  1. Kelvin

  2. Second

  3. Mole

  4. Candela

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\displaystyle N{ kg }^{ -1 }$ is the unit of 

physics measurements and units summary of si units fundamental quantities system of units

  1. Retardation

  2. Acceleration

  3. Rate of change of velocity

  4. All of these

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Acceleration is measured as   $a = \dfrac{Force}{mass}$

Thus, $N kg^{-1}$ is the unit of acceleration.

Retardation is the acceleration in the opposite direction.

Also, acceleration is defined as rate of change of velocity of the body.
Thus option D is correct.

Unit for the rate of change of velocity is

  1. $\displaystyle m/s$

  2. $\displaystyle { m }/{ { s }^{ 2 } }$

  3. $\displaystyle Ns$

  4. $\displaystyle N/s$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Rate of change of velocity is known as acceleration.
Unit of acceleration is  $m/s^2$

Light year is the unit of time.

physics measurements and units summary of si units fundamental quantities system of units

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
One light year is defined as the distance travelled by light in vacuum on one year. So light year is the unit of distance.
So, the given statement is false.
