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.

What property do the following elements have in common? Li, C, and F A) They are poor conductors of electricity. B) Each element
Aloiza [94]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given elements Li, C and F are all second period elements. So, when we move from left to right across a period then there occurs increase in number of valence electrons as there occurs increase in total number of electrons.

So, it means more electrons are added to the same energy level.

Thus, we can conclude that a property of valence electrons for each element is located in the same energy level is common in the given elements.

A common technique in analysis of scientific data is normalization. The purpose of normalizing data is to eliminate irrelevant c
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.4432

Explanation:

The normalize procedure is widely used in science, in this case we are going to normalize to the voltage value that exists 4 cm away

           Vₙ= V_{measured} / V₀

where the voltage at the desired distance is V₀ = 185 mV = 0.185 V

           

the normalized voltage are

forr x = 4 cm

            V₁ = 185/185

            V₁ = 1

for x = 6.2 cm

             V₂ = 82/185

             V₂ = 0.4432

An ice-skater is moving at a constant velocity across an icy pond, The skater throws a snowball directly ahead.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

(D) It is equal to the original velocity of the skater.

Explanation:

The velocity of the center of mass of a system is

\vec{v}_{cm} = \frac{m1\vec{v}_1 + m_2\vec{v}_2}{m_1 + m_2}

The velocity of the center of mass is constant if there is no external force, because the total momentum of the whole system is conserved.

So, before the snowball is thrown, the velocity of the center of mass is equal to that of the skater. This velocity will always be equal to the velocity of the center of mass of the system.

What is the length of the blues progression in this excerpt?
Gre4nikov [31]
<span>In blues musicians also often refer to chord progressions using Roman numerals, as this facilitates transposing a song to a new key. For example, rock and blues musicians often think of the 12 bar blues as consisting of I, IV and V chords. Thus a simple version of the 12 bar blues might be expressed as I/I/I/I IV/IV/I/I V/IV/I/I. By thinking of this blues progression in Roman numerals, a backup band or rhythm section could be instructed by a band leader to do the chord progression in any key. For example if the band leader asked the band to play this chord progression in the key of C Major, the chords would be C/C/C/C F/F/C/C G/F/C/C.</span>
