Answer:

Explanation: the explanation goes as follow;

  • If an equation is dimensionally correct, does this mean that the equation must be true?

answer: A dimensionally correct equation deosn't make the equation true. It is always possible to construct an arbitrary meaningless equation that satisfies the dimensional analysis. we can observe this in different physical quantities that have the same dimensional formula, by inserting a wrong physical parameter into an equation, it may turn out as dimensionally correct, but it wont have any physical meaning.

  • If an equation is not dimensionally correct, does this mean that the equation cannot be true?

answer:  A dimensionally incorrect equation necessarily implies that the equation is wrong.

  • How is dimension analysis used as a check on the plausibiity of derived equations and computations?

answer: dimensional analysis is a very strong tool that is used to check the trustworthiness of  a derived equation. It helps to compare the dimensions of the output variable from an equation against the true dimensions of the output variable. If both of them are not same, the equation/computation/derivation is incorrect.

  • How does this knowledge help you to understand and characterize particular phenomenon?

answer:  the knowledge of dimensional analysis helps in understanding which variables are necessary for defining a process.

In which of these scenarios would the sound of a drumstick hitting a metal bar get to you in the least amount of time?explain ur
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Scenario 1 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The sound of the drumstick hitting the metal bar will get to me in a shorter amount of time in Scenario 1 . The sound wave will travel faster in the metal bar than through the air because the speed of sound waves in solid is faster than it is in gases.

Which measurement is equivalent to 350 milliliters?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
350 milliliters equals to .35 liters
Therefore, 3.5 times 10^-1 would be the only correct answer since that is the only one that matches .35 liters

A boy flies a kite with the string at a 30 degree angle to the horizontal. The tension in the string is 4.5N .
sp2606 [1]
How much work in J does the string do on the boy if the boy stands still? 

<span>answer: None. The equation for work is W = force x distance. Since the boy isn't moving, the distance is zero. Anything times zero is zero </span>
<span>--------------------------------------... </span>
<span>How much work does the string do on the boy if the boy walks a horizontal distance of 11m away from the kite? </span>

<span>answer: might be a trick question since his direction away from the kite and his velocity weren't noted. Perhaps he just set the string down and walked away 11m from the kite. If he did this, it is the same as the first one...no work was done by the sting on the boy. </span>

<span>If he did walk backwards with no velocity indicated, and held the string and it stayed at 30 deg the answer would be: </span>
<span>4.5N + (boys negative acceleration * mass) = total force1 </span>
<span>work = total force1 x 11 meters </span>
<span>--------------------------------------... </span>

<span>How much work does the string do on the boy if the boy walks a horizontal distance of 11m toward the kite? </span>

<span>answer: same as above only reversed: </span>
<span>4.5N - (boys negative acceleration * mass) = total force2 </span>
<span>work = total force2 x 11 meters</span>

A motorcycle of mass 100 kilograms slowly rolls off the edge of a cliff and falls for three seconds before reaching the bottom o
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C) 3,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

We can consider the horizontal velocity of the motorcycle to be zero, since it rolls off the edge of the cliff very slowly. So, we only need to find the vertical velocity at the time of the impact with the ground.

The vertical velocity of the motorcycle at time t is given by (free-fall motion):

v(t)=v_0 -gt

where

v_0=0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero, since the motorcycle is not moving)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time

Since the motorcycle hits the ground after t = 3 seconds, we have

v(3 s)=0-(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)=-29.4 m/s

And since we know its mass, m=100 kg, we can find its momentum:

p=mv=(100 kg)(-29.4 m/s)=-2940 kg m/s \cdot -3000 kg m/s

and the negative sign simply means downward direction.

(b) A car of mass 3000 kg travels at a constant velocity of 5.0 m/s.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

16.7 s

Explanation:

T= <u>Vf - Vo</u>          a= <u>F</u>

         a                    m

4,500 / 3000 = 1.5 (a)

30 - 5 / 1.5(a) = 16.7 s
