answers
1. To determine the dimensions of
acceleration using the principle of
homogeneity, we can consider the equation
for acceleration:
a = Δv / Δt
Using the principle of homogeneity, we can
analyze the dimensions of each term in the
equation:
Δv - Change in velocity, which has Therefore, the dimensions of the formula for
dimensions of [L T^-1] the work done by a force are consistent.
Δt - Change in time, which has dimensions
of [T] 5. The formula for the speed of a wave is v =
λf, where v is the speed, λ is the wavelength,
Therefore, the dimensions of acceleration (a) and f is the frequency.
are:
Using the principle of homogeneity, let's
[L T^-1] analyze the dimensions of each term in the

is T = 2π√(L/g), where T is the period, L is v - Speed, which has dimensions of [L T^-1]
the length of the pendulum, and g is the λ - Wavelength, which has dimensions of [L]
acceleration due to gravity. f - Frequency, which has dimensions of [T^-
1]
Using the principle of homogeneity, let's
analyze the dimensions of each term in the Therefore, the dimensions of the formula for
equation: the speed of a wave are consistent.
T - Period, which has dimensions of [T]
L - Length, which has dimensions of [L]
g - Acceleration due to gravity, which has
dimensions of [L T^-2]
Since the square root of a quantity does not
affect its dimensions, the dimensions of
2π√(L/g) should also be [T].
Therefore, the dimensions of the formula for
the period of a pendulum are consistent.
