Which of the following quantities has the same dimensions as that of energy?

A

Power

B

Force

C

Momentum

D

Work

Step-by-Step Solution

To find the quantity with the same dimensions as energy, we compare the dimensional formulae of the given options:

  1. Energy: Defined as the capacity to do work. Its dimensions are [ML2T2][ML^2T^{-2}] .
  2. Analyze Options:
  • Power: Rate of doing work (P=W/tP = W/t). Dimensions: [ML2T2]/[T]=[ML2T3][ML^2T^{-2}] / [T] = [ML^2T^{-3}] .
  • Force: Mass ×\times Acceleration (F=maF = ma). Dimensions: [M][LT2]=[MLT2][M][LT^{-2}] = [MLT^{-2}] .
  • Momentum: Mass ×\times Velocity (p=mvp = mv). Dimensions: [M][LT1]=[MLT1][M][LT^{-1}] = [MLT^{-1}] .
  • Work: Force ×\times Displacement (W=FdW = F \cdot d). Dimensions: [MLT2][L]=[ML2T2][MLT^{-2}][L] = [ML^2T^{-2}] .
  1. Conclusion: The dimensions of Work [ML2T2][ML^2T^{-2}] are identical to those of Energy.
