Chapter 2, Problem 1CQ

(a)

To determine

The unit of speed in the system.

Answer to Problem 1CQ

The unit of speed in the system is $\text{boogles/bops}$.

Explanation of Solution

Write the formula for speed.

$\text{speed}=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}$

The distance is measured in boogles and time is expressed as bops. Therefore, the unit of speed is,

$\text{speed}=\text{boogles/bops}$

Conclusion:

The unit of speed in the system is $\text{boogles/bops}$.

(b)

To determine

The unit of velocity in the system.

Answer to Problem 1CQ

The unit of velocity in the system is $\text{boogles/bops}$.

Explanation of Solution

The units of speed and velocity are the same. Therefore, the unit of velocity is,

$\text{velocity}=\text{boogles/bops}$

Conclusion:

The unit of velocity in the system is $\text{boogles/bops}$.

(c)

To determine

The unit of acceleration in the system.

Answer to Problem 1CQ

The unit of acceleration in the system is $\text{boogles/}{\left(\text{bops}\right)}^2$.

Explanation of Solution

Write the formula for acceleration.

$\text{acceleration}=\frac{\text{velocity}}{\text{time}}$

The velocity is measured in $\text{boogles/bops}$ and time is expressed as bops. Therefore, the unit of acceleration is,

$\text{acceleration}=\text{boogles/}{\left(\text{bops}\right)}^2$

Conclusion:

The unit of acceleration in the system is $\text{boogles/}{\left(\text{bops}\right)}^2$.
