tensa zangetsu [6.8K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A dimension is a measure of a physical variable.

Unit is a way to assign a number or measurement to that dimension.

In dimensional analysis, a dimensionless quantity is a quantity to which no physical dimension is assigned, also known as a bare, pure, or scalar quantity or a quantity of dimension one, with a corresponding unit of measurement is the SI of the unit one, which is not explicity shown.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

If it is totally absorbed pressure is calculated as follows .

Pressure = I / c where I is intensity of light falling .

= 1000 / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ N / m²

b ) weight of tritium atom

=  3 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

acceleration = force / mass

=    3.33x 10⁻⁶ / 3 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷

= .6646 x 10²¹ m /s²

= 66.46 x 10¹⁹ m / s²

A solid, horizontal cylinder of mass 18.0 kg and radius 1.70.0 m rotates with an angular speed of 40 rad/s about a fixed vertica
Radda [10]

Answer:39.88 rad/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of cylinder m_1=18 kg

radius R=1.7 m

angular speed \omega =40rad/s

mass of m_2=0.8 kg dropped at r=0.3 m from center

let \omega _2 be the final angular velocity of cylinder

Conserving Angular momentum

L_1=L_2

\left ( \frac{m_1R^2}{2}\right )\omega =\left ( \frac{m_1R^2}{2}+m_2r^2\right )\omega _2

\left ( \frac{18\cdot 1.7^2}{2}\right )\cdot 40=\left ( \frac{18\cdot 1.7^2}{2}+0.8\cdot 0.3^2\right )\omega _2

26.01\times 40=26.082\times \omega _2

\omega _2=39.88 rad/s

Distinguish between contact force and non-contact forces give three examples of each
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

1. the force which can be felt or act only when two objects are in contact is known as contact force.

for example: frictional force, muscular force,

tension, air resistance .

2. the force which can be felt or act even when two objects are in contact or not is known as non-contact force.

for example: magnetic force, gravitational force, electrostatic force.
