"SI unit" and "metric unit" basically means the same. The only metric system used nowadays is the SI. For a specific object, the heat capacity is measured in J/K. To compare different materials, it is of interest to specify the heat capacity PER KILOGRAM, so the units are J / (K times kg). It is also possible to specify heat capacity in J / (K times mole). This would also be SI units.

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.

Latent heat is a type of heat, and heat is a type of energy. Therefore, units of energy are used. In the SI, that would be the joule.
In SI units, temperature is measured in Kelvin (K), and when people record the "heat" (such as how warm a room is, etc.) they usually mean temperature. If you mean heat in the strict scientific sense, you're talking about a transfer of energy, and energy has SI units of Joules.
In SI, all forms of energy are measured in joules.

In the SI, the same is used as for any other kind of energy: the Joule.
