The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the equation given for the distance of a body in uniformly accelerated motion: \[ x = at + bt^2 + c \] where \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are constants. ### Step 1: Identify the dimensions of each term in the equation. 1. **Dimension of \( x \)**: - \( x \) represents distance, so its dimension is \([L]\) (length). 2. **Dimension of \( at \)**: - \( a \) is a constant multiplied by time \( t \). - The dimension of time \( t \) is \([T]\). - Thus, the dimension of \( at \) is \([L] = [a][T]\). - Therefore, the dimension of \( a \) must be \([L][T^{-1}]\). 3. **Dimension of \( bt^2 \)**: - \( b \) is a constant multiplied by \( t^2 \). - The dimension of \( t^2 \) is \([T^2]\). - Thus, the dimension of \( bt^2 \) is \([L] = [b][T^2]\). - Therefore, the dimension of \( b \) must be \([L][T^{-2}]\). 4. **Dimension of \( c \)**: - Since \( c \) is added to \( at \) and \( bt^2 \), it must have the same dimension as these terms. - Therefore, the dimension of \( c \) is also \([L]\). ### Step 2: Compare the dimensions of \( c \) with the options provided. Now we will compare the dimension of \( c \) with the dimensions of the options given: - **Option A: Dimension of \( x \)**: - Dimension of \( x \) is \([L]\). - **Option B: Dimension of \( at \)**: - Dimension of \( at \) is \([L]\). - **Option C: Dimension of \( bt^2 \)**: - Dimension of \( bt^2 \) is \([L]\). - **Option D: Dimension of \( \frac{a^2}{b} \)**: - We know: - Dimension of \( a \) is \([L][T^{-1}]\). - Dimension of \( b \) is \([L][T^{-2}]\). - Therefore, dimension of \( a^2 \) is \([L^2][T^{-2}]\). - Now, dimension of \( \frac{a^2}{b} \) is: \[ \frac{[L^2][T^{-2}]}{[L][T^{-2}]} = [L][T^{0}] = [L] \] ### Conclusion: Since the dimension of \( c \) is \([L]\), it matches with the dimensions of \( x \), \( at \), \( bt^2 \), and \( \frac{a^2}{b} \). Thus, all options A, B, C, and D are correct. ### Final Answer: All options (A, B, C, and D) have the same dimensions as \( c \). ---
