Learning Goal: To introduce the idea of physical dimensions and to learn how to find them.Physical quantities are generally not

purely numerical: They have a particular dimension or combination of dimensions associated with them. Thus, your height is not 74, but rather 74 inches, often expressed as 6 feet 2 inches. Although feet and inches are different units they have the same dimension--length. Find the dimensions [V] of volume. Find the dimensions [v] of speed.Express your answer as powers of length ( l), mass ( m), and time ( t)

Answer:

volume : {l}^3

speed: (l)^1*(t)^-1

Explanation:

Volume is a measure of 3 dimensional space. It is expressed with 3 orthogonal lengths. The volume of a box would be the product of it's height, width and length. These 3 are longitudes that can be expressed in meters, feet, inches, etc. Because these are 3 longitudes multiplied the result will be a cubic longitude (l)^3.

A more general method for finding a volume is to use integral calculus:

V = \int\int\int{x} * {y} * {z} * dx * dy * dz

This is for Cartesian coordinates. Cylindrical and spherical coordinates can also be used.

Speed is defined as the rate of change in position respect of time:

vx = \frac{\delta x}{\delta t}

For movement in one dimension.

For movement in 3 dimensions you calculate the speed component of each space direction and express them as components of a speed vector:

\v{v} = \frac{\delta x}{\delta t}  \hat{i} + \frac{\delta y}{\delta t}  \hat{j} + \frac{\delta z}{\delta t}  \hat{k}

This is a vector of velocity components, each one is expressed as a division of a longitude over a time, so speed components have dimensions of (l)^1*(t)^-1

The speed vector has a magnitude that is obtained with the Pitagoras theorem:

v = \sqrt{vx^{2} + vy^{2} + vz^{2}}

Since each component is squared, added together and then the square root is taken this magnitude is also in (l)^1*(t)^-1

A car is driving along a road at a speed of 50 km/hr. How far will the car travel in 5 hours?​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

I think it's 250

Explanation:

If the car is traveling 50 km/hr that means every hour, the car drives 50 km. So if you want to know how far it will go in 5 hours you do 50x5.

What are the forces that act on the ball?​
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

This slide shows the three forces that act on a baseball in flight. The forces are the weight, drag, and lift. Lift and drag are actually two components of a single aerodynamic force acting on the ball. Drag acts in a direction opposite to the motion, and lift acts perpendicular to the motion

Two astronauts are playing catch in a zero gravitational field. Astronaut 1 of mass m1 is initially moving to the right with spe
Ede4ka [16]

The final velocity (v_1_f) of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut (v_2_f) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts <em>after throwing the ball</em>.

The given parameters;

  • Mass of the first astronaut, = m₁
  • Mass of the second astronaut, = m₂
  • Initial velocity of the first astronaut, = v₁
  • Initial velocity of the second astronaut, = v₂ > v₁
  • Mass of the ball, = m
  • Speed of the ball, = u
  • Final velocity of the first astronaut, = v_f_1
  • Final velocity of the second astronaut, = v_f_2

The final velocity of the first astronaut relative to the second astronaut after throwing the ball is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = m_2v_2_f + m_1v_1_f

if v₂ > v₁, then v_1_f > v_2_f, to conserve the linear momentum.

Thus, the final velocity (v_1_f) of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut (v_2_f) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts after throwing the ball.
