Define the term dimension​

Physics
1 answer:
Vladimir79 [104]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Q1. A measurable extent of a particular kind, such as length, breadth, depth, or height.

Q2. A dimensional constant is a physical quantity that has dimensions and has a fixed value. Some of the examples of the dimensional constant are Planck's constant, gravitational constant, and so on.

Q3. Physical quantities which posses dimensions and have variable are called dimensional variables. Examples are length, velocity, and acceleration etc.

Q4. Dimensionless variables are the quantities which doesn't have any dimensions the the value is a variable. Eg: angle = arc/ radius. Dimensions = L/L. = 1. So angle does not have any dimensions and the value can vary.

Q5. Principle of Homogeneity states that dimensions of each of the terms of a dimensional equation on both sides should be the same. This principle is helpful because it helps us convert the units from one form to another.

Q6. Dimensional analysis has been around a long time, Newton called it the "Great principle of Similitude", but the modern form can be traced back to James Clerk Maxwell. It was Maxwell who distinguished mass [A/], length [£], and time [7"] as the independent dimensions from which others could be derived.

Q7. Mass, length, time, temperature, electric current, amount of light, and amount of matter.

Q8. Dimensional analysis is used to convert the value of a physical quantity from one system of units to another system of units. Dimensional analysis is used to represent the nature of physical quantity. The expressions of dimensions can be manipulated as algebraic quantities.

Hope that helps. x

Ball A (mass of 0.5 kg) going +2.0 m/s collides with a stationary ball B (mass of 0.4 kg).
ki77a [65]

The correct answer is 1.2 m/s

: mv+mv=mv+mv

(0.5kg)(2m/s)+(0.4kg)(0m/s)=(0.5kg)v+(0.4kg)(1m/s)

= 1kg*m/s=(0.5kg)v+0.4kg*m/s

=1kg*m/s-0.4kg*m/s=(0.5kg)v

=0.6kg*m/s=(0.5kg)v

to solve for v we divide both side by 0.5kg

v=1.2m/s

Why did thomson’s results from experimenting with cathode rays cause a big change in scientific thought about atoms?
natima [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Before Thomson's discovery, atoms were believed according to the "Dalton's atomic theory" to be the smallest indivisible particle of any matter. This makes atoms the smallest unit of a matter.

Thomson in 1897, used the discharge tube to discover cathode rays which are today called electrons.

The discovery of electrons provided more light into the structure and nature of atoms. Atoms were now being seen in a different light as particles that are made up of other smaller sized particles.

Thomson through his experiment was able determine perfectly well the nature of the rays he saw emanating from the cathode. One of his findings shows that the rays are negatively charged and are repelled by negative charges.

The discovery of electrons further led to more works on the atom and other particles were discovered. Atoms were no longer seen as indivisible or the smallest particles of matter.

Answer:

SKID

Explanation:

In general, airplane tracks are flat, they do not have cant, consequently the friction force is what keeps the bicycle in the circle.

Let's use Newton's second law, let's set a reference frame with the horizontal x-axis and the vertical y-axis.

Y axis y

     N- W = 0

     N = W

X axis (radial)

        fr = m a

the acceleration in the curve is centripetal

         a = \frac{v^2}{r}

the friction force has the expression

        fr = μ N

we substitute

       μ mg = m v²/r

       v = \sqrt{\mu g r}

we calculate

      v = \sqrt{0.1 \ 9.8 \ 3}

      v = 1,715 m / s

to compare with the cyclist's speed let's reduce to the SI system

        v₀ = 18 km / h (1000 m / 1 km) (1 h / 3600 s) = 5 m / s

We can see that the speed that the cyclist is carrying is greater than the speed that the curve can take, therefore the cyclist will SKID
