What is the measurement unit of velocity?
A
m/h
B
m/m
C
m/s2
D
m/s
E
m/m2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The SI unit of velocity is metre per second (m/s). Alternatively, the velocity magnitude can also be expressed in centimetres per second (cm/s).

Detailed explanation-2: -The SI unit of average velocity is m s-1 or m/s. CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit for velocity is cm s⁻¹ .

Detailed explanation-3: -(a) The rate of change of displacement is known as the velocity. It can be calculated by obtaining the ratio of displacement and the total time taken. The SI unit of velocity is ‘m/s’, same as of the speed.

Detailed explanation-4: -The meter per second (symbolized m/s or m/sec) is the Standard International ( SI ) unit of linear speed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Velocity is measured in m/s. So we put acceleration as m/s per second. Using simple math, we come up with the unit m/s^2.
