[M¹L¹T⁻¹] is an expression for _______.(A) force (B) energy(C) pressure (D) momentum

Answer»

: option (D) momentumexplanation : LET's check options one - by - one. option (A) we know, FORCE = mass × accelerationso, dimension of force = dimension of mass × dimension of acceleration= [M1][L¹T-²] = [M¹L¹T-²] , obviously, it is not the answer.option (B) energy = WORKDONE = force × displacementdimension of energy = dimension of force × dimension of displacement= [M¹L¹T-²] × [L¹] = [M¹L²T-²] , it is not same as above mentioned.option (C), PRESSURE = force/area so, dimension of pressure = [M¹L¹T-²]/[L²]= [M¹L-¹T-²] , no it's not correct.option (D), momentum = mass × velocityso, dimension of momentum = [M¹][L¹T-¹]= [M¹L¹T-¹], hurray ! we got it, dimension of momentum is same as above mentioned.hence, option (D) is correct.

12.

The unit of energy is same as the unit of(A) power (B) momentum(C) work (D) force

Answer»

: option (C) work explanation : SI unit of energy is kgm²/s² or JOULE. LET's check all the options ! option (A) power , it cannot be possible because power is energy consumed per unit time. so, its SI unit is Kgm²/s³ or Wattoption (B) momentum, it cannot be not possible because momentum = mass × Velocity . so, its SI unit is Kgm/s or Nsoption (C) work, YES it is possible. work is the dot product of force and displacement. so, its SI unit is Kgm²/s² or Joule .option (D) force, it is obviously not possible. as all KNOW , Newton is si unit of force. hence, The unit of energy is same as the unit of work.

Check the correctness of T = 2π\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

Answer»

e period of a Simple pendulum is given by, Here, l is the length of pendulum, and g is the ACCELERATION due to gravity. Checking the correctness of the above equation through DIMENSIONAL analysis We need to prove that, The both sides of the equation have same dimensions. 2π is a dimensionless constant On the Left hand side TIME period = [T] On the right hand side 2π = No dimensions l = [L] g = [LT^-2]Now, T = 2π√(l/g)Therefore, The dimensions on both sides are equal. HENCE, is dimensionally correct.

Using the method of dimension, show that 1 joule = 10⁷ erg.

Answer»

consider, 1 unit of SI unit of work gives n units of CGS units of work. We KNOW that, Dimensional FORMULA for Work is Since IRRESPECTIVE of the unit, Work has same DIMENSIONS, We can WRITE Here, 1 corresponds to SI, and 2 corresponds to CGS. In SI, Units are kg, m, s while CGS has g, cm, s From our earlier discussion, 1 SI unit of work gives n = 10^7 CGS units of work. Hence, 1 Joule = 10^7 erg.

The difference between the true value and measured value is called _______.A. mistake B. errorC. significant figures D. fault

Answer»

: option (B) error explanation : here two confusing words are appeared. i.e.,“ error ” and “mistake” it seems, both are same in meaning. yes of course, these are SYNONYMOUS of each other. but their meaning are slightly different. An ‘error’ is nothing but deviation from accuracy or correctness.i.e., error = true value - MEASURED value it maybe either negative or positive.but A ‘mistake’ is an error CAUSED by fault.so, above DEFINITION cleared your doubts, didn't it ? now you can easily SAY , The difference between the true value and measured value is called error
