The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the SI unit of kg·m/s, we will analyze each option provided and determine which physical quantity corresponds to this unit. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Unit**: The unit in question is kg·m/s. This can be interpreted as kilograms multiplied by meters per second. 2. **Analyzing Option 1: Impulse**: - Impulse is defined as the product of force and time. - The formula for impulse (J) is given by: \[ J = F \cdot t \] - The unit of force (F) is Newton (N), which is equivalent to kg·m/s². Therefore, the unit of impulse can be derived as: \[ J = (kg \cdot m/s^2) \cdot s = kg \cdot m/s \] - This matches the given unit (kg·m/s). 3. **Analyzing Option 2: Force**: - The unit of force is Newton (N), which is defined as: \[ F = m \cdot a \] - Here, mass (m) is in kilograms (kg) and acceleration (a) is in meters per second squared (m/s²). Thus, the unit of force is: \[ N = kg \cdot m/s^2 \] - This does not match the given unit of kg·m/s. 4. **Analyzing Option 3: Angular Velocity**: - Angular velocity (ω) is defined as the rate of change of angular displacement: \[ ω = \frac{d\theta}{dt} \] - The unit of angular displacement (θ) is radians (rad), and time (t) is in seconds (s). Therefore, the unit of angular velocity is: \[ ω = rad/s \] - This also does not match the given unit of kg·m/s. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the only option that corresponds to the unit kg·m/s is impulse, we conclude that the answer is: \[ \text{Option 1: Impulse} \] ### Final Answer: The SI unit of kg·m/s is **Impulse**.
