Determine a dimension (Dimensional Analysis) and the S.I. unit for the following: Force (which mass and acceleration), Density (which mass per unit volume), Pressure (which force per unit area).

Vernier caliper is used to measure the diameter of a sphere. The measurement diameter of the sphere is 18.82cm. While the actual diameter of the sphere is 19cm. Calculate: Absolute error, Percentage error, Relative accuracy, Percentage accuracy.

Define the two-dimensional motion?

Figure 1 shows the Velocity vs Time graph along 10 second car journey. Compute: The acceleration within period 5s to 8s, Total distance travelled.

Figure 2 shows a ball rolls off the top of a 1.5 m tall table with a horizontal velocity of 2.0 ms-1. Compute: The time taken for the ball to hit the floor, The vertical component of the final velocity ball hits the floor, How far the ball will travel from the table before it hits the floor.
