To answer your questions, let's go through them step-by-step:
1. The correct unit of k in the equation of a damped harmonic oscillator is "s^-2".
2. In the equation , the dimensions of "a" must be "s^-2" and the dimensions of "b" must be "s^-1".

To answer these questions, we need to understand the concepts and principles related to the given topics. Let's go through each question step by step and provide an explanation of how to find the answer.
1. Which of the following is the correct unit of k in the equation of a damped harmonic oscillator given as?
To find the unit of k, we need to look at the equation given. However, the equation is not provided in the question. Please provide the complete equation to determine the unit of k.
2. If s is distance and t is time, what must be the dimensions of a and b in the equation?
Similarly, the equation is not provided in the question. Please provide the complete equation to determine the dimensions of a and b.
3. What are the dimensions of pressure gradient?
The pressure gradient is the rate at which the pressure changes with respect to distance. The dimensions of pressure are force/area (N/m^2 or Pascal). The dimensions of distance are meters. Therefore, the dimensions of pressure gradient would be (N/m^2)/m, which simplifies to N/m^3 or Pascal per meter (Pa/m).
4. Which of the following quantities have the same dimensions?
a) moment and power
b) work and power
c) torque and work
d) work and upthrust
To determine if two quantities have the same dimensions, we need to compare their units.
a) Moment and power: Moment is measured in Newton-meter (Nm), and power is measured in Watt (W). They have different units, so they don't have the same dimensions.
b) Work and power: Work is measured in Joule (J), and power is measured in Watt (W). They both have the same unit of Joule/second, so they have the same dimensions.
c) Torque and work: Torque is measured in Newton-meter (Nm), and work is measured in Joule (J). They have the same unit, so they have the same dimensions.
d) Work and upthrust: Work is measured in Joule (J), and upthrust does not have a specific unit as it depends on the context. So, they don't necessarily have the same dimensions.
Therefore, the quantities that have the same dimensions are b) work and power, and c) torque and work.
5. Which of the following equations is not dimensionally consistent?
To determine if an equation is dimensionally consistent, we need to ensure that the dimensions of each term on both sides of the equation are the same. The equations are not provided in the question. Please provide the equations to determine which one is not dimensionally consistent.
6. Given three vectors u = 6i + 9j, v = -3i + 4j, and w = -2i + 7j, calculate u + v - w.
To calculate u + v - w, we simply add the corresponding components of the vectors.
u + v = (6i + 9j) + (-3i + 4j) = (6 - 3)i + (9 + 4)j = 3i + 13j
u + v - w = (3i + 13j) - (-2i + 7j) = 3i + 13j + 2i - 7j = 5i + 6j
Therefore, the result of the calculation is 5i + 6j.
7. A man walks 13.7 m due east and then 14.6 m due north. Find his resultant displacement.
To find the resultant displacement, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The distance traveled east and north form two sides of a right triangle, and the resultant displacement is the hypotenuse.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
Resultant displacement = sqrt((13.7^2) + (14.6^2))
= sqrt(187.69 + 213.16)
= sqrt(400.85)
≈ 20.02 meters
Therefore, the man's resultant displacement is approximately 20.02 meters.
8. A man leaves the garage in his house and drives to a neighboring town which is twenty kilometers away from his house on sightseeing. He returns home to his garage two hours after. What is his average velocity from home in km/h?
Average velocity is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time taken. In this case, the total displacement is zero because the man started and ended at the same point (his home garage).
Average velocity = total displacement / total time
= 0 kilometers / 2 hours
= 0 kilometers per hour
Therefore, his average velocity from home is 0 km/h.
