Question

Which terms correctly represent a vector quantity and its respective unit?

a
speed - meters per second
b
weight - kilogram
c
mass - kilogram
d
force - Newton

Answer 1

The correct representation of a vector quantity and its respective unit from the options provided is:

d. force - Newton

Force is a vector quantity, and its unit is the Newton (N).

To clarify the others:

a. speed - meters per second (Speed is a scalar quantity, not a vector.)
b. weight - kilogram (Weight is a vector quantity but is measured in Newtons, not kilograms.)
c. mass - kilogram (Mass is a scalar quantity, not a vector.)

Therefore, option (d) is the only correct pairing.
