Worked practice questions

Measurement compares a quantity against a standard called a:

  1. Unit
  2. Ratio
  3. Scale
  4. Curve
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Unit

1. Any measurement needs something to compare against. 2. That reference standard is chosen and agreed internationally. 3. It is called a unit. _Source: syllabus Physics Part I, Chapter 2, Units and Measurement._

A measurement is reported as a unit together with a:

  1. Diagram
  2. Number
  3. Colour
  4. Symbol
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Number

1. Stating only the unit says nothing about how much. 2. A numerical measure is needed alongside it. 3. So a result is a number accompanied by a unit. _Source: syllabus Physics Part I, Chapter 2, Units and Measurement._

Although physical quantities are many, the units needed are:

  1. Limited
  2. Endless
  3. Countless
  4. Uncounted
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Limited

1. The quantities are related to one another. 2. So most can be built from a few basic ones. 3. Only a limited number of units is needed. _Source: syllabus Physics Part I, Chapter 2, Units and Measurement._
