Which of the following physical quantities has the unit ms-1?
0
1
Solution
Option B is the correct answer.
Velocity has the unit $\rm ms^{-1}$.
We know, $\rm velocity = \frac{displacement}{time taken}$
The fundamental unit of displacement is ‘m’ and that of time is ‘s’.
Thus, the unit of velocity is $\rm \frac{m}{s} = ms^{-1}$.
On the other hand, the units of acceleration, force, and density are $\rm ms^{-2}$, $\rm kgms^{-2}$, and $\rm kgm^{-3}$, respectively.
