Here are the solutions to the questions:
a) The unit of speed is m/s. The unit m/s2 is the unit of acceleration. A student confusing the unit of speed with the unit of acceleration indicates a misunderstanding of the fundamental concept of speed versus acceleration. This is a conceptual error.
The correct option is Conceptual error.
b) A Newton (N) is the SI unit of force. According to Newton's second law, force (F) is equal to mass (m) times acceleration (a), so F=ma.
The SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg).
The SI unit for acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s2).
Therefore, 1 Newton is equivalent to:
1N=1kg⋅s2m
The correct option is 1kg⋅m/s2.
c) The seven SI base quantities are: length, mass, time, electric current, temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity.
- Electric current is an SI base quantity.
- Temperature is an SI base quantity.
- Force is a derived quantity, defined as mass times acceleration (kg⋅m/s2). It is not a base quantity.
- Amount of substance is an SI base quantity.
The correct option is Force.
