21. Electron-volt is a unit of ____. [S.S.C. Online CGL (T-I) 13.08.2021 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (d) energy
Solution:The electron-volt (eV) is unit of energy commonly used in atomic and nuclear physics.
  • One electron volt is equal to the energy present in an electron or a charged particle of unit charge.
  • 1 eV = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J.

22. The mass of an object is a _____. [S.S.C. Online C.P.O.S.I. (T-I) 1.07.2017 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (d) All options are correct
Solution:
  1. The Fundamental quantity is independent physical quantity that is impossible to express in other physical quantities, like-Length and Time. Therefore mass is fundamental quantity.
  2. Mass is a physical quantity because by the laws of physics it can be expressed in terms.
  3. Mass is a scalar quantity, as it has only magnitude.

Hence option (d) will be the correct answer.

23. What is the unit of relative density? [S.S.C. Online CHSL (T-I) 15.01.2017 (Shift-III)]

Correct Answer: (d) It has no unit
Solution:

Relative Density is a ratio, so it has no unit.

The formula of relative density is -

Relative Density =Density of Substance/Density of Water

Hence, Relative density is a dimensionless quantity, therefore there is no SI Unit of relative density.

24. What is the unit of relative density? [S.S.C. Online C.P.O.S.I. (T-I) 7.07.2017 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (d) no unit
Solution:

Relative Density is a ratio, so it has no unit.

The formula of relative density is -

Relative Density =Density of Substance/Density of Water

Hence, Relative density is a dimensionless quantity, therefore there is no SI Unit of relative density.

25. The density of a substance's material is its mass divided by_______ . [SSC. JE Electrical Exam 22.03.2021 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (a) Volume
Solution:The amount of a substance contained in a unit volume of a substance is called the density of that substance,

i.e. Density p =Mass (m) /Volume (v)

The SI unit of density is kg/m³.

Hence the density of the material of a substance (p) is its mass (m) divided by the volume (V).

26. What is the unit of radioactive? [S.S.C. Online CHSL (T-I) 31.01.2017 (Shift-III)]

Correct Answer: (b) Becquerel
Solution:The unit of radioactivity is the Becquerel. It was discovered by Henri Becquerel.

27. What is the unit of the physical quantity, Momentum? [S.S.C. Online CHSL (T-I) 30.01.2017 (Shift -II)]

Correct Answer: (a) Newton Second
Solution:The momentum of an object is equal to the product of its mass and velocity.
  • Momentum =Mass × Velocity
  • Momentum is a vector quantity.
  • The SI unit of momentum is a kilogram meter per second.
  • It is also called Newton second.

28. Which among the following is a vector quantity? [S.S.C. Online CHSL (T-I) 15.01.2017 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (b) Angular momentum
Solution:

Angular Momentum is a vector quantity.
