Explanation:
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Angular momentum is given asL = I ------------ (1)
SI unit for I is kgm2. Hence, dimensional formula of I becomes ML2. Angular velocity is given as
= v/ r
SI unit of v is m/s and that of r is m. Hence, SI unit of angular velocity becomes
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
(m/s)/m Or 1/sTherefore, dimensional formula of angular velocity is T-1 . Thus, dimensional formula of angular
momentum from equation 1 becomes
ML2 / T Or ML2T-1

Average speed of the train is 8.33 m/s
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Instantaneous acceleration of the train is 8.33 m/s2A. Which of the following statement(s) is/are true?
B. 1
C. 2
D. 3
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
E. Both 1 and 3F. Both 2 and 3
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Instantaneous speed of a body is the speed possessed by it at any particular time instant.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Instantaneous speed is a variable and changes accordingly. Speedometer is a device that is used bythe vehicles to know the speed possessed by it at that instant. Average velocity or speed provides
speed of the body for the full journey. It is given as the total distance travelled in total time taken. As in
the question the total time and the total distance are given, hence average speed can be found as
Average speed = Total Distance / Total Time ------------- (1)
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Since, distance and time are given in kilometers and minutes we need to convert them Putting the
values in equation 1 we get
Average speed = 8.33 m/s
Instantaneous acceleration is related to instantaneous speed. Hence, instantaneous acceleration
