Expert Solution

(1)

Coefficient of Static (µ_s) and Kinetic (µ_k) friction has no units

Coefficent of friction is ratio of frictional force and normal force acting to the surface. So, coefficient of friction has no units. ( Ratio of simlilar physical quantities )

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2)

The rate of change of velocity is acceleration.

If the speed of an object changes at a constant rate, this is known as constant acceleration (or) uniform accleration.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3)

The quantity of matter is called mass of object. It is same at everywhere. It can be measure by using ordinary balance; whereas, the weight is a force acting due to gravity on that particular surface. It varies place to place as it directly varies with gravity. It can be measure with the help of spring balance.
