The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the dimensions of the constants \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) in the equation \( v = xt + yt^2 + z \), given that \( v \) is in \( \text{m/s} \) and \( t \) is in seconds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the dimensions of velocity \( v \)**: - The velocity \( v \) is given in meters per second (m/s). - Therefore, the dimension of \( v \) can be expressed as: \[ [v] = L T^{-1} \] where \( L \) represents length and \( T \) represents time. 2. **Analyze the equation \( v = xt + yt^2 + z \)**: - According to the principle of homogeneity of dimensions, all terms on the right-hand side must have the same dimensions as the left-hand side. - Thus, each term \( xt \), \( yt^2 \), and \( z \) must also have the dimensions of \( L T^{-1} \). 3. **Determine the dimensions of \( x \)**: - For the term \( xt \): \[ [xt] = [x][t] \] - Since \( [t] = T \), we have: \[ [xt] = [x] T \] - Setting this equal to the dimension of \( v \): \[ [x] T = L T^{-1} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ [x] = L T^{-1} \cdot T^{-1} = L T^{-2} \] 4. **Determine the dimensions of \( y \)**: - For the term \( yt^2 \): \[ [yt^2] = [y][t^2] \] - Since \( [t^2] = T^2 \), we have: \[ [yt^2] = [y] T^2 \] - Setting this equal to the dimension of \( v \): \[ [y] T^2 = L T^{-1} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ [y] = L T^{-1} \cdot T^{-2} = L T^{-3} \] 5. **Determine the dimensions of \( z \)**: - For the term \( z \): \[ [z] = L T^{-1} \] - This is already equal to the dimension of \( v \), so we do not need any further calculations. ### Final Dimensions: - The dimensions of the constants are: - \( [x] = L T^{-2} \) - \( [y] = L T^{-3} \) - \( [z] = L T^{-1} \) ### Summary: - \( [x] = L T^{-2} \) - \( [y] = L T^{-3} \) - \( [z] = L T^{-1} \)
