The SI unit of velocity is:

Answer: metre per second.

  • A metre per second
  • B the metre
  • C metre per second²
  • D the second

Correct answer: A. metre per second

Explanation: Velocity is displacement per time, so its unit is m/s.

tvuvTΔtΔvslope = aarea = displacement (s)

On a velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration, the slope of the line gives the acceleration and the shaded area under the line gives the displacement.

Concept context

Equations of motion, projectile motion, relative velocity. Foundation of all mechanics.
