Question

question 36: complete the sentence: in dimensional analysis, ensuring that an equation is ______ is essential.
a. dimensionally consistent
b. numerically random
c. highly variable
d. arbitrarily scaled
question 37: complete the sentence: the method used to convert by multiplying by the appropriate conversion factor is known as ______.
a. dimensional analysis
b. unit assimilation
c. mass conversion
d. numeric scaling
question 38: complete the sentence: to convert pounds to kilograms, you can use the conversion factor ______.

Explanation:

• In dimensional analysis, an equation must be dimensionally consistent. This means the dimensions on both sides of the equation are the same.
• The method of converting units by multiplying with the appropriate conversion - factor is called dimensional analysis.
• The conversion factor from pounds to kilograms is 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms.

Answer:

Question 36: A. dimensionally consistent
Question 37: A. dimensional analysis
Question 38: 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms
