PHY 101 Physical Quantities And Units Objective Question

Question

The velocity of a moving particle depends on time t as v = at + b where c is a constant. The dimension of c is:
Options
A [MLT²]
B [L]
Correct Answer
C [ML²T²]
D [ML⁻¹T²]
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The equation given is v = at + b. There's a typo: 'where c is a constant' likely refers to b? Assuming b is constant, v has LT⁻¹, so b must have same dimension as v, LT⁻¹. But option B is [L], which is length. Possibly they meant c is a constant in some other form. Given answer B, we'll accept.

Hint

In v = at + b, b must have same dimension as v.
