Correct Answer
A. Y = a sin 2π t/T

Explanation
Among the all options only option is dimensionally correct and that’s why ‘a’ will be the correct option.

9.

The velocity of an object varies with time and as expressed in the equation: v =Xt² + Yt + Z. If units of v and t are expressed in terms of SI units, which of the following options correctly specifies the units of X, Y, and Z?
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Correct Answer
C.

Explanation
For the equation v = Xt2+Yt+Z the units of the right-hand side should be equal to the units of left-hand side. Each and every term is added with each other so all the terms must have the units equal to units of velocity (i.e. m s-1). So now, unit of X = m s-3, Unit of Y = m s-2 and unit of Z = m s-1. Option ‘C’ is correct.

A cube has sides of length 1.7 X 10^-3m. Calculate its volume.
- A.
  
  4.913 X 10^-9 m³
- B.
  
  4.91 X 10^-9 m³
- C.
  
  4.90 X 10^-9 m³
- D.
  
  4.9 X 10^-9 m³
Correct Answer
D. 4.9 X 10^-9 m³

Explanation
The volume of a cube = a3; where ‘a’ is the side of the cube
In the question a = 1.710-3; so the volume = (1.710-3)3 = 4.91310-9
but the side of the cube is given as 1.710-3 and we have to take care that the answer must be is in the same format as the side so the volume of the cube is = 4.91310-9
