Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Physics - 2015 (Objective) Subject: Physics

Question 1 Report

Which of the following units is derived?
Answer Details
The derived units are those that can be obtained from the combination of two or more base units. Among the options given, N (Newton) is a derived unit because it is obtained from the combination of kg (kilogram), m (meter), and s (second) through the formula F=ma, where F is the force in N, m is the mass in kg, and a is the acceleration in m/s^2. On the other hand, kg (kilogram), m (meter), and K (Kelvin) are base units because they are independent and cannot be derived from any other unit.
