The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

(A) Energy and torque:

  • Energy has dimensions \([ML^2T^{-2}]\).
  • Torque has dimensions \([ML^2T^{-2}]\).

(B) Force and impulse:

  • Force has dimensions \([MLT^{-2}]\).
  • Impulse has dimensions \([MLT^{-1}]\).

(C) Angular momentum and Planck constant:

  • Angular momentum has dimensions \([ML^2T^{-1}]\).
  • Planck constant (h) has dimensions \([ML^2T^{-1}]\).

(D) Elastic modulus and pressure:

  • Elastic modulus has dimensions \( [ML^{-1}T^{-2}]\).
  • Pressure has dimensions\( [ML^{-1}T^{-2}]\).

From the above data, Force and impulse does not have equal dimensions.

So, the correct option is (B): Force and impulse

Uncertainty in Measurement

  • Atoms and molecules consist of very low mass. But they are present in huge numbers.
  • Chemists have to deal with numbers as large as 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000, which is the number of molecules of 2g of hydrogen.
  • There are even other constants like the speed of light, charges on particles, Avogadro’s number and etc.
  • To handle these large or small numbers, we use the following notation: m × 10n, which is, m times ten raised to the power of n. In this expression, n is an exponent having positive and negative values and m is that number that varies from 1.000… and 9.999…
  • The scientific notation 573.672 can be written as 5.73672 × 10 and in the same way, 0.000089 can also be written as 8.9 × 10-5.
  • All of these help us to attain easier handling, better precision, and accuracy while performing operations on numbers with high magnitudes.
