    A. Second
    Explanation
    The SI unit for time is the second. It is defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom. The second is widely used in scientific and everyday measurements of time, and it is the base unit for all other units of time in the International System of Units (SI).

    Which of the following measurements would NOT be used for measuring the height of someone?

    • Centi-meters

    • Inches

    • Liters

    • Feet

    • Meters

    Correct Answer
    A. Liters
    Explanation
    Liter is an SI measurement of VOLUME and hence can't be used to measure height.

  • 4. 

    Which of the following is the SI Measurement for Force?

    • Joule

    • Watt

    • Metre

    • Second

    • Newton

    Correct Answer
    A. Newton
    Explanation
    Newton is the SI unit for force. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton, a renowned physicist. The Newton is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. It is commonly used to measure the force exerted on an object or the force required to move an object. Other options such as Joule, Watt, Metre, and Second are SI units for energy, power, distance, and time, respectively, and are not directly related to force.

    Convert 1.2 meters into millimeters.

    • 12mm

    • 120mm

    • 1200mm

    • 120km

    • 12km

    Correct Answer
    A. 1200mm
    Explanation
    To convert meters to millimeters, we need to multiply the given value by 1000 since there are 1000 millimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, 1.2m is equal to 1200mm.

    Which of the following is a unit of electric current?

    • Ohm

    • Volt

    • Watt

    • Amp

    • Coulomb

    Correct Answer
    A. Amp
    Explanation
    The unit of electric current is amp, short for ampere. It is a measurement of the rate at which electric charge flows in a circuit. Ohm is the unit of electrical resistance, volt is the unit of electrical potential difference, watt is the unit of power, and coulomb is the unit of electric charge.

    238000 Joules would be better expressed as:

    • 2.38MJ

    • 238kJ

    • 23.8GJ

    • 238mJ

    • 0.238kJ

    Correct Answer
    A. 238kJ
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 238kJ because the prefix "k" represents kilo, which is equal to 1000. Therefore, 238kJ is equivalent to 238,000 Joules.

    • 159000

    • 1590000

    Correct Answer
    A. 159000
    Explanation
    To convert kilometers to centimeters, we need to multiply the number of kilometers by 100,000. In this case, 1.59 kilometers multiplied by 100,000 equals 159,000 centimeters. Therefore, the correct answer is 159000.
