Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is the correct dimensional formula for energy? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that energy is related to work done.
  • Step 2: Know that work is defined as force times distance.
  • Step 3: Recall the formula for force, which is mass times acceleration (F = m * a).
  • Step 4: Recognize that acceleration can be expressed as distance over time squared (a = L/T^2).
  • Step 5: Substitute the expression for acceleration into the force formula: F = m * (L/T^2).
  • Step 6: This gives us the formula for force: F = M * (L/T^2) = M * L * T^-2.
  • Step 7: Now, substitute this force formula back into the work formula: Work = Force * Distance = (M * L * T^-2) * L.
  • Step 8: Simplify the work formula: Work = M * L^2 * T^-2.
  • Step 9: Since energy is equal to work, the dimensional formula for energy is the same: [M^1 L^2 T^-2].
