1,446.

At what respective value of a, b, and c would the unit of work, the joule, be dimensionally similar to Ma Lb Tc?

A.

1, – 2, 1

B.

1, 2, – 2

C.

1, 1, –2

D.

2, 2, 1

Correct answer is B

Work (w) = Force (f) × Distance (d)

Note: f = ma = mass × acceleration

= mass ×acceleration ×distance

= kg ×ms–2 × m

= kg m2 5–2

(Note: the dimension of kg = M, M = L & S = T)

Work = ML2 T–2 = Ma Lb Tc

i.e. Ma Lb Tc = as 1, b = 2, c = –2

The value of a, band c = 1, 2, –2

C.

Reflection only

D.

Refraction only

Correct answer is A

The vibrating particles behave like a spiral spring with a series of compression region and space–out region.

Radio waves belong to the class of wave whose velocity is about

A.

34m/s

B.

3 ×106m/s

C.

3 ×108m/s

D.

3 × 10-8m/s

Correct answer is C

A radio waves is an electromagnetic waves which travels with a constant velocity of 3 × 108m/s

A member of the crew of a SPACESHIP experiences weightlessness in a space when they

A.

Fall freely from the earth’s gravitational field

B.

Is walking on the planet

C.

In between the sun and the earth

D.

Holding anything in space is negative

Correct answer is A

Convert 45°C to kelvin

A.

318K

B.

250K

C.

184K

D.

120K

Correct answer is A

Note: T = 273 + θ

θ = 45°

T = 273 + 45

= 318K
