Answer:

yes

Explanation:

there are other quantities that are dimensionless, but have a unit.

For example, radian is the unit for an angle. But it is dimensionless because it is defined to be the ratio of two lengths.,

a dimensionless quantity will always be independent of the base units — meter, second, kilograms, kelvin, candela, moles, ampere.

Other examples:

1. Mass fraction

2.Mole fraction

both have unit (kg/kg)

Answer:

A quantity that has dimensions must have units. Yes a quantity have units but still be dimensionless for example,unit of angle is radian ,but it is a dimensionless quantity. A dimensionless quantity may have unit. ... A unitless quantity never has a non-zero dimension.

I hope it's helpful!

A 27.0-g object moving to the right at 21.5 cm/s overtakes and collides elastically with a 11.0-g object moving in the same dire

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

final speed of the first object: 17.73 cm/s

final speed of the second object: 24.23 cm/s

Explanation:

Data:

mass of the first object, m1 = 27.0 g

mass of the second object, m2 = 11.0 g

initial speed of the first object, v1i = 21.5 cm/s

initial speed of the second object, v2i = 15 cm/s

final speed of the first object, v1f = ? cm/s

final speed of the second object, v2f = ? cm/s

Elastic collisions formula:

v1f = (m1 - m2)/(m1 + m2) * v1i + 2*m2/(m1 + m2) * v2i

v1f = (27 - 11)/(27 + 11) * 21.5 + 2*11/(27 + 11) * 15

v1f = 17.73 cm/s

v2f = 2*m1/(m1 + m2) * v1i + (m2 - m1)/(m1 + m2)*v2i

v2f = 2*27/(27 + 11) * 21.5 + (11 - 27)/(27 + 11)*15

v2f = 24.23 cm/s

Archimedes' principle can be used to calculate the density of a fluid as well as that of a solid. suppose a chunk of iron with a

ella [17]

<span>(a) 39.5 g (b) 49.53 cm^3 (c) 0.7975 g/cm^3, liquid is an alcohol (a) This will be the difference between the weight of the iron in air and the weight submerged in fluid. So: 390.0 g - 350.5 g = 39.5 g (b) The density of iron is 7.874 g/cm^3, so the volume of the iron chunk is 390.0 g / 7.874 g/cm^3 = 49.53 cm^3 (c) The density of the fluid will be the mass of the fluid divided by the volume, so: 39.5 g / 49.53 cm^3 = 0.7975 g/cm^3 Since the density is very dependent upon the temperature and since the temperature wasn't specified, the actual substance can't be completely identified. Although some candidates are: 1. Mixture of Alcohol and water. Density ranges from 0.785 g/cm^3 to 1.000 g/cm^3. 2. Crude oil. Density 0.790 g/cm^3 3. Hydrazine. Density 0.795 g/cm^3 4. Methanol. Density 0.791 g/cm^3 5. Ocimene. Density 0.798 g/cm^3 The most likely candidate is a high concentration of an alcohol of some sort.</span>
