The position x of a particle at time t is given by x=(V_(0))/(a)(1-e^(-at)), where V_(0) is constant and a gt 0. The dimensions of V_(0) and a are

Answer»

`[M^(0)LT^(-1)]` and `[M^(0)L^(0)T^(-1)]`
`[M^(0)LT^(0)]` and `[M^(0)LT^(-1)]`
`[M^(0)LT^(-1)]` and `[MLT^(-2)]`
`[M^(0)LT^(-1)]` and `[M^(0)LT]`

Solution :As`a xx t` is dimensionless,
`:. [a] = (1)/([t])= (1)/([T])= [T^(-1)]= [M^(0)L^(0)T^(-1)]`
ALSO `[x]= ([V_(0)])/([a])` or `[V_(0)]= [x][a]= [L][M^(0)L^(0)T^(-1)] = [M^(0)LT^(-1)]`
