physics dynamics - explaining motion system of unit summary of si units system of units

  1. $100$

  2. $10$

  3. $1$

  4. $0.1$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
1 Sq. Centimeter = 100 Sq. Millimeters
1 Sq. Millimeter = 0.01 Sq. Centimeter

_______ square centimetres = $1$ square decimetre ($dm^2$ )

physics dynamics - explaining motion system of unit summary of si units system of units

  1. $100$

  2. $10$

  3. $1000$

  4. $0.1$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$1\ cm=0.1\ dm$ or $10\ cm=1\ dm$

Thus, $1\ dm\times  1\ dm=10\ cm\times 10\ cm$
So, $1\ dm^2=100\ cm^2$

Which of the following is used as SI prefixes:

physics dynamics - explaining motion system of unit summary of si units system of units

  1. Micro

  2. Mica

  3. Mikro

  4. Maca

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Micro is a prefix used in defining some units.  Whenever the word micro is attached as a prefix to an SI unit,  it means it is one million times smaller than that unit. For example, 1 micrometre is one millionth part of a metre. Rest all other options are not   prefixes 

Which of the following is not used as SI prefixes:

physics dynamics - explaining motion system of unit summary of si units system of units

  1. Deca

  2. Kilo

  3. Femto

  4. Mica

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

When 'Deca' is attached as a prefix to a unit, it means it is 10 times of that unit.  Kilo means thousand times of a unit.  Femto means of $ {10}^{-15} $ of a unit. Mica is not a prefix but a name of a specific material.

Which of the following is used as SI prefixes:

physics dynamics - explaining motion system of unit summary of si units system of units

  1. Femto

  2. Atto

  3. Zepto

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Here femto, atto and zepto, all are used as a prefix in the SI system.

In metric systme, $1 $ femtometer $=10^{-15}$ meter,  $1 $ attometer $=10^{-18}$ meter and $1 $ zeptometer $=10^{-21}$ meter

Which of the following is used as SI prefix:

physics dynamics - explaining motion system of unit summary of si units system of units

  1. Mega

  2. Hecto

  3. Tera

  4. Mara

Show answer
Correct Option: A,B,C
Explanation:

Mega, Hecto and Tera are used as SI prefix. Mega is used for $10^{6}$, Hecto for $10^2$ and Tera for $10^{12}$.

If the values of force and length are increased four times, then the unit of energy will be increase by:

physics dynamics - explaining motion system of unit summary of si units system of units

  1. 4 times

  2. 2 times

  3. 8 times

  4. 16 times

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
The correct option is D
We have, $f=4[MLT^{-2}]$ and $d=4[L]$

$E=f\times d$

We know that Energy is equal to the product of force and distance.

Thus,
$=4[MLT^{-2}]\times4[L]$

$=16[ML^2T^{-2}]$

If both increased by 4times then the energy increased by $16\ times$

If unit of mass, length and time are tripled, then unit of energy becomes:

physics dynamics - explaining motion system of unit summary of si units system of units

  1. $3$

  2. $\dfrac{1}{3}$

  3. $9$

  4. $\dfrac{1}{9}$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Unit of Energy $kg\,m^2/s^2$

Unit of length $= m$ (metre)

Unit of mass $= kg$ (kilogram)

Unit of time $= s$ (second)


Thus unit of energy in terms of unit of mass, length and time is given by,

$Unit \,of\, Energy =\dfrac{(Unit\,of\,mass)\times(Unit\,of\,length)^2}{(Unit\,of\,time)^2}$

If the unit of mass, length and time are tripled the unit of energy will be,

$Unit \,of\, Energy =\dfrac{(3\times Unit\,of\,mass)\times(3\times Unit\,of\,length)^2}{(3\times Unit\,of\,time)^2}$

$Unit \,of\, Energy =3\times \dfrac{(Unit\,of\,mass)\times(Unit\,of\,length)^2}{(Unit\,of\,time)^2}$

$Unit\,of\,energy=3\times Unit\,of\,energy$

Therefore, if the unit of mass, length and time are tripled, the unit of energy will be, 3 times more than the original unit of energy.

If a thermometer reads freezing point of water at 20 degree Celsius and boiling point as 150 degree Celsius, how much thermometer can read when the actual temperature is 60 degree Celsius?
