and electric charge—coulomb

B. Time – second, temperature – Kelvin, luminous intensity—Candela

Solution

Basic quantities and International unit (SI) :

Length – meter (m)

Mass – kilogram (kg)

Time – second (s)

Temperature – Kelvin (K)

Luminous intensity—Candela

The correct answer is B.
