Physics And Measurement Question 191

Question: In a direct impact, loss in kinetic energy is given by ΔK=M1M22(M1+M2).(V1V2)2(1k2) with usual notations (except k). The quantity k will have dimensional formula

Options:

A) [ M0L2T2 ]

B) [ MLT1 ]

C) [ M0L0T0 ]

D) [ M0LT1 ]

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] It is clear that k should be dimensionaless

[1k2]=M0L0T0

Hence, [k]= M0L0T0

Actually k is the coefficient of restitution,
