If force acceleration and time are chosen as the fundamental physical quantities, find the dimensions of energy.
To find the dimensions of energy when force acceleration and time are the fundamental physical quantities, we start by recalling the formula for energy.Energy (specifically kinetic energy) is given by:We need to express mass and velocity in terms of and From Newton's second law, we have:Thus, mass can be expressed as:Velocity is defined as distance over time, but we can also express it in terms of acceleration and time:Substitute these expressions into the energy formula:Simplify the expression:Since the constant does not affect dimensions, the dimensional formula for energy is:Therefore, the correct option is Option 2.
