Question 4:

We start with 0.0004 J.

Step 1: Convert to millijoules (mJ)
1 mJ=10−3 J
So:

0.0004 J=0.0004×103 mJ=0.4 mJ

Step 2: Convert to microjoules (µJ)
1 μJ=10−6 J
So:

0.0004 J=0.0004×106 μJ=400 μJ

Question 7:

We need to consider significant figures in the calculation.

The distance 2.5 mhas 2 significant figures.
The time 3.45 s has 3 significant figures.
The result should be limited by the least number of significant figures in the input data, which is 2 (from 2.5 m).

2.5/3.45≈0.724637...

Rounded to 2 significant figures: 0.72 m/s.

That matches C.

Question 10:

To determine which equation relating the speed of waves vv in shallow water depends on the depth dd and the gravitational field strength gg is dimensionally consistent, we can analyze the dimensions of each equation.

Dimensions

Analyzing Each Equation

A.
Dimensions:

d √g ​= [L] √([L][T]−2)

d √g ​= [L] [L]½[T]−1

d √g ​= [L]3/2[T]−1

Not consistent.


B.
Dimensions:

g √d ​= [L][T]−2 √[L]

g √d ​= [L][T]−2 [L]½

g √d ​= [L]3/2[T]−2

Not consistent.

 


C. √(
Dimensions:

√(gd) ​= √( [L][T]−2[L] )

√(gd) ​= √([L]2[T]−2)

√(gd) ​= [L][T]−1

Consistent!


D. g d ​= [L][T]−2[L]

g d ​= [L]2[T]−2

Not consistent.

Conclusion

The only dimensionally consistent equation is:

C. √(gd) ​= [L][T]−1
