Answer: hope it helps you...❤❤❤❤

Explanation: If your values have dimensions like time, length, temperature, etc, then if the dimensions are not the same then the values are not the same. So a “dimensionally wrong equation” is always false and cannot represent a correct physical relation.

No, not necessarily.

For instance, Newton’s 2nd law is F=p˙ , or the sum of the applied forces on a body is equal to its time rate of change of its momentum. This is dimensionally correct, and a correct physical relation. It’s fine.

But take a look at this (incorrect) equation for the force of gravity:

F=−G(m+M)Mm√|r|3r

It has all the nice properties you’d expect: It’s dimensionally correct (assuming the standard traditional value for G ), it’s attractive, it’s symmetric in the masses, it’s inverse-square, etc. But it doesn’t correspond to a real, physical force.

It’s a counter-example to the claim that a dimensionally correct equation is necessarily a correct physical relation.

A simpler counter example is 1=2 . It is stating the equality of two dimensionless numbers. It is trivially dimensionally correct. But it is false.

Explanation:

The Yerkes Primate center was established in 1930 by Robert Yerkes, in Orange Park, Florida. But was moved to its present location in Emory University.

The center has its focus on two major area of research, which are Immunology and Vaccine, and research towards increasing the understanding of progressive illnesses, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.

A ball traveling at 15 m/s hits a bat with a force of 200N. How much force does the bat (moving at 20m/s)

just olya [345]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

Given that,

A ball traveling at 15 m/s hits a bat with a force of 200 N.

We need to find the force that the bat moving at 20 m/s hit the ball with.

We know that, this probelm is based on Newton's third law of motion. The force that the ball exerting on bat should be equal to the force that the bat exerting in the ball but in opposite direction.

It would mean that the ball hits the ball with a force of 200 N. Hence, the correct option is (a).

The size of a balloon increases when the pressure inside it increases. The balloon gets bigger when it is left in the heat from

Masteriza [31]

Explanation:

This happens because the gas inside tend to expand because its temperature gets higher.

This is why the balloon that is put in a freezer for too long tend to gets smaller, because the gas temperature that is inside the balloon decreases.

(you can try it at home)

It is related to the temperature of the gas.

Which statement about gravity is true?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Out of the given options, ‘it is described as a fundamental force and therefore does not depend on other forces’ is the true statement about gravity.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

As we all know that there are four fundamental forces existing in the universe- Electromagnetic force, strong forces, weak forces and the gravitational force.

These are the forces that don’t depend on any other physical force to draw a considerable impact on the physical objects. The gravitational force can be defined as,

$F=G \times \frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}}$

Where,

G = Gravitational Constant

$m_{1} , m_{2}$ = Masses of two substances under consideration

R = distance between the two substances.

Looking upon the formula of gravitational force we can easily estimate that the gravitational force relies on the mass of substances and the relative distance between them. There is no factor than the air friction that hinders the gravitational force and that too in a negligible amount.
