How Do You Solve These Basic A/L Physics Problems?

In summary, the conversation discusses creating equations for velocity and solving problems related to velocity and displacement using dimensional analysis and equations of motion. The use of SUVAT equations is mentioned as a helpful resource. The conversation also emphasizes the importance of understanding the principles and dimensions involved in solving physics problems.

01.Velocity V of a stretched string depends on Tension T and mass per unit length M of the string. Create an equation for Velocity VUsing dimensional analysis.

02. A balloon is moving upward with velocity 36km/h, when it is 40m height from ground a particle dropped from it. (g=10m/s and there is no air friction) find,
a.Maximum height reached by the particle from ground
b.Time taken to the particle to reached the ground,
c.Velocity of the particle just before reach the ground.

03.A particle dropped from vertically downward from the top of the building, find the displacement of the nth second, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4thseconds.

04. P + ½ ρ v2 = constant, where P- pressure, ρ- Density, v- velocity. Show that the equation is dimensionally correct.
(Its v x v not v2)

@Nufi you need to use the homework template for your question: give the equations that you think are applicable, and show your own attempt at a solution.

Great. The way PhysicsForums works is to provide guidance in figuring out a problem (especially with schoolwork type problems). You won't find an answer or solution just handed out.
