1 a) Metre and second are base units and speed is a derived quantity; the only base quantity is
therefore length – the answer is A. [1]
b) Force is a derived quantity; metre and second are both base units; the newton, N, is the only
derived unit – the answer is C. [1]
c) Acceleration and force both have implied direction and so are vector quantities; metre is a
unit; speed has magnitude only, and so is a scalar quantity – the answer is D. [1]
d) Distance, mass and time have magnitude but not direction and are all scalar quantities;
velocity is the only vector quantity – the answer is D. [1]
