Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around basic physics problems related to dimensional analysis, kinematics, and the equations of motion. Participants are exploring how to derive equations and analyze motion under various conditions, including tension in strings and the motion of particles under gravity.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the application of dimensional analysis to derive equations for velocity and pressure. Questions are raised about the understanding of dimensions for tension, pressure, velocity, and density. There is also mention of using SUVAT equations for kinematic problems.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided guidance on the need to show attempts at solutions and use the homework template. There is acknowledgment of the forum's approach to guiding problem-solving rather than providing direct answers. However, some participants claim to have found solutions independently.

Contextual Notes

One participant notes the importance of using the homework template and providing applicable equations, indicating a structured approach to the discussion. There is also a reminder about the forum's policy against handing out solutions directly.

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.
