- True or False: According to the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), the kilogram is currently defined by a physical prototype made of platinum-iridium kept in a vault in Sèvres, France.A) TrueB) False
- When performing Taylor series expansions in physical modeling, why must the argument of a transcendental function (like ln(x) or e^x) be dimensionless?A) Because SI units do not exist for logarithmic scales.B) To ensure the sum of the power series has consistent dimensions across all terms.C) Dimensionless arguments are required only for trigonometric functions, not exponentials.D) Because the derivative of a dimensioned quantity is always zero.
