1 Clayton College & State University August 28, 2002 Name 1. The height of horses is measured in a unit called hands. If a height of 20 hands were expressed in the SI system of units, the units would be: a. m. Yes, this is the right answer since we are talking about length b. s. c. m/s. d. kg/s. 2. Which of the following equations is dimensionally consistent? a. t =1/3 xa. No, T =L*L/T 2, T =L 2 /T 2 b. v = ½ at 2. No, L/T =L/T 2 *T 2, L/T =L c. a=(vt 2 ) 1/2. No, L/T 2 =L 1/2 *T d. v 2 = 2ax. Yes, L 2 /T 2 = L/T 2 *L, L 2 /T 2 = L 2 /T 2 3. The US dollar is not an SI unit. Nonetheless, express the sticker price of your favorite sports car in kilodollars (kilobucks!). What is the cost per kilogram? 30,000 dollars = 30.0 * 10 3 dollars = 30.0 kilodollars My estimation of the mass of a car: 2000 kg. Cost per kilogram = 30,000 dollars/ 2000 kg = 15.0 dollars/kg.
