The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensions of \( v_0 \) and \( \text{prop} \) in the equation \( x(t) = \frac{v_0}{\text{prop}} (1 - e^{-ut}) \), we will analyze the components step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the equation The position \( x(t) \) is given as a function of time \( t \). The term \( (1 - e^{-ut}) \) is dimensionless because the exponential function must be dimensionless. Therefore, the argument of the exponential, \( -ut \), must also be dimensionless. ### Step 2: Analyzing the term \( ut \) Since \( ut \) is dimensionless, we can write: \[ [u][t] = 1 \] Where: - \( [u] \) is the dimension of \( u \) - \( [t] \) is the dimension of time, which is \( T \) Thus, we can express the dimension of \( u \) as: \[ [u] = \frac{1}{[t]} = T^{-1} \] ### Step 3: Analyzing the term \( x(t) \) The position \( x(t) \) has dimensions of length, which we denote as: \[ [x] = L \] ### Step 4: Relating \( v_0 \) and \( \text{prop} \) From the equation \( x(t) = \frac{v_0}{\text{prop}} (1 - e^{-ut}) \), we can isolate \( \frac{v_0}{\text{prop}} \): \[ [x] = \frac{[v_0]}{[\text{prop}]} \cdot 1 \] This implies: \[ [x] = \frac{[v_0]}{[\text{prop}]} \] ### Step 5: Finding the dimensions of \( v_0 \) Assuming \( v_0 \) is a velocity, we have: \[ [v_0] = L T^{-1} \] ### Step 6: Finding the dimensions of \( \text{prop} \) Substituting the dimensions into the equation: \[ L = \frac{L T^{-1}}{[\text{prop}]} \] Rearranging gives: \[ [\text{prop}] = \frac{L T^{-1}}{L} = T^{-1} \] ### Conclusion Thus, we have: - The dimension of \( v_0 \) is \( L T^{-1} \) (velocity). - The dimension of \( \text{prop} \) is \( T^{-1} \). ### Final Answer: - Dimensions of \( v_0 \): \( L T^{-1} \) - Dimensions of \( \text{prop} \): \( T^{-1} \)
