The unit m3s-1 can represent a multitude of things, depending upon the context.

It is most likely to represent the rate of change of volume, with respect to (wrt) time:

dV

dt

This is commonly a feature of problems in which a container is being filled at a certain rate (in m3s-1). The volume at any particular moment in time, V will simply be the integral of dv/dt, wrt time, after setting an additional constant such that V(t=k) generates the volume known for a specific time t=k.

Additionally, in a purely mathematical sense, it is possible to represent the force exerted in an area throughout a period of time, per unit mass, using this unit.

This (fictional) measure, with expression FAt/m [F=force(N), A=area(m^2), t=time(s), m=mass(kg)] arises, as 1N=1kgms-2, and so:

FAt/m -> kgms-2m2s kg-1 = kg0m3s-1 = m3s-1

This expression is also equivalent to moment in an area, per unit mass (pA/m) or simply velocity in an area (Av).

Any equation involving a product of length cubed and the reciprocal of time, with any additional units cancelling will also result in this unit, although most of these have no present applications in the field of physics.

What unit would you get if you divide meters per second by meters?

The meters cancel, so you get "per second", or "1/second". That unit has the special name hertz. It is a unit of frequency.


Common unit is meters per second for what?

The common unit of meters per second is used to measure speed or velocity. It represents the distance traveled in meters per each second of time.


The si unit of velocity is the meter per second squared true or false?

False. The SI unit of velocity is meters per second (m/s), not meters per second squared. Meters per second squared is the unit for acceleration.


What is the SI unit for constant speed?

There is no "unit for constant speed".The SI unit for speed (just "speed") is meters per second. Constant speed means there is no acceleration; the unit for acceleration is meters per second squared.


Is meters per second a base unit?

No, it is a derived unit.
