Hello everyone. This is a question about Dimensional Analysis and I came across this question but I am unable to wrap my head ar

ound it. Its a new topic for me and am a bit confused how it works. The question seems simple but cant seem to get to the correct answer. The question:
An equation has three variables A,B and C.
A = B^2 + 2B^4/C . If the dimension of A is [L]^2/[T]^2, what must be the dimensions of B and C?

Options:
1. [B] = [L]^2/[T]^2 and [C] = [L]/[T]
2. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = [L]/[T]
3. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = (1/2)[T]/[L]
4. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = [T]/[L]
5. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = (1/2)[L]/[T]

Would be really helpful if someone could explain it. Thank you

Answer:

2. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = [L]/[T]

Explanation:

I assume you mean this:

A = B² + 2B⁴/C²

Since you can't add numbers with different units (for example, you can't add seconds to meters), each term in the sum must have the same units as A.

B² = [L]²/[T]²

B = [L]/[T]

B⁴/C² = [L]²/[T]²

C²/B⁴ = [T]²/[L]²

C² = B⁴ [T]²/[L]²

C² = ([L]/[T])⁴ [T]²/[L]²

C² = [L]²/[T]²

C = [L]/[T]

Notice we ignore the 2 coefficient, which is unitless.

Explain why the top of the loop cannot be the same height as (or higher than) the top of the first hill. Assume the roller coast
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

By conservation of energy, it can climb up to a height equal to that it went down before. However, due to the friction in the machines, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster will decrease. As a result, the first "hill" of many roller coasters are the highest, but the followings will have decreasing heights.

A sound wave traveling at 340 m/s is generated by a 480 Hz tuning fork.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Wavelength = 0.7083 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed of wave = 340 m/s

Frequency = 480 Hz

To find how long is the sound wave, we would determine its wavelength;

Mathematically, the wavelength of a waveform is given by the formula;

Wavelength = velocity/frequency

Wavelength = 340/480

Wavelength = 0.7083 meters

A 1200-kilogram automobile in motion strikes a 0.0001-kilogram insect. As a result, the insect is accelerated at a rate of 100 m
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

force = 1 × 10^{-2} N

Explanation:

given data

automobile mass = 1200 kg

insect mass = 0.0001 kg

insect accelerated = 100 m/s²

to find out

magnitude of the force the insect exerts on the car

solution

we get here force the insect exerts that is express as

force = mass × acceleration    ............1

put here value we get

force = 0.0001 × 100 m/s²

force = 1 × 10^{-2} N

What is the value of acceleration due to gravity at heght h=4re​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: Formula for Acceleration Due to Gravity

These two laws lead to the most useful form of the formula for calculating acceleration due to gravity: g = G*M/R^2, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, G is the universal gravitational constant, M is mass, and R is distance.please mark as brainliest
