Answer:
c. No. An equation may have consistent units but still be numerically invaid.
Explanation:
For an equation to be corrected, it should have consistent units and also be numerically correct.
Most equation are of the form;
(Actual quantity) = (dimensionless constant) × (dimensionally correct quantity)
From the above, without the dimensionless constant the equation would be numerically wrong.
For example; Kinetic energy equation.
KE = 0.5(mv^2)
Without the dimensionless constant '0.5' the equation would be dimensionally correct but numerically wrong.
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for time period of a pendulum is given as follows :
T = 2π
l is length of pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity .
So time period of pendulum is not dependent on the mass of the pendulum . If time period is same and length is also the same then acceleration due to gravity will also be the same . Hence the acceleration due to gravity at distant planet will be same as that on the earth.
Answer: D
<u></u>
X: positive
Y: negative
Explanation:
It's either A or D and I chose A and got it wrong.
The answer should be B - lasts longer.
Speed of light
According to Einstein, the speed of light is constant in all points of reference. In addition, he pointed out the speed of light is the maximum speed known since in practice one can never catch up with the beam of light. This is explained by his theory of relativity.
