Free Measurements MCQs with Answers
262 Measurements MCQs from Physics, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.
Physical quantities are expressed with SI base and derived units, while measurement limits are described through accuracy, precision, absolute and percentage error, and significant figures. Dimensional analysis checks equations, derives relationships and detects inconsistent units, but it cannot determine numerical constants or distinguish quantities with identical dimensions.

- A. Pressure
- B. Work
- C. Momentum
- D. Force
Explanation: The dimension of kinetic energy [M1L2 T-2] is the same as that of work.
Correct answer: Work- A. Length, mass, temperature
- B. Length, time, velocity
- C. Length, time, mass
- D. Mass, time, electric current
Explanation: Length, time and velocity cannot enter into the list of fundamental quantities because velocity can be expressed in terms of length and…
Correct answer: Length, time, velocity- A. Solar year
- B. Tropical year

Correct answer: Light year- A. 1.728 x 10^-6 m3
- B. 1.72 x 10^-6 m3
- C. 1.7 x 10^-6 m3
- D. 0.72 x 10^-6 m3
Explanation: The following is the solution: Volume=l3=1.728x10-6m3 The length has two significant figures, hence v = 1.7x10-6 m3
