​1. SI Base Unit for Electric Current ​Answer: Ampere (\text{A}) ​2. Fundamental (Base) Physical Quantity ​Answer: Mass (Velocity, Force, and Work are all derived quantities). ​3. Dimensional Formula for Mechanical Energy or Work ​Answer: M L^2 T^{-2} (derived from \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Displacement} = (M L T^{-2})(L) = M L^2 T^{-2}). ​4. Speed Conversion (72\text{ km/h} to \text{m/s}) ​Answer: 20\text{ m/s} (Calculation: 72 \times \frac{5}{18} = 20\text{ m/s}) ​5. Significant Figures in 0.00450\text{ m} ​Answer: 3 significant figures (leading zeros are placeholders, while the trailing zero after the decimal is significant). ​6. Metric Prefix and Symbol for 10^{-9} ​Answer: Nano, represented by the symbol \text{n}. ​7. Dimensional Check of v = u + at ​Answer: Dimensionally consistent. ​Velocity (v and u): [L T^{-1}] ​Acceleration \times time (at): [L T^{-2}] \times [T] = [L T^{-1}] ​Since all terms share the exact same dimensions ([L T^{-1}]), the equation is valid. ​8. Derived Physical Quantity for \text{kg} \cdot \text{m} / \text{s}^2 ​Answer: Force (which is measured in Newtons, \text{N}). ​9. Scientific Notation for 5,600,000\text{ m} ​Answer: 5.6 \times 10^6\text{ m} (assuming two significant figures based on the standard presentation, or 5.60 \times 10^6\text{ m} if three are implied). ​10. Fundamental Dimensions of Pressure ​Answer: M L^{-1} T^{-2} (Pressure = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}} = \frac{M L T^{-2}}{L^2} = M L^{-1} T^{-2})
