The SI (metric) unit of time is the second.

The second is technically defined thus:

The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium 133 atom.

The cesium atom must be at rest at 0o K (absolute zero temperature).

What units are SI units... a. meter per second b. minute per meter c. gram per second d. kg meter per second e. km per second... How can you tell?

a. Meter per second and d. kg meter per second are SI units because they involve the base SI units meter (m) and kilogram (kg). b. Minute per meter, c. gram per second, and e. km per second are not SI units as they do not use the base SI units.

What is the SI unit for velocity?

Meter per secondThere is no standard SI unit for velocity actually. It is a derived unit. Velocity is distance traveled per time together with the direction of motion. The SI unit of distance is the meter (m) and the SI unit of time is the second (s).So the units of velocity in SI units is meters/second (m/s), or ms-1See the Related Questions link to the left "What are all the SI units" for more information about SI units.CommentDerived units are SI units.
