Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.11 Dimensional Analysis and Unit Conversion skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A damped oscillator contains the factor e^(-bt/(2m)). Since the exponent must be dimensionless, what unit must b have if m is in kg and t is in seconds?

Akg*s

Bs/kg

C1/s

Dkg/s

Solution & Explanation:The ratio bt/m must have no units. Therefore b times seconds must have kg, so b has units kg/s.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Electric potential energy can be calculated using U = qV. Which unit check is correct?

AC*V = N because voltage is force per charge.

BC/V = J because voltage must be divided from charge.

CC*V = J because 1 V = 1 J/C.

DV/C = J because charge is in the denominator.

Solution & Explanation:A volt is a joule per coulomb, so multiplying by coulombs leaves joules.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A rotating disk diagram labels rotational inertia I in kg*m² and angular acceleration alpha in 1/s². For tau = I alpha, which unit should torque have?

Akg*m/s², equivalent to N

Bkg*m²/s², equivalent to N*m

Ckg*m²/s, equivalent to angular momentum

Dkg/(m²*s²), equivalent to pressure

Solution & Explanation:Multiplying kg*m² by 1/s² gives kg*m²/s², which is the same as N*m.
