The velocity v of a particle at time t is given by the equation v =...
The velocity of a particle at time is given by the equation . Match the constants in List-I with their dimensional formulas in List-II.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| (A) Constant A | (I) |
| (B) Constant B | (II) |
| (C) Constant C | (III) |
| (D) Constant D | (IV) |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
- B(A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
- C(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
- D(A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(II)
Correct answer
B. (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
Step-by-step solution
According to the principle of homogeneity of dimensions, only quantities with the same dimensions can be added or subtracted.
In the denominator , the constant is added to time . Therefore, .
Each term in the equation must have the same dimensions as velocity , which is .
For the term : .
For the term : .
For the term : .
Thus, the correct matching is (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III).
Answer: (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
