Question : 6
Which of the following is not a fundamental unit?
a) metre
b) newton
c) kilogram
d) second
Answer »Answer: (b)
Fundamental unit:
The SI unit of a fundamental quantity is called a fundamental unit.
There are 7 fundamental quantities and their fundamental units.
The fundamental quantities are Length, Mass, Time, Electric Current, Thermodynamic Temperature, Luminous Intensity, etc.
Fundamental Quantities | |
Quantities | S.I unit |
Mass | Kilogram (kg) |
Length | meter (m) |
Time | second (s) |
Amount of Substance | Mole (mol) |
Temperature | Kelvin (K) |
Electric Current | Ampere (A) |
Luminous intensity | Candela (cd) |
Also know,
Fundamental Quantity:
An independent physical quantity that cannot be expressed in terms of other physical quantities is called fundamental quantity.
They are conventionally chosen. It is used as a base to get other derived quantities by combining them.
Supplementary units:
The units that are used along with base units to form derived units in the International System are called supplementary units.
Supplementary Quantities | |
Plane angle | radian (rad) |
Solid angle | steradian (Sr) |
Derived Quantities | |
Force | Newton (N) |
Work | Joule (J), calorie |
Pressure | Pascal (Pa) |
Power | Watt (W) |
Explanation for the question:
meter (m), kilogram (Kg) and second (s) are the fundamental units of fundamental quantities Length, Mass and Time respectively.
Where Newton (N) is a Derived Quantities.
Question : 7
Assertion :
Density is a derived physical quantity.
Reason :
Density cannot be derived from the fundamental physical quantities.
a) If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
c) If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
d) If Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.

Question : 8 [NDA]
A stone is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity u from the top of a tower of height g ${12u^2}/g$ . With what velocity does the stone reach the ground ?
a) 5u
b) u
c) 4u
d) 2$√{6}$u
Answer »Answer: (a)
As already We know that, when a particle is thrown vertically upward with a velocity u from a point A, the particle returns the point A with the same velocity u.
Now, using the fact $v^2=u^2+2gh$, we obtain $v^2=u^2+2g × {12u^2}/{g} ⇒ v^2 = u^2+24u^2$
⇒ v = 5u
Question : 9 [UPPCS (Spl)(Mains) 2004]
Which one of the following is not correctly matched?
a) Nautical miles - Unit of naval distance

c) Horsepower - Unit of power
d) Celsius - Unit of heat
Answer »Answer: (d)
Celsius - Unit of Temperature.
Some more examples,
SI Unit | Other Units | |
Temperature | Kelvin (K) | Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F) |
Heat | Joule (J) | Calorie, British Thermal Unit (BTU) |
Sound | Decibel (dB) | |
Distance | Meter (m) | Yard, Kilometer, Nautical mile, Mile |
Power | Watt (W) or Joule per sec | Ergs/sec, Horsepower (hp) |
