The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following options is not a unit of speed, we will analyze each option provided: 1. **Meter per second (m/s)**: - This is a standard unit of speed in the International System of Units (SI). It measures how many meters are traveled in one second. - **Conclusion**: This is a unit of speed. 2. **Mile per hour (mi/h)**: - This unit measures how many miles are traveled in one hour. It is commonly used in the United States and other countries that use the imperial system. - **Conclusion**: This is a unit of speed. 3. **Kilometer per hour (km/h)**: - This unit measures how many kilometers are traveled in one hour. It is widely used for speed limits and vehicle speeds in many countries. - **Conclusion**: This is a unit of speed. 4. **Knot per hour (not/h)**: - The term "knot" is a unit of speed that is equal to one nautical mile per hour. However, the term "knot per hour" is not a standard unit of speed; it is redundant because a knot already indicates speed per hour. - **Conclusion**: This is not a standard unit of speed. Based on the analysis, the option that is not a unit of speed is **Knot per hour (not/h)**. ### Final Answer: **Knot per hour (not/h)** is not a unit of speed. ---
