Which limitation of dimensional analysis prevents it from deriving the complete formula for the viscous force on a sphere moving through a fluid, given that the force (F) depends on the radius (r) of the sphere, its velocity (v), and the fluid's viscosity ()?
It cannot determine the numerical constant in Stokes' Law.
It fails to account for the turbulent flow regime.
It cannot handle the non-linear dependence on velocity at high Reynolds numbers.
It requires the density of the fluid, which is not provided.
A student uses dimensional analysis to analyze the time () it takes for a capacitor (C) to discharge through a resistor (R). They correctly identify that depends on R and C. However, they are unable to derive the precise relationship . What limitation of dimensional analysis explains this?
Dimensional analysis cannot reveal purely numerical relationships between variables.
The analysis requires knowledge of the initial charge on the capacitor, which is not provided.
Dimensional analysis cannot handle exponential decay processes.
The relationship between , R, and C is logarithmic, not a power law.
The density of a substance is measured as kg/m using instruments with precisions of 2% and 5% for mass and volume respectively. What is the correct representation of the density including error?
(120 ± 9) kg/m³
(123.4 ± 8.6) kg/m³
(123 ± 7) kg/m³
(1.234 ± 0.086) x 10² kg/m³
A student measures the length of a rod as 25.00 cm using a vernier caliper with a least count of 0.01 cm. The student then uses a meter scale with a least count of 0.1 cm to measure the same rod. Which statement is true regarding the significant figures in these measurements?
Both measurements have the same number of significant figures.
The meter scale measurement has more significant figures.
The vernier caliper measurement has fewer significant figures.
The vernier caliper measurement has more significant figures and thus higher precision.
Two students, A and B, measure the length of a table. Student A reports the length as m, and student B reports it as m. Which student's measurement is more precise, and what is the relative uncertainty in the more precise measurement?
