Answer:

The statement is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Any physical quantity has a unique dimensional representation and when we change the dimensions of any physical quantity it looses it's original form. while as unit conversion is applicable to physical quantities of same nature as speed can be converted from kilometers per hour to miles per hour or meters per second, changing the units of any physical quantity into different unit's but of same dimensional formula only changes a magnitude of the physical quantity as in the above case the speed will be speed no matter whatever be the units.

since
(m^3)/(sec) are not the units of velocity but of volumetric rate of flow we cannot convert this quantity into velocity by only unit conversion
