That would be an angle; the SI unit for angle is the radian. However, that is not the unit that is commonly used in this case.

What is the SI unit of velocity?

Velocity is comprised of a speed part and a direction part. (any SI unit of length)/(any SI unit of time) is a unit of speed. The simplest one, in SI base units, would be meters/second . Direction is most often stated as an angle.

What is the unit of luminious intensity?

candela--------------------------------------------The official international definition of candela (1979) is:"The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 x 10e12 hertz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian".


How is wind direction recorded?

Wind direction is typically recorded using a wind vane or weather vane, which rotates to point in the direction from which the wind is blowing. The wind vane is mounted on a fixed structure and connected to a display unit that indicates the wind direction. Measurements are often reported in cardinal directions (e.g. north, south, east, west) or in degrees.


What unit of measurement does a wind vane measure?

It shows the direction where the wind is coming from. Like the North, South, East or west. Weather vane or wind vane does not measure anything, it just shows the direction the wind is out of, a wind monitor measures the force the wind is blowing, in mph or kph. Wind vanes indicate wind direction and when this information is recorded, describes the direction FROM which the wind is blowing. Wind vanes measure the direction in which the wind is blowing. anemometer The direction the wind is blowing from. So it measures wind direction.


What is SI unit of unit vector?

The unit vector itself does not have a specific SI unit because it is a dimensionless quantity. A unit vector is defined as a vector with a magnitude of one, used to indicate direction. It is typically represented as a normalized form of a vector, retaining the direction while discarding the magnitude. Therefore, it is expressed in the same units as the original vector from which it is derived, but the unit vector itself is simply a ratio and has no 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.

No, it isn't even an SI unit. The SI unit for mass is the kilogram. The SI unit for volume is the cubic meter.


Does a wind vane measure in millibars?

A wind vane measures direction of the wind. Millibars are a measure of pressure. A barometer measures in millibars.
