Question 18

What is unusual about the kilogram among the SI base units?

  1. It is the only one still defined by a physical object
  2. It is the only one whose name and symbol already contain a prefixBonne réponse
  3. It is the only one with no symbol of its own
  4. It is the only one that may not be used with prefixes

Explication

For historical reasons the base unit of mass is the kilogram rather than the gram, so its name and symbol carry the prefix kilo. Since the 2019 redefinition it is no longer tied to a physical object.
