Measurements play an important role in Physics. A unit has to be defined before any kind of
measurement can be made. Different systems of units have been used in the past. These
include the foot pound- second (FPS) system, the centimetre-gram- second
-

(CGS) system,
and the metre kilogram - second (MKS) system. The new system which has now gained

Page 1 of 3
universal acceptance is the systeme international d'units,
usually called S.I. units. Physical
quantities are often divided into
fundamental quantities and derived quantities.
The dimension of a physical
quantity is the way it is related to the quantities of mass,
and time. The dimension of unit mass is length
M, for unit length,
L and for unit time T.

6Physical Quantities consist of a and its

(A) numerical magnitude, SI Unit (B) quantity, physical state
(C) Si unit, physical state
(D) physical state, physical characteristics

S() Which one of these options is NOT derived

(A) area
a
quantity?
(B) volume
(C) density (D) temperature

6mi) Which is dimensionless?

(A) Force/acceleration (B) Velocity/acceleration
(C) Volume/area (D) Energy/work
6fev Two quantities A and B have different dimensions. Which mathematical
below is physically meaningful? operation given
(A) A/B
(C)A-B
(B)A+B
(D) A =B
6v)f time T, acceleration A and force F are regarded as base units, then the dimensional
formula of work is
WFd
tA) IFA (B) [FAT] F
IC)FAT1 (D) [FAT]
For questions 7 and 8 two statements given o n e labelled Assertion (A) and the other
A
are
labeled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the options a), b),c)
and d) as given below.

MLA7-2 VAT
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(B) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.
(C) A is true but R is false.
(D) A is false but R is true.

A A B
UAssertion: If dot product and cross product of vectors A and B are zero, it implies that one
of the vector A and B must be a null vector
Reason: Null vector is a vector with zero magnitude. (1)
8Assertion: Velocity-time graph for an object in uniform motion along a straight path isa
straight line parallel to the time axis.
Reasoning: In uniform motion of an object velocity increases as the square of time elapsed.
(1)
9State the principle of homogeneity. (1)
6r Kinetic energy of a particle moving along an elliptical trajectory is given by K = ps* where T
sis the distance travelled by the particle. Determine the dimension of B.
